Answer to Question 1

5 x 1 = 5inches for vertical lift 20/10 = 2 inches for horizontal run 5+2=7 inches vacuum

Answer to Question 2

Superheating the refrigerant leaving the evaporator insures that no liquid enters the compressor. If liquid does enter the compressor it can be damaged because liquid is non-compressible.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
