Difference between lp cutout and lp controller,hp cut out

Lp controller- performs the switching on and of compressor if there is low pressure in compressor suc line due to the closure TEV since the required temperature is achieved in the evaporator,

while Lp cutout is a safety device to protect compressor against low suction pressure due to blockage or leakage otherwise vacuum in line causes ingress of air
Hp cutout trips compressor if pressure at discharge side of the compressor exceeds the working pressor

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
