Refrigerant enters a compressor as a low pressure vapor?
Yea
How the compressor working?
Refrigerant enters the compressor inlet as a low pressure vapor. The compressor increases the pressure, and discharges it as a high pressure vapor.
Why is your compressor icy?
Probably the system is overcharged - too much refrigerant. Liquid refrigerant is boiling off as it enters the compressor inlet making it very cold. This can harm the compressor since liquid refrigerant is not compressable. It can also happen if the evaporator coil is blocked or plugged up with debris (on the air side).
What is would happen if liquid refrigerant were to enter the compressor cylinder while it was running?
If liquid refrigerant enters the compressor cylinder while it's running, it can damage the compressor. Liquid refrigerant is not compressible like gas, causing hydraulic lock and putting excessive strain on the compressor motor. This can lead to mechanical failure and decreased efficiency of the refrigeration system.
Why must refrigerant in the suction line be slightly warmer then the saturation temperature?
The refrigerant in the suction line needs to be slightly warmer than the saturation temperature to prevent any liquid refrigerant from returning to the compressor, which could damage it. This temperature difference ensures that only vapor refrigerant enters the compressor for proper and efficient operation.
Which side of the compressor would normally charge?
The side of the compressor that is normally charged is the low-pressure side. This is where the refrigerant enters the compressor after absorbing heat from the environment. Charging typically involves adding refrigerant to the system through the low-pressure service port, allowing the compressor to efficiently circulate the refrigerant throughout the system. Proper charging ensures optimal performance and efficiency of the HVAC system.
How do you add refrigerant to compressor?
Adding refrigerant to a compressor is a precise job to take on, and it is important to know exactly what you are doing. Attaching the Freon kit, turn on the compressor, and adding the refrigerant are the steps to adding refrigerant to a compressor.
Where to look for a leak in a air condition system in a 1993 ford ranger?

What type of compressor is perferred with refrigerant R-113?
Centrifugal Compressor and Rotary Compressor is preferred with refrigerant R-113.
What is liquid slugging of the compressor?
Liquid slugging of a compressor occurs when liquid refrigerant enters the compressor cylinders instead of vapor. This can lead to mechanical damage, decreased efficiency, and potential system failure. Measures to prevent liquid slugging include proper system design, control of liquid refrigerant flow, and maintaining proper superheat.
What happens when refrigerant enters the condenser?

What is the state of the refrigerant as it enters the expansion device?
The refrigerant is in a liquid state as it enters the expansion device.
