Its due to the refrigerant dropping to a temperature that's below freezing(32 degrees at sea level) and the humidity(water) that forms on the suction line freezes caused by several things: shortage of freon, dirty evaporator coil, oversized unit, and dirty filter.

What are the possible causes of freeze up of tubing from expansion valve to suction line?
Low airflow, low refrigerant or restriction
Should the suction line be cold?
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.
Why flat side up reducer is used at pump suction?
To compensate high suction volume during startup of he pump. the reducer area below the pipeline at the suction stores excess volume of fluid.
What vaccums do not lose suction?
Have owned 3 Dyson products and it is true they don't loose suction, but they do clog up. I can't tell you how many times I have had to tear apart one of their products to clear it from a clog.
What is the maximum horizontal distance allowed in suction line of a pump which is above the water level?
The maximum distance will be relative to the efficiency of the pump and the rated flow of the pump vs the size of the suction hose. The more efficient the pump, the more vacuum it can draw, and the larger the suction hose in relation to the flow rating of the pump the farther you can move the pump away from the water. The manufacturer of the pump will have charts that will help you properly size and set up your pump for optimum performance.
How can you tell if you have a freon leak?
Evaporator and suction line(the largest line) will ice up, house will get hot. pressures will be very lo
Why is ice not deposited in a freezer?
I assume you mean the ice build up in some freezers? its because some freezers have whats called a hot gass system or defrost installed in them. A hot gas system is... while the freezer is in its off cycle the controller will open up a valve (usually solinoid valve) in the hot gas pipe/line. this line goes from the discharge line to the suction line usually. There are all different hot gas pipe runs, im going the most common so it is less confusing. There for shuting off the valve in the discharge line (the pipe that leaves the compressor) all warm/hot mass will always move toward a cooler/cold mass. since the suction pipe (bigger pipe entering the compressor) is cold the hot refrigerant will move through the hot gas line (defrosting the refrigerated space) to the suction pipe. usually there is some type of component added further down the suction line to save the compressor from and condensed refrigerant entering the compressor.... hope this helped

AC compressor sweating?
Caused from over charging system. Should have a good sweat up to the compressor on the suction line.

2005 focus ac suction line port location?
The suction port is on top of the suction accumulator, access it from the passenger side wheel well at the front. Need to take off the two lower screws from the inner fender liner, then you will see it. helps to have a hoist or put it up on jack stands. Warren
Do you hook up ice maker to cold or hot water line?
I am not a plumber, but am in the process of installing a water line myself...and all of the research I have done says the water line should be hooked up to the cold water.
Where do the hockey players go on the ice for there position?
In the beginning of the game, the center-man lines up at the middle of the ice (red line), the Left and Right wingers line up on the red line, away from the center men near the boards, and the two defence-men line up on the blue lines, and obviously the goalie covers the net.
What simple machines make up suction cups?
Vacuum cleaners are a good example of suction cups.
What draws liquid for seduction?
I think you might mean for suction. You use a pipette to draw up liquid with suction.
How would you incorporate strawberries into strawberry ice cream?
i would suggest chopping them up and then putting them with the ice cream! :) (Im an ice cream expert!)
How Do pipettes suck up water?
By suction force
