There is no real set temp for the lines ,the bigger thing is the heat that the outside unit is producing when the unit is on. A normal functional AC unit will be around 105 to 110 degrees as for the copper lines they should feel pretty cold to the touch like an ice colds beer feels in your hand......
suction line liquid line
The installation manual will tell you what size lines are acceptable.
The expansion device inside the outside unit expands the refrigerant gas and as a result, the discharge lines chills
no need to change the copper tube if the capacity of the unit is same.
If you are talking about the larger of the 2 copper lines, the problem could be that the unit is low on refrigerant. Check to ensure that the large line is insulated and not exposed.
The refrigerant lines should be as short as possible and preferrably without splices.

my copper lines freezing on central air unit.
Stress on the refrigerant lines
depending on the size of the unit i took 2.5 ton off and made$60.00 off it and the copper lines that connect it $27.00 so if you have an old unit it is worth taking off .
Coils, whether in the indoor or the outdoor unit, have copper refrigerant lines that "snake" through the coil. This is where the heat transfer takes place. These snaked copper lines can be stacked on top of one another within the same coil to maximize the amount of heat transfer that occurs. The number of rows varies from one product to another.

My guess is you probably have a Heat Pump Condenser. If you are running in air conditioning you need to make sure that the reversing valve is energized.

Yes, depending on how long the lines are. The unit should have a sticker showing the unit's charge, then you have to figure the lines and the coils in the furnace.
I was told 3 to 6 pds of freon, told it depended on the length of the copper lines between the condenser and the airhandler.
