ps new condensor new reciver dryer new orifice tube.
What is the low side?
55-57 psi ambent temp is about 96-98
There seems to be too much freon in system.
Its not a overcharge issue.. it started running high when the first 8 ounces were added
Was the system evacuated? If it is not overcharging then there is air in system. Both low and high are showing high pressure.
Yes the system was vacd for 45 minutes and pulled to 29hg v. From what i understand 55 psi on the low side is fine for 100 degree ambient
Here are the specifications.
Referigerant is 36 ozs without rear unit and 64 if with rear unit.
At 2000 rpm thats right where im sitting on the low side.. high side shoots sky high and kicks out
If you are sure the expansion valve, condenser and referigerant is correct, the other thing that can cause this would be the condenser is not being cooled sufficiently. Try spraying a fine shower of water onto the condenser and repeat the test. I don't think it is the compressor that is faulty because a bad compressor would not be able to push very high pressure, unless the relieve valve internally is stuck and supplying excessive pressure.
