What is the device in a refrigeration system that causes the refrigerant to go from a liquid to a gas is the?
orifice
What is meant by restricting liquid refrigerant into a refrigeration system when charging?
Vaporizing the refrigerant
Define flash gas and how it applies to the net refrigeration effect of the refrigeration cycle?
FLASH GAS - Instantaneous evaporation of some liquid refrigerant at the metering device due to pressure drop which cools the remaining liquid refrigerant to desired evaporation temperature.This flash gas cannot absorb any heat having a negative effect on the net refrigeration cycle
What is meant by restricting liquid refrigeration system when charging?
Vaporizing the Refrigerant
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

How is liquid refrigerant added to the refrigeration system when the system is out of refrigeration?
Liquid refrigerant charging of a system is normally accomplished in the liquid line. For example, when a system is out of refrigerant, liquid refrigerant can be charged into the king valve on the liquid line or receiver.
What device causes the refrigerant to undergo transition from a liquid to gas?
evaporator

Why is refrigerant vapor re introduced to the refrigeration system before refrigerant liquid?
To endure that the ONLY gas in the system is refrigerant.

How does a split air conditioner work?
All refrigeration cycles operate on the theory of changing states of a refrigerant to remove and reject heat. To remove heat, liquid refrigerant is exposed to the air passing through the evaporator, the removed heat causes the liquid refrigerant to boil, or change state liquid to a vapor, consequently, the heat is rejected by removing heat and condensing the vapor back to a liquid.
How do you determine when enough vapor has entered the refrigeration system before you charge refrigerant liquid?
When the refrigerant saturation temperature increases to 36 degrees F.
Does refrigerant enter the compressor as a low temperature low pressure gas?
Yes. The basic components of the refrigeration system are the refrigerant, compressor, condenser and receiver, expansion device and the evaporator. One cycle: Refrigerant travels to Compressor (A) to Condenser (B) to Expansion device (C) to evaporator (D). The refrigerant gas at low pressure and temperature is drawn into the compressor. The gas is compressed to a higher pressure, which causes an increase in the temperature. The refrigerant gas at a high pressure and temperature passes to the condenser (point B), where it is cooled (the refrigerant gives up its latent heat) and then condenses to a liquid. The high pressure, low temperature liquid is collected in the receiver. The high pressure liquid is routed through an expansion valve (point C), where it undergoes an abrupt reduction in pressure. That pressure reduction causes part of the liquid to immediately vaporize or flash. The vapor and remaining liquid are cooled to the saturation temperature (boiling point) of the liquid at the reduced pressure. At this point most of the refrigerant is a liquid. The boiling point of the liquid is low, due to the low pressure. When the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator (point D), it absorbs heat from the process and boils. The refrigerant gas is now at low pressure and temperature, and enters the suction side of the compressor, completing the cycle.
When the refrigerant passes through the metering device some of it starts to flash from a liquid to a gas?
when the refrigerant passes through the metering device, some of it starts to flash from a liquid to a gas because
