Ice on the suction line of a refrigeration or air conditioning system typically indicates that the system is low on refrigerant, causing the evaporator coil to freeze. This can result from a refrigerant leak or inadequate airflow due to a dirty filter or blocked ducts. When the evaporator coil temperature drops too low, moisture in the air condenses and freezes on the cold suction line. It’s essential to address the underlying issue to prevent further system damage and ensure efficient operation.
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
The pressure should be equal to a saturated suction temperature of around 40*F. The pressure would differ depending on which refrigerant is used.
Frost on the suction line of an air conditioning system is typically caused by a combination of low refrigerant levels and low airflow. When the refrigerant level is insufficient, the temperature of the system drops, causing condensation to freeze on the suction line. It can also be exacerbated by restricted airflow, which prevents proper heat exchange and leads to the line becoming too cold.
Low side.
An eductor works by using high-speed fluid flow to create a low-pressure area, which causes suction or a vacuum effect in a fluid system. This low-pressure area draws in fluid or gas from the surrounding environment, allowing the eductor to effectively move and mix fluids within the system.

Common causes of high suction pressure in a refrigeration system can include a dirty or blocked evaporator coil, low airflow due to a dirty filter or a malfunctioning blower motor, overcharge of refrigerant, or a faulty expansion valve. It could also be due to issues with the compressor such as overheating or mechanical failure.
Common causes of low pressure in a pool filtration system can include clogged skimmer or pump baskets, dirty or clogged filters, air leaks in the suction lines, or a malfunctioning pump or impeller. Regular maintenance and cleaning of these components can help resolve low pressure issues.
When the ship is at the port, the water is shallow therefore we use high seawater suction. If the low seawater suction was used instead, impurities such as sand would be sucked into the system..
At very low suction pressure, the suction valves of reciprocating compressor will not work and there will be no gas in the cylinder during compression stroke, resulting some damage to the suction valves. If low suction pressure trip protection is not provided there can be some abnormal damage.
If you are asking why the low side is high and the high side is low that would indicate that you have a restriction in the a/c system...........
