Aermec chiller component?

[Daz man]

Hi all,

Can anyone please explain what this is, in the suction line just before the compressor?

Is it a drier or a muffler? See pics attached

the reason I ask is because I have a temperature drop across it, which may be correct, I don't know.

R407c refrigerant enters the insulated cylindrical component at 3 degress Celsius and exits the component just before it enters the compressor at 8.4 degress Celsius.

thats a fair temperature difference (5.4 degrees)

When recording super heat which figure would you go off? Worst case scenario?

I would welcome any thoughts, many thanks.

Right - according to Aermec its a suction line muffler.

That will do for me.
