High side and low side refer to the pressures in the two halves of the system. AC works by compressing refrigerant in the compressor ( the beginning of the 'high side'), cooling in the condensor it, and then expanding it to absorb heat ( where it enters the low side). Then the low-side piping takes is back to the compressor, where the cycle starts over.

When the high side pressure is low and the low side pressure is high on a residential air conditioning unit what is the problem?

If your low side (evaporator coil) pressure is higher than your high side (condenser coil) while the compressor is running, your switching valve is in the reversed position. That is, you are in the heating mode of the heat-pump, and the pressures are reversed to provide heat into the home.

What is the difference between high bypass and low bypass turbofan?

The difference between the low and high bypass turbofans is simply in the amount of air which goes into the engine versus the remainder that goes around (bypasses) the engine. In high bypass engines ( an engine on any large commercial jet) only 20% around 20% of air goes into the engine with 80% bypassing it. (The 80% generates most of the engine thrust) In low bypass engines, this ratio is much lower


How do you to select a pneumatic hammer which can give 25 g force?

It depends on air pressure in the pneumatic system. You pneumatic systems for high and low air pressure to force change. This is the compressor power.


How locomotive compressor work?

3cd b is name of compressor , is using in diesel locomotive . Compressor has three stage of cylinders w pattern. There are 2 low pressure cylinder 1 is high pressure, low pressure has 2 inlet & 2 discharge valve . Atmosphere air comes from air intake filters through inlet valve open position into low pressure cylinders via inter cooler get cooled goes to high pressure cylinder . The cooling improves the volumetric efficiency of the compressor. The fan the finned tubes of the inter cooler increses the cooling efficiency. After well compressed air from high pressure goes to after cooler & way to mr tank for air brake system. So compressor only used for air brake locomotives.
