Answer to Question 1

Both temperature and pressure limiting controls are used to maintain the water within safe conditions.
A pressure relief device is supplied in the piping to relieve excess pressure should it occur.
An expansion tank is provided in the piping, partly filled with air, to permit normal expansion and contraction of the water.

Answer to Question 2

R-410A 130 psig = 45F saturation
45F + 18F = 63F suction line temperature
