Yes refrigerant temperatures and pressures in the cooling mode of a heat pump is the same. They are both in the suction side and the discharge side of the system.
The most important part of a heating, cooling, or refrigeration system is the compressor. It circulates refrigerant throughout the system, facilitating heat exchange by compressing and moving the refrigerant between the evaporator and condenser. Its efficiency directly affects the system's performance, energy consumption, and overall effectiveness in maintaining desired temperatures. A well-functioning compressor is crucial for optimal system operation and longevity.
If the refrigerant is not at an optimal level (either too low or too high), the system will have to work harder to produce the same amount of cooling. This results in more electricity being used to get the same amount of cooling.

Heating, ventilating, air conditioning systems (HVAC) most often use a refrigerant for cooling and a furnace or heat pump for heating. Both heating and cooling are directed through the same ventilation network.
Extreme pressures and temperatures are typically needed to isolate solid hydrogen. These conditions can be achieved using a diamond anvil cell to apply high pressures or through cooling hydrogen to temperatures close to absolute zero.
The third answer is correct.
Cooling in a direct expansion vapor compression refrigeration system occurs when the refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, it changes from a liquid to a vapor, resulting in a cooling effect. This process is driven by the pressure drop across the evaporator, allowing the refrigerant to evaporate at low temperatures. The vapor is then compressed by the compressor, continuing the refrigeration cycle.
Refrigerant absorbs heat in a cooling system by circulating through the system and changing from a liquid to a gas state. As it evaporates, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the surrounding air or water, cooling the area.
Refrigerant are used in refrigerator for cooling and dehumidifying indoor air.
Usually there is no immediate result except for reduction in cooling proficiency. If the system is overcharged it will not cool properly, of course, this depends on how much over charging you are talking about. As more refrigerant is added the system's pressures will increase. At some point these pressures will become excessive and this will result in damage to the system usually over time. An A/C system is designed to run on a specific amount of refrigerant. Any deviation from this will cause less cooling ability.
In an air conditioning unit, a thermal expansion valve (TXV) operates under three primary pressures: the high-side pressure, which is the refrigerant pressure after it leaves the condenser; the low-side pressure, which is the refrigerant pressure before it enters the evaporator; and the bulb pressure, which is created by the refrigerant in the sensing bulb attached to the TXV. The TXV modulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator based on the bulb pressure, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency by maintaining the correct superheat level.
Condenser pressure is often less than atmospheric pressure to facilitate the condensation of refrigerant vapor into liquid at lower temperatures. This is achieved using a vacuum system or by employing cooling methods that lower the saturation temperature of the refrigerant. Lowering the pressure reduces the boiling point of the refrigerant, making it easier to condense and improving the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle. Additionally, operating at lower pressures can help prevent the formation of vapor bubbles in the condenser, ensuring efficient heat exchange.
Refrigerant compaticilty is about suiting the refrigerant to your refrigerant system. Every cooling system has refrigerant in it which depends on the type of system you use. If the refrigerant not matches with your system, it wont work. This is refrigerant compatibility.
For temperatures as low as -80 degrees celsius, a common refrigerant used is liquid nitrogen or a mixture of liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide. These refrigerants have low boiling points which allow them to maintain such extremely cold temperatures.
Water cannot be used as a refrigerant in traditional refrigeration systems due to its freezing point and the limited range of temperatures over which it can work effectively. Water is typically used as a heat transfer medium in cooling towers and heat exchangers, but not as a refrigerant in the same way as chemicals like Freon or ammonia.
No air release. there is a high presure and a low pressure valve, these are used for filling refrigerant, checking pressures, and evacuating the system.
