Suction Line Selection

Purpose of the suction line is to return superheated
vapor to the condensing unit from the evaporator.
Proper suction line sizing is important because it plays
an important role in returning oil to the compressor to
prevent potential damage to the bearings, valves, and
scroll sets. Also, an improperly sized suction line can
dramatically reduce capacity and performance of the
system. The procedure for selecting the proper suc-
tion line is as follows:

• Reference Table 2 to verify that the calculated
equivalent length falls within the compatibility region
of the chart.
• Verify Table 3 to verify the capacity difference is
compatible with the application.
Refrigerant Migration During
Off Cycle
Long line set applications can require a consider-
able amount of additional refrigerant. This additional
refrigerant needs to be managed throughout the entire
ambient operating envelope that the system will go
through during its life cycle. Off-Cycle migration is
where excess refrigerant condenses and migrates to
the lowest part of the system. Excessive build-up of
refrigerant at the compressor will result in poor reli-
ability and noisy operation during startup. This sec-
tion demonstrates the required accessories and unit
