pressure drop in inlet filters and poor maintenance of equipment
The inlet side is the low side - this will have the larger hose. On a Thermal Expansion Valve system, this hose will run from the evaporator outlet to the compressor inlet. On a Fixed Orifice Tube system, this hose will run from the accumulator outlet to the compressor inlet. The outlet side is the high side, and the hose will run from the compressor outlet to the condenser inlet.
Capacity control in large centrifugal refrigerant compressors is typically achieved through methods such as variable inlet guide vanes, variable speed drives, and slide valves. These methods help adjust the flow of refrigerant into the compressor to modulate its capacity based on changing system requirements.
Refrigerant enters the compressor inlet as a low pressure vapor. The compressor increases the pressure, and discharges it as a high pressure vapor.
Hi the compressor has a device usually a pressure switch that on off loads the head inlet compression valve system. With a screw compressor it is usually a diaphragm operating a piston that open and closes the inlet to the element
if your uing air tools on the compressor then you will put one or two drops directly into the inlet where you connect the compressor hose
Compressor outlet to metering device inlet.
Inlet pressure/discharge pressure
Compressor Inlet Temperature sensorfor a Gas turbine engine.
The high pressure side is the discharge side. It runs from the compressor outlet to the metering device inlet. The low pressure side is the vacuum side. It runs from the metering device outlet to the compressor inlet.
It's not a switch. The high pressure runs from the compressor outlet to the orifice tube inlet, and the low pressure side runs from the orifice tube outlet to the compressor inlet.
