hi there,
i am reading the kotza book which i am studying at home at night and have a question. i am reading about reversible A/C system so just a split system as the example is.
it says in my book that the liquid reciever is used when systems have 4way reversing valves and that in cooling operation mode the condensor is full of liquid. this bit i understand.
but then says when the cycle is reversed in to heat mode and the condensor changes in to an evap, this means a large quanity of liquid is being drawn into the compressor hence the liquid reciever being fitted to the suction side of the compressor.
please could someone explain why large quantities of liquid would be in the Outdoor Unit which has then become the evap?
i thought on heat mode that would mean the indoor unit would have the large quanity of liquid inside it.
struggling to get my head around this bit?:confused:
cheers lee
