A refrigeration circuit is provided with a quench line connecting the liquid line and the suction line and containing a QEV. The QEV is controlled responsive to the superheat of the refrigerant supplied to the compressor. By injecting liquid refrigerant downstream of the suction modulation valve and the sensor for the TXV, the system can be operated at low capacity without overheating the compressor oil.
1) Most hermetic compressors are cooled by the suction gas. If there is an undercharge, there will be an undercooling (or overheating) of the motor. 2) Ambient air is used to cool the air in the fan department.
...It will be what ever your suction pressure is.

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.
Suction and discharge superheat are crucial for the efficient operation of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Suction superheat ensures that refrigerant vapor entering the compressor is completely vaporized, preventing liquid slugging and potential compressor damage. Discharge superheat, on the other hand, helps to ensure that the refrigerant leaving the compressor is adequately heated, which protects the compressor from overheating and improves overall system efficiency. Proper management of both superheat levels enhances system performance, reliability, and longevity.
the compressor capacity will increase
Suction superheat refers to the condition in a refrigeration or air conditioning system where the refrigerant gas is heated above its saturation temperature before it enters the compressor. This superheating is essential for preventing liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor, which could cause damage or inefficiency. It ensures that the refrigerant is fully vaporized, improving system performance and efficiency. Proper suction superheat levels help maintain optimal operation and reliability of the cooling system.
Suction superheat is the heat added to the refrigerant above that required to change its state from liquid to vapour (as happens in the evaporator). This heat is added both in the evaporator, in the suction line and (where applicable) in the suction accumulator.Discharge superheat is suction superheat plus heat of compression, and must be removed in the condenser before condensation, the change of state from vapour to liquid, can occur.The HVAC Veteran
take your gages and put them on the beginning of the evaporator (afte metering device or txv) and look at saturation temp then get your temp at the suction line (before the compressor)
As the outdoor ambient temperature increases, the compressor superheat typically decreases. This occurs because higher ambient temperatures lead to increased suction gas temperatures, which result in a lower temperature difference between the refrigerant in the evaporator and the compressor. Consequently, with more heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator, the superheat level is reduced, allowing for more efficient operation of the system.

The larger line is suction. The larger line is the suction side which should be on the right side of the compressor......
air flow and liquid change of state
The suction differential pressure (DP) of a rotary screw compressor refers to the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the compressor's suction side. It is an important parameter that indicates the efficiency of the compressor's operation and helps assess the performance of the system. A higher suction DP can indicate potential issues, such as increased resistance or blockages in the intake line, which can affect the compressor's capacity and energy consumption. Monitoring suction DP helps in optimizing the compressor's performance and ensuring reliable operation.
