Low airflow, low refrigerant or restriction

No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
The pressure should be equal to a saturated suction temperature of around 40*F. The pressure would differ depending on which refrigerant is used.
Your reciprocating compressors have to be the booster compressors (if running on low temp system)feeding its discharge to the suction of the screw(not directly)(if running on medium temp.
Low side.
When the ship is at the port, the water is shallow therefore we use high seawater suction. If the low seawater suction was used instead, impurities such as sand would be sucked into the system..

At very low suction pressure, the suction valves of reciprocating compressor will not work and there will be no gas in the cylinder during compression stroke, resulting some damage to the suction valves. If low suction pressure trip protection is not provided there can be some abnormal damage.
A Low Pressure System
If you are asking why the low side is high and the high side is low that would indicate that you have a restriction in the a/c system...........
The low side is from the H-valve or orifice tube to the suction side of the compressor.The low side is from the H-valve or orifice tube to the suction side of the compressor.
no that only means that the low side (suction) of the system is working properly. the low side is and should be cold or wet from condensation the high side or (discharge) side should be hot and should not be touched system should be working fine. if the suction side ever gets hot then that would probley indicate that your out of free-on and should have some look at it
The low pressure port (Suction) and the high pressure port (Discharge) are both located on the back side of the compressor.
There is a web site www.idqusa.com where there is helpfull information about your vehicle ac system. There is a lowside port locator on there.
Low and high pressure systems. Obviously if you have a Low pressure system the barometric pressure will get low. High pressure causes the barometric pressure to rise.
