Hi all....
This a a divergence from another thread, but I thought it was relevant enough to warrent its own thread. The question is regarding the receiver.
1) When it is operating correctly, how full would you expect it to be with liquid. The numbers I have seen getting kicked around are between 20% and 80%.
(I personally was wondering why it wasn't 100%, but I think I have been convinced that this is not right)
2) And I guess that you would assume that what comes out of it is 100% liquid?!! Possibly even subcooled a bit
Now if these two things are true, then I think it would have to be a true statement that
3) what is entering it has to be a saturated mixture of vapor and liquid.
But if the geometry of your condenser is correct, would you not be getting subcooled liquid back from you condenser (bottom couple of coil rows would be liquid)??
Any help with these would be much appreciated (several people have tried to help in the other thread, but I think I am missing something)
:confused:
