When an evaporater experiences a heat-load increase the suction pressure does what?
The suction pressure increase.
What is negative suction?
pressure
What will cause the suction pressure to rise?
head pressure
What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rises?
the head pressure will rise
What will cause suction pressure to rise?
Remember that suction refers to the low side, and is showing you what is happening with in the evaporator coil. Higher than normal pressures indicate the refrigerant is not transferring its heat into the air passing through evaporator coil. You need to assess the air flow, are the filter or coil dirty, or is the ducting blocked, fan speed set up correctly. Try cleaning coils and a light weight filter, then recheck pressures.
How do you determine what suction pressure should be in R22 air conditioning compressors suction line?
The proper suction pressure of any air conditioning or refrigeration system is determined by the type of refrigerant used and sometimes the amount of charge. : Suction pressure used is also directly related to the temperature required. : The temperature required in the evaporator relates to the pressure required in the suction line since, the fluid is at saturation in the evaporator. : Knowing the temperature required, use the fluid's saturation tables to find the corresponding pressure required.
What is the fan speed relationship to suction pressure?
for a given air conditioner: the faster the condenser (outdoor) fan the lower the suction pressure. the faster the evaporator (indoor) fan the higher the suction pressure.
What is a suction line on an Air Conditioner?
The suction line connects the evaporator outlet and the compressor intlet. Low pressure refrigerator vapour is drawn from the evaporator to the compressor through this line.
What is suction?
An A/C compressor sucks refrigerant gas from the evaporator inside the car and compresses it into high pressure liquid. So the tubing that goes from the evaporator inside the car to the compressor is called the suction line.
Where is low pressure AC port?
It will be on the suction line (larger of the lines) between the compressor and the evaporator.
How do you calculate superheat temp?
take your gages and put them on the beginning of the evaporator (afte metering device or txv) and look at saturation temp then get your temp at the suction line (before the compressor)
How do you use the temperature pressure table when measuring suction pressure on your split system air conditioner?
i think you subtract the evaporator temp from the outside temp?
What is the purpose of the external equalizer on a TXV?
The purpose of the External equalizer on the TXV is to compensate for the pressure drop in the evaporator coil , This is done since the superheat calculation is based on the difference in the Saturation temperature corresponding to the Suction pressure (Measured after the coil) and the actual suction line temperature. Now, in a TXV measurement of actual line temperature is accomplished by using the Sensing Bulb and the Measurement of the Suction pressure by the External Equalizer of the TXV. The opening/Closing of the Expansion valve is controlled by the setting of the superheat which is governed by the setting of the Spring.
How do you mesure superheat?
Superheat is measured by calculating the temperature of the refrigerant vapor above its saturation temperature at a given pressure. This is done using a pressure-temperature chart for the specific refrigerant being used. The difference between the actual vapor temperature and the saturation temperature at that pressure is the superheat.
If the blades on a forward curved centrifugal evaporator blower become clogged with dirt what will happen?
the suction pressure drop and the evapo freeze
Why is your suction line warm?
your starving the evaporator
Why must refrigerant in the suction line be slightly warmer than the saturation temperature?
why must refrigerant in the suction line be slightly warmer than the saturation temperture
