Does refrigerant enter evaporator as a liquid in a direct expansion evaporator?
It will, in basically all cases be a mixture of liquid and vapor, which means the refrigerant is saturated but with a few bubbles entering the evaporator. In a properly operating system though entering the metering device should be solid liquid and some sub-cooling (sub-cooled means cooler then saturation and therefore= no vapor) but then through the metering device (TXV, cap tube, orifice) some of the liquid will boil off, which is called flash gas, in order to cool the refrigerant down as saturated temperature goes down (the pressure to boiling point relation, as pressure is reduced boiling point is lowed). The amount of flash gas is directly related to the specific heat of the refigernt (BTUs/lb), the number of degrees you are cooling the refrigerant (eg. 95 to 45), and the latent heat of vaporization (BTUs/lb for change of state. liquid to vapor)
How should the liquid line of an ac unit feel?
What temperature should liquid line be on 134a refrigerant
What is the function of liquid receiver in a refrigeration system?
Liquid receivers are used to store the liquid refrigerant after it leaves the condenser. It should be located below the condenser to enable natural flow. The receiver may be constructed either vertically or horizontally and should have sufficient capacity to hold the entire system's refrigerant charge. The design should be such that only liquid refrigerant leaves the receiver and enters the liquid line. by vishal mahnn
How do you calculate the subcooling in HVAC?
To calculate subcooling in HVAC, you need to measure the liquid line temperature and pressure. First, convert the pressure into temperature using a temperature-pressure chart. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the converted temperature to calculate the subcooling. Subcooling is important to ensure the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser is cooler than its saturation point to prevent the formation of flash gas in the metering device.
What amount of superheat is recommended for R-22?
Superheat depends on the type of metering device you are using in the equipment as well as the current state of the load. With a fixed orifice, the superheat will be high, about 20 to 30 degrees when the box is warm, down around 10-15 when the box is cold. With a txv, the superheat should be constant, normally between 10-15 degrees. It is best to check the superheat at the outlet of the evaporator. this will ensure that the compressor does not slug with liquid refrigerant.
Blended refrigerants should be charged a as a vaper b at very high temperatures c as a liquid d the same as any other refrigerant?

What device should be used when powders must be combined with liquid?

What device should be used when powder must be combined with liquid?
A teaspoon
How do you change the expansion valve in an E350 Van?
There is no expansion valve. The metering device is called a expansion valve should be located in the small line on the condenser it will be located near the line at the connection
How do you correct when a compressor has lock up due to liquid charging?
Bleed off some of the refrigerant to get the system pressure down, then wait a while until any liquid refrigerant in the compressor has time to leak into the refrigerant loop. It may take a few minutes; since the compressor valves seal imperfectly, pressures will eventually equalize and it should be possible to start up the compressor again.
When should refrigerant be removed from the condenser outlet?
Refrigerant should be removed from the condenser outlet when:
Should bubble be green if air conditioner is full?
If you are referring to the sight glass, the liquid beneath the glass should flow clear without bubbles when properly charged with refrigerant.
