a The sizing shown is recommended where any gas generated in the receiver must return up the condensate line to the condenser without restricting condensate flow. Water-cooled condensers, where the receiver ambient temperature may be higher than the refrigerant condensing temperature, fall into this category.
b The line pressure drop
p is conservative; if subcooling is substantial or the line is short, a smaller size line may be used. Applications with very little subcooling or very long lines may require a larger line.
