To minimize sweating of the air around the pipe. When the air comes in contact with a cool surface, its water vapor condenses!
condensation will form on the pipe giving premature failure
in humid environments you can also get ice which can expand and break anything (stone,wood steel)
An earthing system is a system where circuits are connected by a ground. An insulated return system is how power is transferred to trains.
The proper suction pressure of any air conditioning or refrigeration system is determined by the type of refrigerant used and sometimes the amount of charge. : Suction pressure used is also directly related to the temperature required. : The temperature required in the evaporator relates to the pressure required in the suction line since, the fluid is at saturation in the evaporator. : Knowing the temperature required, use the fluid's saturation tables to find the corresponding pressure required.
The pips in a steam heating system need to be insulated to prevent condensation. Condensation can lead to mold and or freezing of the steam pipes in the winter.
On split system installations, the suction line should be pitched towards the compressor at least Suction line should be insulated for 2 reasons: 1) so it does not drip condensation everywhere it passes through the homes interior space. ie attic, inside walls etc. 2) cool suction gas is what cools the compressor motor during operation, insulating the pipe carrying it helps prevent that gas from picking up heat from the surrounding air ensuring it remains an effective coolant for the motor. The original reply was also correct, an effort to pitch the suction line towards the compressor should be madr wherever possible to aid in oil return.

In practical applications, vapor-compression refrigeration systems are the most commonly used refrigeration systems, and each system employs a compressor. In a basic vapor compression refrigeration cycle as shown in Figure 3.28, four major thermal processes take place as follows: • evaporation, • compression, • condensation, and • expansion.
He invented the ammonia vapor-compression system used in refrigeration.
air contains moisture & suction line is very cold both in contact moisture turns into ice. just a joke
1.It can enters to the compressor through suction line and can damages the parts of the compressor.2.it can carry out
When you plot a system on a mollier diagram it the point between the pressure drop and the bottom of the compression line, measured in BTU/LB. Also known as the Net Refrigeration Effect.
In a simple system with a fixed orfice expansion device for example, an overcharge will increase suction and head pressure. Compressor amps will also increase. Overall refrigeration capacity will be reduced. lc
The sub-cooling or under-cooling in the saturated liquid line increases the refrigeration effect or cooling effect, thus the COP of VCR system increases.
The generator in a vapor absorption system for a refrigerator consists of all of the components that make the refrigerator work. The system allows for compression, condensation, evaporation, and expansion.
The refrigeration system used in air conditioners with rotary compressor, the discharged gas is entered firstly into the doom of the compressor, while the system used with reciprocating and other compressors, it is admitted into the discharge tube. and are suction cooled. Why in rotary systems, the discharge refrigerant directly admit into the doom first.
