Why is the suction line of a pump larger than the discharge line?

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.


Comparration diameter size of suction and discharge?

The diameter of the discharge line leaving the ac compressor would be smaller than the suction line, because the compressed gas in the discharge line is more dense.


How would you prove a bad suction reed in a compressor?

To prove a bad suction reed in a compressor, you would need to do a pressure test. You can isolate the compressor and check for pressure drop in the suction line. A significant pressure drop would indicate a faulty suction reed. Additionally, you can inspect the reed valve for visible signs of damage or wear.


Would a suction cup work in a vacuum?

Yes, a suction cup would not work in a vacuum because there is no air pressure to create the necessary force for the suction cup to adhere to a surface. Without air pressure to push against, the suction cup cannot create the vacuum required to stay attached.


A refrigerator with a freon restriction would have what symptoms?

High head pressure; low suction pressure; overheated compressor


Is installation of pressure gauge mandatory after a centrifugal pump?

It is certainly not mandatory unless the system it is designed around calls for them, but they certainly are handy and a welcomed if you ever have to troubleshoot the system. I never design a pumping system without having suction and discharge gauges. Of course, on a submersible pump, you would only have a discharge gauge.


What is the SI unit for suction?

I guess that would be measured in units of pressure: Pascal = Newton/meter2.


What symptoms would be indicative of an oil logged condenser?

High discharge pressure and low liquid line pressure


What should the low pressure be on a hvac system?

The pressure should be equal to a saturated suction temperature of around 40*F. The pressure would differ depending on which refrigerant is used.


Which port on AC compressor is low pressure 1999 Chevy blazer?

They may be marked "S" and "D" for suction (low side) and discharge (high side). A simpler way would be to look at the lines going into and out of the AC.... the smaller line will be the high pressure line, while the larger line will be the low pressure line. The low pressure line will connect at the compressor inlet, and the high pressure line will connect at the compressor outlet.


Why suction of blower is up side and discharge lower side?

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...........


What would the pump pressure be for the master stream flowing a fog nozzle from the top of the apparatus?

Depending in the hydrant suction, pump pressure should be about 80-100 psi
