SO you would agree that the vapor phase refrigerant continues to move through various suction line components, picking up 10° F to 20° F of additional superheat and by the time the molecules enter the compressor and refrigerant passing around the electric motor windings and rotor of a hermetic or semi-hermetic compressor they should pick up an additional 30° F to 60° F of superheat as watts are converted to torque then Btu, so that in the short time that it takes the refrigerant to enter the cylinders and be discharged at the top of the piston stroke, the refrigerant may pick up 50° F to 90° F more superheat
