60. When charging a chiller, refrigerant vapor is introduced into the system before charging with liquid. This is because:

Vapor charging increases pressure slowly, preventing failure of the rupture disk.
Vapor charging is faster than liquid charging.
Liquid charging is more difficult to control than vapor charging.
Liquid charged into a deep vacuum will cause the refrigerant to boil and may lower temperatures enough to freeze the water in the tubes.
