Re: Refrigeration 101
How does SLP concept this relate to the concept of 'liquid cooling'?
Where : LC = Tc,sat - Txv,in
A few points to note:
1. LC will vary as Tc,sat varies over the cycle range;
2. The allowable subcooling (SC = Tc,sat - Tc,exit) differs for different condenser types. SC of 5.5-8.5K will be a problem for plate condensers (2-4K), & air-cooled condensers (~ 0K).
3. In the quest for increased SC, be careful of not pushing up Tc,sat. Basically, Tc,sat levers up off the cooling medium temperature. There is a happy balance point for each system.Engineering Specialist - Cuprobraze, Nocolok, CD Technology

Re: Refrigeration 101
There is no doubt an ideal balance for each specific system... and I would not recommend SLP at the condenser exit for any system.
What I have found works reasonably well for refrigeration systems in general is to have the SLP in between the condenser outlet and the TXV inlet.
Generally, I would want the SLP to be near the receiver outlet and this is where I measure the SC. I suspect this is the very reason sightglasses are usually mounted near the receiver outlet.
