What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rises?
the head pressure will rise
What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rise?
the head pressure will rise
What will cause the suction pressure to rise?
head pressure
What is the maximum suction head for pumping water?
I think, that's refer from your system. If you manipulate the surface pressure of the water, you will get a big value of water suction head with higher surface pressure. CMIIW....
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.
Why would your air conditioner have a normal to slightly high suction pressure and low head pressure with a 3 to 5 degree temperature difference?
What you're describing sounds suspiciously like a worn compressor.
Where is the water pressure regulator that is controlling head pressure be installed?
On the discharge line with the relief of the pressure control back to suction
A refrigerator with a freon restriction would have what symptoms?
High head pressure; low suction pressure; overheated compressor
What is suction and discharge head?
These are terms used by refrigeration and air conditioning techs. The suction is refrigerant returning to the compressor from the evaporator, or the low side. The high side is the discharge or head pressure, where high temperature high pressure gas leaves the compressor to flow into the condenser. These systems should only be worked on by licensed and experienced techs.
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.
How do you maintain net positive suction head of a pump?
first of all the term NPSH should be clear.It is pressure which should be available at the eye of the pump impeller,so as to avoid vaporisation of liquid. Second which arises ,how this liquid will vaporise?Ans-if a vapour pressure of a liquid falls at constt temperature or temperature of liquid is raised at constt pressure it vaporises.In case of pump it's mostly the first case. Now,how to manitain NPSH. NPSHa> NPSHr (always) where NPSHa= available NPSH NPSHr = Required NPSH NPSH = Hps+Hsl-Hvp-Hfl Hps= pressure acting on the eye due to pressure in the suction drum. Hsl = pressure acting due to height of liquid in the suction line. Hvp= vapour pressure of the liquid Hfl= head loss due to friction losses Thus, to maintain the NPSH, variables in hand are,Hps and Hsl.increase the height of the suction line or increase the pressure of the suction drum.
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
