low pressure liquid
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

Liquid
superheat gas
Refrigerant is superheated when leaving the evaporator so that the compressor is not getting liquid along with the gas, becauseÊliquid can cause damage the compressor.
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.

Ensures that only liquid refrigerant continues on to the Thermal Expansion Valve.
By law, an ASE certified technician in an EPA certified shop must recover and store the refrigerant in your vehicle. Once that's done, you use a fuel line separator to disconnect the refrigerant hoses from the receiver-drier.
In Liquid state
According to state of the outlet refrigerant from compressor, it's better we use refrigerant temperature.
tis is normal for an expansion valve/receiver dryer type
