The suction pressure refers to the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor. The suction pressure is a critical variable in ensuring the accuracy of the refrigerant charge, along with the tepmerature of that line as well. The "superheat", or heat added to the vapor in that line can be monitored in this manner.
You have not mention which suction pressure... Actually Where ever the suction is presented that pressure is called suction pressure.... and suction pressure in practical cases normally always less that atmospheric pressure and in case of delivery pressure it is opposite
Saying that suction pressure is " the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor " is not accurate.
Simply , the suction pressure of a pump is the absolute pressure of a fluid , measured at the inlet of the pump ( in your answer , the pump is the compressor , and the fluid is whatever refrigerant. )
The discharge pressure , is the absolute pressure of the liquid measured at the outlet of the pump.
Obviously, the discharge pressure is usually bigger than suction pressure.
Sounds like a blockage in the system on the high pressure side.
The diameter of the discharge line leaving the ac compressor would be smaller than the suction line, because the compressed gas in the discharge line is more dense.
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
In boiler feed pumps usually the discharge pressure is 20 to 30 times tie suction Pressure so to protect the pump balancing line is given from discharge to suction.
Suction strainers offer front-line fluid filtration in the tank, used to prevent large particles of sediment, sewage, mud, or solids from entering suction port of drainage pumps.
Yes refrigerant temperatures and pressures in the cooling mode of a heat pump is the same. They are both in the suction side and the discharge side of the system.
Discharge side........
The diameter of the discharge line leaving the ac compressor would be smaller than the suction line, because the compressed gas in the discharge line is more dense.
its pressure between suction and discharge flow...
The S port is the Suction and its the low side. The D stands for Discharge and its your high side.

a pump consisting of a piston that moves back and forth or up and down in a cylinder. The cylinder is equipped with inlet (suction) and outlet( discharge) valves. On the intake stroke, the suction valves are opened, and fluid is drawn into the cylinder. On the discharge stroke, the suction valves close, the discharge valves open, and fluid is forced out of the cylinder.
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
Suction head will decrease Delivery head will decrease. Discharge will increase at low suction and delivery head. discharge stagnate at low head than rated head.

It is common practice to specify the pump suction line one size larger than the pump discharge line in order to increase the Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHA) to the pump. A smaller suction line the same pipe size as the discharge line would result in more pressure drop in the suction line and reduce the amount of head available to the suction side of the pump. This in turn would result in an operating point closer to cavitation of the pump.
In boiler feed pumps usually the discharge pressure is 20 to 30 times tie suction Pressure so to protect the pump balancing line is given from discharge to suction.
