I have a question regarding the placement of the liquid indicating sight glass on the liquid line, I've seem them placed before and after the filter drier leading to the metering device, I put the sight glass after the drier to some type of indication that the drier needs to be changed. Are there any advantages with putting the sight glass after the drier leading,to the metering device?:callpro:

ahh the age old question. Sight glass before or after the drier.
IT does not really matter.

If you are building it, cut a guy a break and drill in a couple of access fittings, too.
Makes it a LOT easier to check pressure drops.

i just thought of this ground breaking idea;
install one sight glass before the drier
install another sight glass after the drier
then diagnosing a plugged drier would require no tools, except for your :eek2:eyes
but if you have only one sight glass, install it after the drier

i like the way u think.. but that could make it more of a pain to change the dryer depending on the location of the glass..
put one just upstream of the metering device while you're at it, and add some permanent gages too.:bump:

Add too many gadgets and you've got a leak factory.
I'm no fan of permanent mounted gauges. I've done it a time or two for customers without alarms systems to be able to see the suction pressure, but I don't like them as a rule.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that you have to make sure the sight glass is turned in the right direction, always have the glass facing 'UP", this will help when checkin things out, you will not need a mirror as is the norm in most cases !!!! or am I missing something ????
