TROUBLE CAUSE
An evaporator just does a proper cooling job
without sufficient air. Shortage of air can be
caused by the following:
* Dirty filters; or
* Dirty coils.
Testing condenser pressure.
Note: R-134A pressure is function of the temperature variation.
Example, for an exterior temperature of 100°F.
Exterior temperature (100°F) + 30°F = 130°F. Refer to paragraph "10.11 Temperature & Pressure".
Note the corresponding pressure for a temperature of 130°F, 199.8 psi.
Read the condenser pressure, example 171.9 psi.
171.9 psi & 199.8 psi, the pressure in the condenser is inferior to the pressure corresponding to the
exterior temperature, in this case the condenser pressure may be too low. Check for refrigerant leaks
and add refrigerant if necessary. If the pressure corresponding to the condenser temperature is
superior to the pressure corresponding to the exterior temperature, then the air cooled condenser
pressure may be too high. Most frequent causes are:
Reduced air quantity. This may be due to:
* Non-condensable in system;
* Dirt on the coil;
* Restricted air inlet or outlet;
* Dirty fan blades;
* Incorrect rotation of fan;
* Fan speed too low;
* Fan motor going out on overload; or
* Prevailing winds.
* Too much refrigerant in system. Remove refrigerant if necessary.
