It regulates the air pressure coming out of the compressor. Usually, they are adjustable and used to lower the air pressure.
regulator valve
NO ... this is dangerous, take your tank to a professional depot that does this , but remove the regulator first.
The 2003 Chevrolet trailblazer air conditioning line can be found on the air conditioning compressor. The line goes from the compressor to the firewall. The line will go through the firewall to the air conditioner core.
Yes, the discharge line from the compressor can be hot.Yes, the discharge line from the compressor can be hot.
By the use of a tank and a regulator. The compressor discharges into the tank, where the pressure can vary but is always higher than the desired pressure. The tank feeds the regulator which delivers the desired pressure. Alternately, you might be able to size or modify the compressor to meet the load exactly with a 100% duty cycle, but that is less practical.
the big line is the suction for the the compressor in the A/C unit, The small line is the compressor discharge that goes to the furnace
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.
If you can buy air line antifreeze, buy some. Open the hood. Disconnect the air line from the air compressor. Dump some of the air line antifreeze into the air line. Reconnect the air line to the compressor. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol may also be used for this purpose in a pinch. Otherwise, idle your motor and wait - the air gets heated, and will eventually unfreeze the air lines.
Air compressor filters are on the intake side of the compressor motor to filter the air as it is brought in. Dryers are collection points that are drained daily as the compressor is hot when operating and moisture develops in the tank. Should drain the tank daily after use and the dryer should be installed in line before the gun.
The suction line will be the larger line going into the compressor.
Low pressure line larger line from the compressor
Discharge line is the line in which the refrigerant passes through after being discharged by the compressor. Liquid line is the line located after the condenser, following refrigeration cycle. Suction line is the one that the referigerant is sucked :) in, to enter the compressor.
