Where does flash gas get created?
As the refrigerant exits the metering device
Define flash gas and how it applies to the net refrigeration effects of the refrigeration cycle?
FLASH GAS - Instantaneous evaporation of some liquid refrigerant at the metering device due to pressure drop which cools the remaining liquid refrigerant to desired evaporation temperature.This flash gas cannot absorb any heat having a negative effect on the net refrigeration cycle

Does refrigerant enter evaporator as a liquid in a direct expansion evaporator?
It will, in basically all cases be a mixture of liquid and vapor, which means the refrigerant is saturated but with a few bubbles entering the evaporator. In a properly operating system though entering the metering device should be solid liquid and some sub-cooling (sub-cooled means cooler then saturation and therefore= no vapor) but then through the metering device (TXV, cap tube, orifice) some of the liquid will boil off, which is called flash gas, in order to cool the refrigerant down as saturated temperature goes down (the pressure to boiling point relation, as pressure is reduced boiling point is lowed). The amount of flash gas is directly related to the specific heat of the refigernt (BTUs/lb), the number of degrees you are cooling the refrigerant (eg. 95 to 45), and the latent heat of vaporization (BTUs/lb for change of state. liquid to vapor)
What is the function of Flash drum in a gas sweeting plant?
A vapor-liquid separator
Describe flash gas and tell how affects system capacity?
Flash gas is a refrigerant in gas form produced spontaneously when the condensed liquid is subjected to boiling. Flash gas reduces the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle, and causes an increase in super heating at the evaporator.
What device causes the refrigerant to undergo transition from a liquid to gas?
evaporator
How do you calculate the subcooling in HVAC?
To calculate subcooling in HVAC, you need to measure the liquid line temperature and pressure. First, convert the pressure into temperature using a temperature-pressure chart. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the converted temperature to calculate the subcooling. Subcooling is important to ensure the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser is cooler than its saturation point to prevent the formation of flash gas in the metering device.
How can identify the presence of flash gas in the liquid line?
You can identify the presence of flash gas in the liquid line of a refrigerator by detecting the presence of bubbles on the sight glass. There will also be some vapour present. When this occurs, the refrigerator will not be able to work efficiently.
