7: What is a high-side float?

  • Located in the evaporator, is a float-type metering device that rises to reduce refrigerant flow when the liquid refrigerant level rises in the low side of the chiller
  • Located in the liquid line entering the evaporator, is a float-type metering device that rises to reduce refrigerant flow when the liquid refrigerant level rises in the high side of the chiller
  • An electronic-type metering device that contains a float assembly within the device which can accurately meter refrigerant into the evaporator as the load varies
  • Located in the liquid line entering the evaporator, so when the refrigerant level is higher in the liquid line than the evaporator, the float rises to allow more refrigerant flow into the evaporator
