The high side of an a/c is as follows: The compressor ,the capillary( the capillary is a very narrow tube with an inside diameter about the size of a pencil point. )The cap tube is factory sweated to the return line from the evaporator to cool it down. As soon as this cap tube reaches the coil of the evaporator, the tube is much larger in diameter. This causes the freon to expand and it changes from a gas to a liquid. It is very cold and starts to attract warmth from the room. You will notice a small frost line which will rapidly melt because the freon used in an a/c boils at a lower temperature than the freon in a refrigerator. This sweating will continue to cover more of the evaporator, which is the low side because the pressure drops. When it reaches the evaporator, as the freon leaves the evaporator, it enters the suction line. It then goes back to the compressor where it is pressurized back through the cap tube again. This cycle is repeated again and again. So on the high side,, you have the compressor and the capillary tube and on the low side the evaporator and the suction line. It sounds complicated, but is really a very simple continuous cycle at a very fast speed.

What does high-side and low-side mean with respect to car AC's?
High side and low side refer to the pressure in the ac system. Ie The high side is the high pressure line and low side is the low pressure line.

How often to add freon to ac unit?
your freon is measured with gauges hooked up to low side of air condition unit the low side is the cold side high side is the condenser side WATCHOUT high pressure every unit has atag on it and let you know how many ounces to be put in low charge is bad but over charge is also bad
Which line to recharge auto air conditioner?
The low side ac port is the line to charge in. the low side has a different size connection from the high side to prevent using the wrong port.
Where is the low side of ac air compressor 1997 Saturn?
low side of a/c is the larger diameter line it the smaller fitting(charge side) vs. high side is your smaller line larger fitting
On a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass ciera air conditioning which side is high and which is low?
low pressure side is the line which runs from the condensor to the compressor.low pressure goes in , high comes out.high side is line going to the cooler mounted on the front of the radiator
