Q

What of the following is true regarding the evaporator pressure and temperature?
* If the system load is high, the evap temp will increase and the evap pressure will decrease
* If the system load is low, evap temp will increase and the evap pressure will decrease
* If the system load is high, the evap temp and pressure will both increase
* If the system load is high, the evap temp and pressure will both decrease

A

If the system load is high, the evap temp and pressure will both increase

Pressure and temp are married when you add more heat to the evap.
