What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rises?
the head pressure will rise
If a compressor has faulty valves the head pressure?
the pressure would be low
Is poor compressor can cause high head pressure in an air cooled condenser?
Poor compressor performance should result in low head pressure as the system cools better than the compressor can pump.
What is compressor head as it relates to discharge pressure?
the head doesnt effect the output pressure of a compressor package but the size of the piston and the amount of clearence and volume between the piston and head changes your output psi
If compressor has faulty valves the head pressure would be?
broken
Does compressor work more efficiently with an increased head pressure?
It depends on other conditions too. There is a net suction head, which is the pressure from which the compressor is drawing the gas. An increase here will often improve the compressor's efficiency. There is also a net discharge head, which is the pressure the compressor is trying to maintain. An increase here will often decrease the compressor's efficiency. There is an efficiency curve for all compressors, and they are all different based on their design, it is dependent on the differential pressure (NDH - NSH) and load (air flow in SCFM, typically) of the compressor, at a certain load the efficiency peaks then drops as the load increases.
A refrigerator with a freon restriction would have what symptoms?
High head pressure; low suction pressure; overheated compressor
Why did the air compressor quit turning?
Seized? Low freon charge? High head pressure?
Why is there too much pressure in cooling system in Detroit 60 series?
Bad head gasket or cylinder head. Suggest to check air compressor before working on the head.
Why should you never front seat the discharge service valve while a compressor is running?
This will cause the head pressure to climb very high and if something doesn't explode or cut out on a high pressure safety, you and the equipment will be damaged. Hopefully compressor will be one with internal or external overload. To summarize DONT DO IT WHILE COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING.
What makes a Compressor on and off all the time?
Hi the compressor has a device usually a pressure switch that on off loads the head inlet compression valve system. With a screw compressor it is usually a diaphragm operating a piston that open and closes the inlet to the element
What is suction and discharge head?
These are terms used by refrigeration and air conditioning techs. The suction is refrigerant returning to the compressor from the evaporator, or the low side. The high side is the discharge or head pressure, where high temperature high pressure gas leaves the compressor to flow into the condenser. These systems should only be worked on by licensed and experienced techs.
