Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
Liquid Line
DESCRIPTION
The A/C liquid line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C condenser to the A/C evaporator. The A/C liquid line contains the low
side service port (2) and the variable A/C orifice tube. The A/C liquid line is only serviced as an assembly with the upper A/C suction line (3).
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the
rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C liquid/suction line assembly has no serviceable parts except for the metal gaskets (4), rubber O-ring seals (5) and the low side service port valve
core. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals and gaskets
must be replaced whenever the A/C liquid/suction line assembly is removed.
The A/C liquid/suction line assembly cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged, or if an internal failure of the A/C compressor has
occurred.
