    *Hey all...Not spamming here (ck my past posts) and I'm not trying to hijack HeadMistress's thread, but since it was brought up... I sell the Dometic Fresh Air Tube...It's really not complicated, and just connects in-line in a duct...Then power comes from the main power input of the A/C unit...

    Noisy air conditioner when cycling off

    *Well...417a is a blend...Where R-134a is not, and was developed to simulate R-12 operation...417a is forulated as a Drop-In replacement for R-22 in existing systems. I also have a Drop-In (blend) on the truck for R-12...Have to go out & look (don't use it much) but I think it's R-416a...It...

    Oops...That's right...You did say it was 16K... From that I can tell you it needs a total of 80 square inches of discharge grill area & 140-160 of return... Steve~ -- Edited by spcoolin on Monday 13th of June 2011 05:30:19 PM

    Recent AC repair

    Well like I said...If it's a Rotary compressor, charging is slightly different because it is normal for Rotary's to run hot...The hot discharge gas is just inside the compressor shell. Most Rotary compressors are Tall & Skinny with the wire connections on top... Most piston type comppressors...

    AC temp differential

    *Not really true...34 to 42 degrees is the target with a 15 to 18 degree TD... <ul>Higher than 18 degree TD usually means restricted air flow and is where you will see coil icing in ambient air temps below 68 degrees or higher depending on how restricted...Less than 15 degree TD usually means a...

    *Hi Steve~ First let me congradulate you for a job well done !!! A few notes: That FLA rating is with a clean water (condenser) coil & (I believe) 85* seawater... <ul>Seawater condensers are known to build up a hard water scale acting like an insulating blanket preventing proper heat transfer...

    Which refrigerant??

    * That's true. I am working with a knowledgable buddy also and have found the my supply grills are not large enough (square inches) for the CFM's coming out of the air handler. He is designing a new plenum and we will add an additional vent and this should help also. *This is more likely your...

    12 volt freezer

    Sorry to say folks...Tundra is No More....The factory in Mexico had a fire, and Dometic (who bought out Taylor Made) has no plans to rebuild...

    HVAC frozen up (literally!)

    What the deal here folks is...That water coil runs much colder than the water that runs thru it...40 degree & below water may cause that coil to run as low as 22-32 degrees... It will surely freeze solid...But the less than freezing water before it, will still try to pump.... Steve~ --...
