What is a liquid line in HVAC?
LIQUID LINE – Pipe or hose connecting condenser to expansion valve. LOW SIDE – That portion of system from orifice in expansion valve through evaporator line or lines through compressor service valve to compressor reed valve. Also called suction side. out of a refrigeration system and stores it in a container.Click to see full answer….

Accordingly, is the liquid line the high side?The high side, or discharge line, will be the line connected to the compressor from the bottom or lower position. It will not be wrapped in insulation and will be warm to the touch. This is where freon exits the compressor as a liquid.Similarly, where is the liquid line located? The discharge line is between the compressor and the condenser. The liquid line is between the condenser and the metering device. Similarly one may ask, should the liquid line be cold? When the system is operating, the large insulated suction line should be cold to the touch and sweating at any point where there is no insulation. The smaller uninsulated liquid line should be warm to the touch after the system has been operating for 10 or 15 minutes.How hot should Liquid line be?The liquid line temperature is relevant to the outdoor air temperature. On a 90° day the liquid line may be 100° if operating properly. Your hand temperature is about 98°.
