Which line is the liquid line?
The larger line typically carries a cool gas and is insulated. This is commonly referred to as the suction line, but it is also called the return line or vapor line. The smaller uninsulated line typically carries a warm liquid. It is most often called the liquid line.Click to see full answer. Likewise, people ask,…
The larger line typically carries a cool gas and is insulated. This is commonly referred to as the suction line, but it is also called the return line or vapor line. The smaller uninsulated line typically carries a warm liquid. It is most often called the liquid line.Click to see full answer. Likewise, people ask, what is the liquid line?The liquid line (Hi Side small line). The low side large line is called the suction line. The liquid line when it meets the evaporator coil at the expansion valve, the refrigerant expands from liquid to a gas to make cooling. When it converts back to a gas is when the heat absorption takes place.Likewise, 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. Secondly, 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.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.
