A suction line filter is added to the system for a different purpose than the liquid line dryer. A suction line filter is added:A : to keep acidic oil in the system from working its way back into the new compressor.B because the suction makes the acid removal better.C because the suction line is cold and full of acid.D all of the above.
The type we used to use on the job, had filter material inside of it which would flow down the suction line if you reversed it. It was made to only filter in the specified flow direction.
the low pressure{or suction}line is located under the air filter housing
3 to 4 depending on the type of machinery. There is a suction filter, return filter, and a pressure filter mainly, but in some cases, off-line fiter can be incorporated
The suction line is the big one. This line should be cold when the unit is on. The small line is the liquid line.
The suction line will be the larger line going into the compressor.
I just had change my sand filter and it seem working fine, but it doesn't have enough suction at the skimmers, why it does this?
Suction superheat is the heat added to the refrigerant above that required to change its state from liquid to vapour (as happens in the evaporator). This heat is added both in the evaporator, in the suction line and (where applicable) in the suction accumulator.Discharge superheat is suction superheat plus heat of compression, and must be removed in the condenser before condensation, the change of state from vapour to liquid, can occur.The HVAC Veteran
A suction line is usually cold to the touch.
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
The larger line is suction. The larger line is the suction side which should be on the right side of the compressor......
