Is suction pressure another word for evaporator saturation pressure?
Yes
How do you measure fre-on?
On smaller residential air conditioners the manufacturer publishes a charging chart that has the outside air temperature and the corresponding suction and liquid pressure measured by a refrigeration manifold set, gauges. If the chart is not available, you can estimate by measuring the suction pressure and then using a pressure temperature chart for your refrigerant and trying to maintain a 35 degree to 40 degree temperature at the condensing unit or compressor. The other measurement on larger units is the subcooling measurement, measure the actual liquid line temperature and compare the liquid pressure using a pressure temperature chart and also checking for bubbles in the liquid line sight glass. On larger systems after the subcooling has been checked then the superheat has to be checked and the thermostatic expansion valve adjusted if necessary. To check the superheat, measure the suction pressure, convert to a temperature and then measure the actual suction line temperature. The difference is the superheat, should be 6 to 20 degrees depending on the system.
Does an overcharge of refrigerant affect suction pressure?
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
How does rubber suction pads stick on the walls?
Using suction.
Would a suction cup work in a vacuum?
No, a suction cup works by forcing air out of the space between it and the surface it's on. No air = no suction.

why must refrigerant in the suction line be slightly warmer than the saturation temperture
How do you determine what suction pressure should be in R22 air conditioning compressors suction line?
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.
How do you mesure superheat?
Superheat is measured by calculating the temperature of the refrigerant vapor above its saturation temperature at a given pressure. This is done using a pressure-temperature chart for the specific refrigerant being used. The difference between the actual vapor temperature and the saturation temperature at that pressure is the superheat.
Which port do i Add refrigerant to dodge Dakota?
To add refrigerant to a Dodge Dakota find the suction hose of the A/C system. On the suction hose locate the port to add more refrigerant to the system.
To maintain 40 degree evaporator coil temperature what is the suction pressure?
It depends on the refrigerant you are using, for R-22 it's 72 psi
What is the property of refrigerant 404A?
what is suction pressure of r407a
Is suction pressure another word for evaporator saturation pressure?
Yes
Refrigerant entering a compressor of a refigerant system is?
Suction gas
Does refrigerant enter the compressor as a low temperature low pressure gas?
Yes. The basic components of the refrigeration system are the refrigerant, compressor, condenser and receiver, expansion device and the evaporator. One cycle: Refrigerant travels to Compressor (A) to Condenser (B) to Expansion device (C) to evaporator (D). The refrigerant gas at low pressure and temperature is drawn into the compressor. The gas is compressed to a higher pressure, which causes an increase in the temperature. The refrigerant gas at a high pressure and temperature passes to the condenser (point B), where it is cooled (the refrigerant gives up its latent heat) and then condenses to a liquid. The high pressure, low temperature liquid is collected in the receiver. The high pressure liquid is routed through an expansion valve (point C), where it undergoes an abrupt reduction in pressure. That pressure reduction causes part of the liquid to immediately vaporize or flash. The vapor and remaining liquid are cooled to the saturation temperature (boiling point) of the liquid at the reduced pressure. At this point most of the refrigerant is a liquid. The boiling point of the liquid is low, due to the low pressure. When the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator (point D), it absorbs heat from the process and boils. The refrigerant gas is now at low pressure and temperature, and enters the suction side of the compressor, completing the cycle.
What should the low pressure be on a hvac system?
The pressure should be equal to a saturated suction temperature of around 40*F. The pressure would differ depending on which refrigerant is used.
