What component is closed during charging to prevent the flow of refrigerant to the low-pressure side of the refrigeration system?

The King valve is closed, starving the low pressure side, creating more vacuum while charging with a liquid


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


Heating and cooling window unit how does it work?

Sounds like a heat pump to me. It acts like a normal a/c unit in cooling and a reversing valve switches the direction of refrigerant flow when operating as a heat pump. The hot discharge gas from the compressor goes to the indoor coil instead of the outside coil in h/p mode. It really just moves the heat from the outdoor air and puts it inside. All this by using the magic of the refrigeration cycle. lc


Why your air condition got ice on the pipes in blows hot air what is wrong with it?

system has a leak and is low on refrigerant or air flow is restricted by a dirty filter or coils


What happens in between evaporation and condensation?

Compression is the most important stage happening in a VCC. We know that heat can not pass from low temperature to high temperature. Due to compression Boiling Point of a refrigerant increases above either ambinet temperature or above cooling water temperature and also refrigerant temperature is very high than abmient. Hence heat can flow from refrigerant to atmosphere. This allows sensible cooling first and below BP further high amount of latent heat is removed causing liquification of refrigerant which is not possible unless pressure is raised after evaporator. Hence Compressor is required.

What are the four basic components in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle?

Vapor compression in the refrigeration cycle is the process which turns heated vapor into a cold liquid. This allows the coolant to flow through the condenser and cool the air.


What does a refrigerant do?

a refrigeration mechanic works on anything that uses refrigeration, from air conditioning to arenas, they have to be competent in a lot fields; mechanical, electrical, refrigerants, oils, air flow, water flow, gas physics, equipment sizing and customer relations. it takes years to learn the trade and you have to be tough as a nail but if you make it through an apprenticeship you will not regret it.

What is the difference between an open circuit and an open aev?

This is copied from Section 6.11, Question 8 in "Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning." The answer is (B), "The open circuit prevents flow. The open AEV allows flow to occur." Although a bit obscure, the answer is correct because, within the context of an electrical circuit, an "open circuit" (i.e. disconnected wire) would prevent the flow of electrical current. Within the context of a refrigeration circuit, an open AEV (automatic expansion valve) would permit the flow of refrigerant into an evaporator coil to provide cooling.
