What causes high head pressure and normal suction pressure in a air conditioner?

Is the suction line the high side?

No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.


How does suction work?

Suction works by creating a vacuum that causes air pressure to decrease within a closed space. This decrease in pressure causes the surrounding air or fluid to push into the lower pressure area, pulling objects towards it. This phenomenon is commonly used in devices like vacuum cleaners and suction cups.


What happening when you are overcharging an air conditioning with freon?

discharge pressure is high, suction pressure is high superheat is low and subcooling is high.


What is vapour binding?

when pressure on the suction side of the pump drop below the vapour pressure of the liquid, vapour forms. It's caused because of insufficient suction head, high suction lift, excessive friction head, or high liquid temperature.


A refrigerator with a freon restriction would have what symptoms?

High head pressure; low suction pressure; overheated compressor


How does a suction cup hold objects in place?

A suction Cup will trap air behind itself which causes a partial vacuum. The negative pressure of trapped air or water causes it to keep in contact with the surface it is against.

Where is suction and discharge s?

Answer: The terms suction and discharge are the terms refer to hydraulics. In hydraulics if the the liquid has to be lifted or pumped to the usage area the hydraulic pump will be used . This pump will have to functions that is first suction to lift the fluid and the discharge or delivery . The familiar words in pair are lift and discharge; suction and discharge. The specification of pump for these terms are suction head and discharge head.AnswerThe suction pressure refers to the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor. The suction pressure is a critical variable in ensuring the accuracy of the refrigerant charge, along with the tepmerature of that line as well. The "superheat", or heat added to the vapor in that line can be monitored in this manner.You have not mention which suction pressure... Actually Where ever the suction is presented that pressure is called suction pressure.... and suction pressure in practical cases normally always less that atmospheric pressure and in case of delivery pressure it is oppositeSaying that suction pressure is " the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor " is not accurate.Simply , the suction pressure of a pump is the absolute pressure of a fluid , measured at the inlet of the pump ( in your answer , the pump is the compressor , and the fluid is whatever refrigerant. )The discharge pressure , is the absolute pressure of the liquid measured at the outlet of the pump.Obviously, the discharge pressure is usually bigger than suction pressure.


Is suction pressure is high side or low side of refrigeration system?

Low side.


What causes the suction of a vacuum?

The suction of a vacuum is caused by a difference in air pressure inside the vacuum cleaner compared to outside. A motor creates a low-pressure zone inside the vacuum, causing the higher-pressure air outside to push debris into the vacuum cleaner.


What would cause the low side on an air conditioner to be too high?

When you say too high, just how high is it and what is the high side pressure. It is not uncommon for the suction pressure(lowside) to get up to 80psi on a very hot day. You cannot determine what is wrong unless more information is provided. It could be that your system is overcharged, but without the high side pressure and the temp of the suction line it is hard to give the right answer.
