Hi Guys, unfortunately I have been given the task of looking after a carrier 5H60 Compressor and associated air conditioning equipment. Problem I seem to have a much higher than normal suction pressure, low liquid temp and to me the compressor seems a little noisy. It is an exact copy of a unit standing next to it. the good unit has a high p of 200psi, suct of 33 psi. 80 psi oil pressure(about 50 true psi), discharge gas temp 86 deg f, liquid temp 120 f and suction gas temp of 22deg f. The not so good one, 205 high, 80 suction, 100 oilpressure(about 20 psi true), discharge gas 115 deg, liquid temp 55 degf and 70 deg suction gas temp.
Is this system over or under charged? It was working with simular readings till a few days ago when another operator connected another system to it and dragged out a lot of gas. He then recharged the system but now all the readings are different as is the performance.
Any advice much appreciated
Oh and it is water cooled refrigerant if that helps
