The pressure will rise and the oil can thin.The purpose of the out door section of a residential a/c system is to condense gas into a liquid my means of cooling the gas.

Why would a 2001 Dodge Ram blow cold air for 2 or 3 min then blow hot air?

low refrigerant. stored liquid refrigerant boils away after 2-3 minutes, suction pressure drops, compressor shuts off on low suction pressure.


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.


You have a subaru legacy 1991 the ac stopped working the compressor is engaging on and of constantly did put cooling in it but still dus not work Have anybody any idea where to look for the problem?

If you added refrigerant, was the compressor running better before or after you added refrigerant? Compressor cycling on-off can be caused by defective low pressure switch (very rare on Subarus), or low on refrigerant. Best to test with a good refrigerant gauge-- resting pressure (system off) should be between 45 and 80 psi (higher pressure with higher temperature) on the suction side. Make CERTAIN you attach the gauge to the suction side (the side with the larger diameter hose). When the compressor cycles on, if suction pressure drops below approx 23-29 psi, the low pressure switch will shut off compressor to prevent damage. If low suction pressure, cure is to add refrigerant, little at a time. NOTE: Refrigerant is under high pressure, and is very dangerous. If you are not trained to handle refrigerant, suggest take this problem to a shop to check out.

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.


Does an overcharge of refrigerant affect suction pressure?

In a simple system with a fixed orfice expansion device for example, an overcharge will increase suction and head pressure. Compressor amps will also increase. Overall refrigeration capacity will be reduced. lc
