What is the function of liquid receiver in a refrigeration system?
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
Why do you need to recharge the refrigeration system?
usually the refrigerant you have pumped out of the system is contaminated (either liquid/air) contaminated refrigerant is less efficiant and will lead to a short system life. refrigerant is works kind of like the rain in a water cycle. The system starts at the compresser (the heart of the system) pushing refrigerant in to the condenser (like condensation in the clouds) condensing to a liquid and heads toward the metering device (raining) The metering devise rapidly lowers the pressure of the system into the evaporator (get the picture already?) where the refrigerant collects the heat in the refrigerated space and boils into a vapour releasing it to out side the refrigerated space. obviously there is more detail then this but thats the basic operation.
What is meant by restricting liquid refrigerant into a refrigeration system when charging?
Vaporizing the refrigerant
How is the refrigerant cylinder pressure kept above the system pressure when a system is being charged with vapor from a cylinder?
Add refrigerant vapor on the low side of the system ,the compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant on the high side of the system and lowers the pressure on the low side
Which item is not a part of the AC system compressor condenser evaporator radiator?
Radiator.

What state of refrigerant leaving the receiver of a refrigerant system?
Liquid
How do Air Condition condensers work?
Refrigerant is pumped out of the compressor as a high pressure vapor, and it goes into the condenser inlet as such. The condenser acts as a heat exchanger, transferring heat from the refrigerant to the air which passes over the condenser fins. While in the condenser, the refrigerant will change state from a high pressure vapor to a high pressure liquid, then it moves on to the receiver-drier (on a thermal expansion valve system) or the orifice tube (on a fixed orifice tube system).
What does the condenser the refrigerant does?
The condenser is a coil in a refrigeration system. It is on the low pressure side and is exposed to ambient air temp. The refrigerant goes through that and is cooled off and is then sent to the compressor.
Where does refrigerant go after it leaves the purge unit of a low-pressure Centrifugal system?
condenser
How is liquid refrigerant added to the refrigeration system when the system is out of refrigeration?
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.
How much refrigerant does a air conditioner condenser use?
The refrigerant is for the entire air conditioner system not just for the condenser units. First, this question is not specific! There is whole bunch air conditioner condenser. Each manufacture design different condenser capacity. I might come back to this question.
What does the condenser on a car engine do?
"ITS PART OF THE COOLING SYSTEM?? " That is what the part is, not what it does. The Condenser, condenses the refrigerant while releasing heat that was in the car. Allowing the system to cool the inside of the car.
What role does a compessor play in a refrigeration system?
In vapour compressor refrigeration system the low pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant from evaporator is compressed. where it is compressed to a high pressure and temperature. From compressor refrigerant goes to condenser where where it changes the phase. from condenser refrigerant goes to evaporator through expansion device.
What are the wiring instructions for a condenser on a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan?
I have never heard of any wiring to a condenser on any car. The condenser carries the refrigerant in an air conditioner system.
Kia Sedona air conditioner blowing hotair?
There are a multitude of reasons why this could be. Low refrigerant, too much refrigerant and/or PAG, blockage in the system, bad orifice, bad accumulator or receiver-drier (which you have depends on what type of AC system you have), blockage or damage to the condenser fins, faulty low pressure switch.. all are possible reasons why.
Why does your 1995 Nissan Pathfiner AC blow hot air?
There exists a wide range of reasons why this could happen. Insufficient refrigerant, excess refrigerant, excess compressor oil, blockage in the system, saturation of the desiccant in the receiver-drier or accumulator (which you have depends on what type of AC system you have), insufficient airflow through the condenser fins due to blockage or damage of the fins, bad pressure switches, contamination in the AC system... if you want to narrow it down, you'll need to have an AC system performance test done.
