What is the state of refrigerant in a receiver tank.
I am of the opinion that you have liquid and vapor together, and therefore you are saturated.
Others disagree.
Given that every receiver I've ever seen has the entrance above the liquid level, and in many cases have an inverted dip tube I'm having trouble seeing how there is anything except a saturated condition.

When a system is operating, subcooled liquid enters and exits the receiver quicker than the pressure and temperature can achieve an equilibrium.
