No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.

When is the low suction side of the ac system?

There are two coolant lines that come from the compressor. One line goes to the condenser (radiator looking thing in front of the engine radiator). That line is the High side. From the radiator, that line goes through the firewall. The OTHER line that goes to the comressor is the LOW side, or some call it the suction side. Somewhere along that line you should be able to find a refrigerant test port. The low side will only be low when the compressor is running.


What would cause the low side on an air conditioner to be too high?

When you say too high, just how high is it and what is the high side pressure. It is not uncommon for the suction pressure(lowside) to get up to 80psi on a very hot day. You cannot determine what is wrong unless more information is provided. It could be that your system is overcharged, but without the high side pressure and the temp of the suction line it is hard to give the right answer.

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.


Which port on AC compressor is low pressure 1999 Chevy blazer?

They may be marked "S" and "D" for suction (low side) and discharge (high side). A simpler way would be to look at the lines going into and out of the AC.... the smaller line will be the high pressure line, while the larger line will be the low pressure line. The low pressure line will connect at the compressor inlet, and the high pressure line will connect at the compressor outlet.
