In a 2001 Infiniti Q, liquid refrigerant is primarily used in the vehicle's air conditioning system to absorb heat from the cabin and provide cooling. The refrigerant circulates through the system, changing from liquid to gas and back, which facilitates the heat exchange process. This allows the air conditioning system to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle, especially during hot weather. Proper levels and maintenance of the refrigerant are essential for efficient system performance.
you can buy the right refrigerant over the counter at checker auto or auto zone, the correct refrigerant is 134a

Liquid receivers are used to store the liquid refrigerant after it leaves the condenser. It should be located below the condenser to enable natural flow. The receiver may be constructed either vertically or horizontally and should have sufficient capacity to hold the entire system's refrigerant charge. The design should be such that only liquid refrigerant leaves the receiver and enters the liquid line. by vishal mahnn
The liquid line receiver is a vessel used in refrigeration systems to store and separate liquid refrigerant from the rest of the system. It helps ensure that only liquid refrigerant enters the expansion valve, thus improving system efficiency. When the system is running, liquid refrigerant flows into the receiver and is stored until needed by the evaporator.
Thermostatic expansion valve consists of a thermal sensing element that regulates the flow of liquid refrigerant into an evaporator based on the temperature of the refrigerant returning from the evaporator.
Automotive refrigerant is typically charged as a gas to ensure proper and efficient distribution throughout the air conditioning system. Charging as a gas allows for better control of the amount of refrigerant being used and helps prevent liquid slugging, which can damage the compressor.
For temperatures as low as -80 degrees celsius, a common refrigerant used is liquid nitrogen or a mixture of liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide. These refrigerants have low boiling points which allow them to maintain such extremely cold temperatures.
Disposable refrigerant containers are only used for virgin refrigerant.
A condenser in a refrigeration system is used to release heat from the refrigerant gas, causing it to condense into a liquid form. This process helps to cool down the refrigerant and prepare it for the next stage of the cooling cycle.
A liquid line drier used in heat pumps is typically a filter drier that contains desiccants to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant flowing through the system. It helps protect the system components from damage and improves the efficiency of the heat pump by ensuring proper refrigerant flow.
Freon is a brand name. It uses R134a refrigerant.
