The inflow gets insulated.
Helps keep the system from picking up unwanted heat. Reduces water
condensaton on suction line.

For a central residential AC system, for the two copper pipes going to
the outside condenser unit (outflow/inflow), which copper pipe(s)
should the insulation be placed around?
And what purpose does the insulation play in the AC system's operation?

Hi Ojas
You have lot different answers some are correct but the way are
put you really can tell if are jokers or serious answers,
first your lager pipe/tubing is suction to compressor
which is ideal to be insulated because you don't want
water drips from sweating on the line and on the long runs it
also saves some energy which makes unit little more efficient
but not much that you will be able to see or measure.
The smaller line is your liquid line which carries liquid to
your cooling coil inside your house (remember cooling takes
place when liquid expand from liquid form in to gas)in any
case this line does not need to be insulated unless again
line is long and exposed to sun or is going through area
where temperature is higher then outside the location of
condenser, so in 99% of installations you will not see this
small line insulated but yes if you whish it will not hurt
the system if it is insulated but you may benefit some
as I said it all depend on your setup and location.
