wondering what the differance, if any, should be across a condenser coil----say your rebuilding a 2.5 ton patco, you put a valve in six inches from the compressor on the discharge line. then you put a second valve in right before the cap tube. seems like, because the discharge is hotter, the pressure should be higher. is that true? if it is, what would off pressures indicate? |

Hi Bill,
The discharge is a pressure that will remain pretty much the same unless the tempature drops in the distance from the compressor to the condencer coil inlet. in this case yes, the cooler you make the discharge the lower the gas pressure will be. The condencer coil's job is to do this and condence the hot vapor gas down to a cool liquid to be evaporated in the evap. coil. And then travel back to the compressor to be recirculated again.
Hope this helps
