Answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that some common types of throttling devices are

  • Hard -throttling devices
  • Capillary valve
  • Constant pressure throttling devices
  • Thermostatic expansion valve
  • Float expansion valve

so here throttling devices commonly used in refrigeration and air-conditioning because

  • To reduce the coolant pressure, the high pressure of the refrigerant from the condenser is necessary to reduce the evaporation to obtain evaporation at the right temperature
  • To meet the refrigerated load, the throttling valve flows through the coolant to cool the load at high temperatures.
