Try to imagine a big, glass, about a galon pickle jar.

drill a hole in the bottom of the pickle jar. Put a tube on the bottom. Put
in an inch or so of water.

Drill a hole along the side, near the top. Pump in a little air, and some
water.

Keep draining water out of the bottom. The air is still trapped in the jar.

Crude, but the kind of idea.

The air is above the liquid refrig. the liquid line to the evaporator comes
off the bottom of the condensor.

I know it can't condense, but why doesnt't it flow. Because the air
is now separated from the refrigerant? Shouldn't liquid refrigerant
still be able push the air along the liquid line.
