What determines the temperature at which a refrigerant vaporizes?

The pressure and the specific refrigerant properties determine the temperature at which a refrigerant vaporizes. As pressure increases, the boiling point of the refrigerant also increases. Different refrigerants have different boiling points at different pressures.


Examples of air being compressed?

In a bicycle pump, air is compressed when the handle is pumped, increasing the pressure inside the tire. Air is compressed in a scuba diving tank when it is filled with high-pressure air from a compressor. In a refrigerator or air conditioning system, a compressor compresses the refrigerant gas to increase its pressure and temperature.


Where does the refrigerant go after it leaves the purge unit of a low pressure centrifugal systems?

After leaving the purge unit in a low-pressure centrifugal system, the refrigerant typically flows back into the evaporator to continue the cooling cycle. This helps maintain the balance of refrigerant throughout the system and ensures efficient operation.


What refrigerant has the lowest boiling temperatures at atmospheric pressure?

R-502 has thelowestboiling temperature atatmosphericpressure. It can be boiled as low as -50 deg F before the boiling pressure goes into a vacuum.


What is the boiling point of r-410A refigerant?

The term "Freon" is a trademark of the DuPont Chemical Company. It applies to a fairly large collection of compounds classified as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs. The boiling points of the various Freons range from a low of -40.8 deg. C for the compound generally known as R-22 to a high of 91.5 deg. C for R-112. R-22 was once the predominant refrigerant for home refrigeration and residential central air conditioning. R-12, which was once the universal automotive air conditioning refrigerant, boils at -29.8 deg. C. Its replacement since 1994, R-134a, which is NOT a CFC and NOT a member of the Freon group, boils at -26.3 deg. C.

What component separates the high pressure and low pressure sides of the air conditioning system and acts as a metering valve to control the flow of refrigerant?

That sounds like the expansion valve.


How do you change high temperature refrigerant and high pressure refrigerant in to low temperature refrigerant and low pressure refrigerant?

You cool it and run it through a metering devise.


What is a TXV valve?

Thermal Expansion Valve is a type of metering device which is one of the separation points between the high and low pressure sides of an air conditioning system (the other being the compressor). It depressurises the liquid refrigerant which passes through it, ensuring that low pressure liquid refrigerant is passed on to the evaporator.


When the refrigerant passes through the metering device some of it starts to flash from a liquid to a gas because?

the pressure of the refrigerant drops significantly as it passes through the metering device. This sudden pressure drop causes the refrigerant to expand and vaporize, leading to the flash gas phenomenon. This phase change from liquid to gas helps lower the temperature of the refrigerant as it enters the evaporator coil.


What is an orifice tube?

It's a type of metering device, and a pretty simple one. One side is narrower. This widening decreases the pressure of the refrigerant passing through it, effectively being one of the points where the low pressure (vacuum) side separates from the high pressure (discharge) side (the other point is the compressor).

How add AC refrigerant to your 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport?

You can had air conditioning refrigerant to your 2000 Mitsubishi Montero through the low pressure port. You can find the low pressure port on top of the air conditioning compressor. You will need to connect your refrigerant bottle to the low pressure port.


Where do you add AC refrigerant on a 2000 F150 Truck?

You can add air conditioning refrigerant to your 2000 F1 50 pickup truck air conditioning system through the low pressure port. The low pressure port will be on the top of the air conditioning compressor.

How do you know where the high end or low end of your cars ac unit is?

The high pressure (discharge) side starts at the compressor outlet and ends at the metering device inlet. This side will have the smaller refrigerant lines. The low pressure (vacuum) side begins at the metering device outlet and ends at the compressor inlet. This side will have the larger refrigerant lines.


Is low pressure large pipe on central air condition?

Low pressure pipes are typically found in the refrigerant system of central air conditioning units. These pipes carry refrigerant in its low pressure state from the evaporator coil to the compressor for the refrigeration cycle. Therefore, a large pipe in a central air conditioning system could indeed be a low pressure refrigerant pipe.


What is the function of the compressor in air conditioning?

It compresses air... No, that's incorrect, actually. It compresses refrigerant from a low pressure vapor to a high pressure vapor. It also creates the pressure which circulates the refrigerant through the system.
