Air Conditioning
(OP)
Hello,
I may have to put together a air cooling system. One option is to blow air on a finned tube like an evaporator. My question is what if I do not have enough heat in the air to evaporate all the refrigerent? How is this done in standard a/c applications? Are there heaters or expansion tanks used to make sure that only gaseous refrigerent goes into the compressor?
Thanks

The suction pressure is often monitored, and the compressor will either unload, or shut-off when it drops to low.
Some systems will incorporate a suction accumulator to prevent liquid from reaching the compressor under unusual operating conditions.
Some systems will incorporate a suction/discharge heat exchanger.
