Is a 0.85 oz bigger than a 3.4 oz?
0.85 is smaller than 1. 3.4 is bigger than 1. "Bigger than 1" is bigger than "smaller than 1".

0.015 is bigger than 0.0069
Why is the suction line of a pump larger than the discharge line?
It is common practice to specify the pump suction line one size larger than the pump discharge line in order to increase the Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHA) to the pump. A smaller suction line the same pipe size as the discharge line would result in more pressure drop in the suction line and reduce the amount of head available to the suction side of the pump. This in turn would result in an operating point closer to cavitation of the pump.
Where is suction and discharge s?
Answer: The terms suction and discharge are the terms refer to hydraulics. In hydraulics if the the liquid has to be lifted or pumped to the usage area the hydraulic pump will be used . This pump will have to functions that is first suction to lift the fluid and the discharge or delivery . The familiar words in pair are lift and discharge; suction and discharge. The specification of pump for these terms are suction head and discharge head.AnswerThe suction pressure refers to the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor. The suction pressure is a critical variable in ensuring the accuracy of the refrigerant charge, along with the tepmerature of that line as well. The "superheat", or heat added to the vapor in that line can be monitored in this manner.You have not mention which suction pressure... Actually Where ever the suction is presented that pressure is called suction pressure.... and suction pressure in practical cases normally always less that atmospheric pressure and in case of delivery pressure it is oppositeSaying that suction pressure is " the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor " is not accurate.Simply , the suction pressure of a pump is the absolute pressure of a fluid , measured at the inlet of the pump ( in your answer , the pump is the compressor , and the fluid is whatever refrigerant. )The discharge pressure , is the absolute pressure of the liquid measured at the outlet of the pump.Obviously, the discharge pressure is usually bigger than suction pressure.
Comparration diameter size of suction and discharge?
The diameter of the discharge line leaving the ac compressor would be smaller than the suction line, because the compressed gas in the discharge line is more dense.
What effects appear if you reduce the diameter of impeller?
Suction head will decrease Delivery head will decrease. Discharge will increase at low suction and delivery head. discharge stagnate at low head than rated head.
Why is Pump discharge line size smaller than suction line size?
An increase in any pipe diameter will lower the flow velocity, and therefore reduce head loss due to friction, but it is not immediately obvious to me why pump manufacturers provide a discharge side of smaller diameter than the suction side. I don't think it has anything to do with cavitation, maybe it is just to ensure that fluid flows easily away from the pump, since it will be travelling at a higher velocity in the discharge line than entering the pump on the suction side. Maybe the NPSHR values are derived from the difference in pipe diamters across the pump by the manufacturers, such that cavitation does become an (indirect) issue. Maybe somebody else can answer this one. The suction side of the pump normally has only atmospheric pressure of approximately 1 bar available to propel the oil into the pump. Using a larger suction diameter reduces friction loss, and keeps the fluid as close to atmospheric pressure as possible. Fluids will boil at a lower temperature when subjected to vacuum, and hydrauic systems already have a high temperature due to friction losses elsewhere in the circuit. If the suction side is allowed to develop too much vacuum, the lowered boiling point will be exceeded, and cavitation that is destructive to the pump will be induced. The problem can be alleviated by pressurising or elevating the oil tank to maintain a positive pressure at the pump inlet.
What is the calculation of pump suction line?
It might be less than (10.33/sp. gravity) m
How do you know if heat pump compressor is working properly?
you really need gauges to tell 100%.Other than that,if the suction line ( bigger line to compressor ) is cold and sweating,than more than likely its good.But if not than motor could be good just some other problem.
Suction head limit in centrifugal water pump?
Typically, 0.3 psi below atmospheric pressure. No pump can pull more pressure than what is available in the atmosphere, because the number of molecules available for movement is so low.
How to determine the net positive suction head available?
To determine the net positive suction head available (NPSHA), you need to calculate the total fluid pressure at the pump suction inlet (including atmospheric pressure, fluid pressure, and velocity head), then subtract the vapor pressure of the fluid at the operating temperature and pressure. If the calculated NPSHA is greater than the net positive suction head required (NPSHR) for the pump, it is considered adequate for proper pump operation.
Why air condition compressor is overheating?
IT COULD THAT YOUR SYSTEM IS EITHER OVERCHARGED OR UNDER CHARGED. ALSO CHECK YOUR FURNACE FILTER.AND MAKE SURE YOUR OUTDOOR UNIT is clear of dirt and obstructions. --------------------------------------------------------------- There are several reasons for a compressor to overheating High compression ratios are the result of either lower than normal suction pressures or higher than normal discharge pressures. Changes in suction pressure will affect the compression ratio more rapidly than changes in the discharge pressure. For this reason, it is important to keep the suction pressure at its highest possible value. Causes of low suction pressure can include incorrect sizing of components, misadjusted or defective metering devices (TXVs), loss of refrigerant charge, plugged driers or strainers, and excessive suction line pressure drop. Although not as sensitive to change as the suction pressure, the discharge pressure can still greatly affect the compression ratio. Keeping the discharge pressure within normal operating conditions is still important. Causes of high discharge pressure can include dirty condensing coils, undersized discharge line, a blockage or recirculation of condenser air, erratic condenser fan operation, refrigerant overcharge, noncondensibles in the system, and an undersized condenser.
Why is the male heart is bigger than the female?
The male body is bigger than the female, so the heart would need a bigger surface area to pump the blood around to all the parts of the body.
Why the centrifugal pump is called high discharge pump?
for a simple reason because it has high discharge than any other available pump. the centrifugal pump uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid centrifugal force = (mass *velocity2)/radius. hence centrifugal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, in this case being the velocity of the fluid. power provided to pump proportional to the force exerted by the impeller.hence higher the power results in higher centrifugal force implying square of the velocity of the fluid. higher the velocity of the fluid higher the discharge of the pump.
