🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between suction pressure, suction line temperature, and refrigerant condition (liquid vs. vapor)** • Effects of liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor (floodback) vs. presence of non‑condensable gases • How restrictions (like clogged components) usually affect suction pressure and temperature

💭 Think About

• Think about what the compressor "sees" if liquid instead of superheated vapor is coming back: what happens to suction temperature and what usually happens to suction pressure? • If air or non‑condensables are in the system, which side (high or low) is most affected, and would that make suction pressure slightly high and suction temperature abnormally low at the same time? • When a line or sub cooler is clogged, does suction pressure normally increase or decrease? What happens to the mass flow of refrigerant returning to the compressor?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the symptom pair (high suction pressure + low suction temperature) to the refrigerant state at the compressor inlet (superheated vapor vs. saturated vs. liquid mix). • Eliminate any options where a fault would more likely cause low suction pressure with high superheat, not the opposite. • Verify which fault could allow excess liquid refrigerant to reach the compressor instead of fully evaporating in the coil.
