How to deal with liquid at the compressor inlet?
Reply #22011-09-21
Increasing the inlet temperature appropriately or enlarging the volume of the inlet buffer tank improves the separation efficiency in the early stages; if there is too much liquid in the buffer tank, the closed discharge valve can be slightly opened to facilitate liquid drainage.

If maintenance is to be carried out in the near future, a foam mesh can be installed above the compressor buffer tank, or a pressure vessel equipped with a separator can be placed in front of the buffer tank to improve the separation effect. There is one point that needs to be discussed with the moderator: increasing the inlet temperature will result in a poorer vapor-liquid separation effect. Therefore, my suggestion is to lower the inlet temperature appropriately and increase the frequency of condensate removal.

Hehe, everyone is too eager to analyze. It is not yet clear what type of compressor the original poster is using, what medium it compresses, and whether it operates in a closed-loop system

The liquid level of the working fluid in the evaporator ahead of your compressor is a bit high; it’s necessary to reduce the amount of fluid supplied to the evaporator

I wonder what the LZ produces, and where compressors are used?
