Proper pipe sizing is in the installation manual. The piping should be one continuous run of the same size.

Why is the suction line of a pump larger than the discharge line?

It is common practice to specify the pump suction line one size larger than the pump discharge line in order to increase the Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHA) to the pump. A smaller suction line the same pipe size as the discharge line would result in more pressure drop in the suction line and reduce the amount of head available to the suction side of the pump. This in turn would result in an operating point closer to cavitation of the pump.


How do you fix a 12000 btu Goodman AC split unit if the evaporator starts but the condenser contactor coil is not getting the 220v supply when you turn it on?

You dont say if the the contractor pulls in ? IDoes it? Three AC servicemen could not repair this same problem last year. These were very experienced servicemen and they had the same problem you have here - if you are stating it correctly. The condenser contactor coil - also called a relay coil is supplied by a 24 volt supply via the thermostat in simple systems. It tells the relay out in the condenser unit to connect the 220 volt feed line to the compressor. That sugger is going to come on. Your facts are wrong or your 220 volts is not on the relay input.


Where is the condenser coil for ac on 1999 suburban?

If you look through the grill on the front of the truck you will see it. It looks just like the radiator and it is bolted to the front of the radiator. It is about the same size as the radiator.


Is more suction produced by two motors in line or side by side?

actually, the results should be same (if area is =) as they both are doing the same force, but are placed differently.


Where is the AC orifice tub on 96 Chevy 350?

I'm not certain but I THINK it's in the coupling at the condenser coil. That's the location on a 92 Silverado and I think most of the AC is the same on the 96.


Is expansion an suction stroke same?

No.


How can you safely do a pump down procedure on a home split cycle air conditioning system and what tools would you need?

I think you mean a split system ac unit, not a split cycle.You will need a set of refrigeration gauges and a means of closing whatever types of service valves are on your unit. You will also need to know what order in which to close those valves and what the readings on the gauges are telling you. The pumpdown procedure only takes a couple of minutes, so call a tech for the 1 hour service call. Then call him back to do a proper restart. You cannot Safely do it.The process of doing this may sound complicated but it is easy for a technician.There are two valves at the condenser, one valve for the suction line and one valve for the liquid line. The HVAC technician closes the liquid line valve and turns the air conditioning on. The compressor pumps all the refrigerant into the condenser coils. The HVAC technician watches his gages carefully and when the pressure gets to zero on the gages he quickly closes the suction line valve to trap the refrigerant in the condenser and then turn the compressor off. This saves using refrigerant unnessarily because the same refrigerant in the system can be reused for the new evaporator coil or air handler. After the new evaporator coil or air handler is installed the HVAC technician evacuates the new part of the system and when completed with the evacuation process opens the valves to allow the refrigerant into the new part of the system. To make sure the charge is correct he uses his gages and the superheat method or subcooling to ensure the proper amount of refrigerant is in the system.


If relocating a home AC compressor-condenser unit how far from the evaporator can it be and could the condenser be remote from the compressor?

in a typical residential split system, the condenser fan is cooling the compressor so i wouldn't expect the same useful life from the compressor if it were not being cooled. you could set up its own fan i suppose. you can separate the evaporator and condenser about 25' (50' total line circuit) off the shelf. farther than that, the manufacturer usually has a larger line set (diameters) to keep the same performance rating. you also get into oil drainback issues, i.e. you have to pay attention in sloping the lineset to drain oil back to the compressor.


Are the suction cups on an octopus tentacles all the same size?

no


What is the difference between helical spring and coil spring?

Is the condenser fan and the rad fan the same on a 1996 Honda civic ex?

No. The condenser fan is for the A/C(right side). The radiator fan is on the left.


Is an ignition module the same as a ignition coil?

No. The coil provides the spark and the module tells the coil when to spark.
