    Thank you very much! I'm having trouble with a 410 system that iced up. I thought that it was low on charge. I added refrigerant to get my 10* sub cooling but my suction was still low. I got a fan cycling switch to bring up the back pressure to no avail. I have a restriction and the only thing is the TXV. Thank you for your video.

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The problem is on the evap coil side which includes the txv. Did you check the under side of the evap coil to make sure it was not covered in hair and dust? There could possibly be a restriction in the tubing from the distributor going into the coil or also a clogged liquid line screen. Here is another video on the topic. -- th-cam.com/video/W-IZzI3kjM4/w-d-xo.html --

      acservicetech I looked at the indoor coil and noticed ice at the bottom of both sides of the coil. The call was initially for a water leak. So I started with a vacuum on the condensate line and in the pan. I turned up the thermostat up to 74* from 70* to help de ice the coil. I returned the next day to check my unit. The pressures were 170/70 for R410A. That's when I started noticing that there was more of a problem than low refrigerant charge. There is no liquid line drier on the unit. I just got a new TXV and drier and am going back Tuesday to attack it again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

  • @johnny-hs2su
    @johnny-hs2su 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I am a little confused. Why is the pressure on the high side lower when the TXV bulb is in the cold water? Since the TXV is closed shouldn't most of the refrigerate be in the condenser coil, creating a higher pressure as a result? Or does the excess refrigerant cause the temperature to be lower, causing a drop in pressure?

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The reason is because if the txv won't let much refrigerant through then the refrigerant will not be able to absorb as much heat at the evap in order to reject it outside so therefore the pressure will be lower at the outdoor unit since there is less heat to reject. Great question!

    oh OK never seen in action like that if the txv is starved the sh will the high and if it's folded the sh is low,thank for the video and the insurance policy that no liquid hits the compressor

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No problem, glad to help. Yes this is a clear test to see if the txv is actually operating correctly. A lot of people guess that the txv is the problem it seems but you should always test with the bulb to be sure. Thanks for the Comment!

    What if I have negative of -50 subcooling
    The outside temp is 73
    The liquid side is 146f
    The 410 on red gauge read 102f the pressure is 345psi
    The low side blue gauge read 42 f 410a and the psi is 145psi the temp on that pipe is 68f
    And its txv valve
    It was low in gas and I just put 3lbs of 410a
    The Luqied line dropped from 210f to 150f but what cause that negative subcooling !?
    Thanks

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can't have negative subcooling or negative superheat. One of the measurements must have been off. The temp on the liquid line will be the same or lower than the high side sat temp on an ac unit, thanks

      @@acservicetechchannel thanks for the replay
      I use the same your meter you have the newest one and set on F also the gauge is yellow jacket brand new set
      I checked the temp reading and read.73f when I take it of the liquid line
      The (outside temp)
      The unit was very low on gas and the temp was reading 210f but after adding 3lb. The temp get down to 140f just few hours ago I was up there checking it again !

    Does the bulb have to be installed on the outside of the unit?

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great Question! The bulb is normally installed in the inside of the coil box when the evap coil comes with a factory installed txv. If the txv is installed by the tech it is usually outside. If it is outside, make sure that there is insulation around it! Thanks for the Comment!
