evaporator
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.
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.
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.
R-502 has thelowestboiling temperature atatmosphericpressure. It can be boiled as low as -50 deg F before the boiling pressure goes into a vacuum.
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.
That sounds like the expansion valve.
You cool it and run it through a metering devise.
In a refrigeration system, the metering device regulates the flow of refrigerant from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side. What enters the metering device is typically the high-pressure liquid refrigerant, which then expands and reduces in pressure as it passes through the device. This process prepares the refrigerant for evaporation in the evaporator coil, where it absorbs heat from the surroundings.
In a refrigeration system, the metering device receives high-pressure refrigerant liquid from the condenser. This device regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, lowering its pressure and temperature, which allows it to absorb heat from the surroundings. The refrigerant then evaporates, turning into a gas as it cools the area being conditioned.
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.
A metering device in a refrigeration system, such as a expansion valve or capillary tube, regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. It reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, allowing it to expand and absorb heat from the environment as it evaporates. This process is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of the refrigeration cycle. By accurately controlling the refrigerant flow, the metering device helps optimize cooling performance.
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.
The orifice tube is typically located in the refrigerant line of an automotive air conditioning system, specifically between the condenser and the evaporator. It serves as a metering device, regulating the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. This tube is crucial for controlling the refrigerant's pressure and ensuring efficient cooling within the vehicle's cabin.
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).

Yes, only liquid refrigerant should enter the metering device to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. The metering device is designed to reduce the refrigerant pressure and control its flow into the evaporator, where it absorbs heat. If vapor refrigerant enters the metering device, it can lead to improper cooling, reduced efficiency, and potential damage to the system. Proper refrigerant management is crucial for maintaining the system's reliability and effectiveness.
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.
