Proper pipe sizing is in the installation manual. The piping should be one continuous run of the same size.
No, an accumulator and a condenser are not the same. An accumulator is a device that stores energy, often in hydraulic systems, to maintain pressure or provide a reserve of fluid. In contrast, a condenser is used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to convert refrigerant gas into liquid by dissipating heat. Each serves distinct functions in their respective systems.
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.
false
Typically resistance rises with temperature.
No, the suction valves and discharge valves on a reciprocating compressor should not be open at the same time. If both valves are open simultaneously, it can lead to inefficient operation, potential damage to the compressor, and a loss of pressure. The design of the compressor relies on the sequential opening and closing of these valves to ensure proper gas flow and compression cycles.
It is common practice to specify the pump suction line one size larger than the pump discharge line in order to increase the Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHA) to the pump. A smaller suction line the same pipe size as the discharge line would result in more pressure drop in the suction line and reduce the amount of head available to the suction side of the pump. This in turn would result in an operating point closer to cavitation of the pump.
You dont say if the the contractor pulls in ? IDoes it? Three AC servicemen could not repair this same problem last year. These were very experienced servicemen and they had the same problem you have here - if you are stating it correctly. The condenser contactor coil - also called a relay coil is supplied by a 24 volt supply via the thermostat in simple systems. It tells the relay out in the condenser unit to connect the 220 volt feed line to the compressor. That sugger is going to come on. Your facts are wrong or your 220 volts is not on the relay input.
If you look through the grill on the front of the truck you will see it. It looks just like the radiator and it is bolted to the front of the radiator. It is about the same size as the radiator.
actually, the results should be same (if area is =) as they both are doing the same force, but are placed differently.
No, suction pressure refers to the pressure of refrigerant gas leaving the evaporator and entering the compressor, while evaporator saturation pressure refers to the pressure at which a refrigerant changes from a liquid to a vapor in the evaporator coil. They are related but not the same.
I'm not certain but I THINK it's in the coupling at the condenser coil. That's the location on a 92 Silverado and I think most of the AC is the same on the 96.
No.
I think you mean a split system ac unit, not a split cycle.You will need a set of refrigeration gauges and a means of closing whatever types of service valves are on your unit. You will also need to know what order in which to close those valves and what the readings on the gauges are telling you. The pumpdown procedure only takes a couple of minutes, so call a tech for the 1 hour service call. Then call him back to do a proper restart. You cannot Safely do it.The process of doing this may sound complicated but it is easy for a technician.There are two valves at the condenser, one valve for the suction line and one valve for the liquid line. The HVAC technician closes the liquid line valve and turns the air conditioning on. The compressor pumps all the refrigerant into the condenser coils. The HVAC technician watches his gages carefully and when the pressure gets to zero on the gages he quickly closes the suction line valve to trap the refrigerant in the condenser and then turn the compressor off. This saves using refrigerant unnessarily because the same refrigerant in the system can be reused for the new evaporator coil or air handler. After the new evaporator coil or air handler is installed the HVAC technician evacuates the new part of the system and when completed with the evacuation process opens the valves to allow the refrigerant into the new part of the system. To make sure the charge is correct he uses his gages and the superheat method or subcooling to ensure the proper amount of refrigerant is in the system.
in a typical residential split system, the condenser fan is cooling the compressor so i wouldn't expect the same useful life from the compressor if it were not being cooled. you could set up its own fan i suppose. you can separate the evaporator and condenser about 25' (50' total line circuit) off the shelf. farther than that, the manufacturer usually has a larger line set (diameters) to keep the same performance rating. you also get into oil drainback issues, i.e. you have to pay attention in sloping the lineset to drain oil back to the compressor.
Using an R-22 evaporator coil with an R-410A condenser is not recommended due to differences in operating pressures and refrigerant properties. R-410A operates at significantly higher pressures than R-22, which can lead to potential damage to the R-22 coil and system inefficiency. Additionally, the lubricant used in R-410A systems is different from that in R-22, which could cause compatibility issues. It’s best to use components designed for the same refrigerant type to ensure safety and optimal performance.
no
is helical coil and coil spring are the same
