LIQUID REFRIGERANT SEPARATOR
The liquid separator, Figure 3, is of the horizontal type and
especially designed for plants with small refrigerant charges
and small variations in liquid level. The liquid level can be
checked on the liquid level column sight glass, Position 9. A
horizontal liquid separator is specifically designed for critically
charged units with small variations in liquid level. This level
must not be more than 2 inches (51 mm) above the bottom
of the liquid separator. The separation of liquid from gas is
achieved efficiently by leading the return lines to both ends
of the liquid separator. This reduces the gas velocity in the
liquid separator and allows time for the liquid to collect before
the gas travels to the compressor.
