Hello all, new here.
Just had a quick question, at work i have run into a couple condensing units (r22, residential) that have been previously "rebuilt" by, well, who knows. They have installed 2 ton compressors onto the existing 1.5 ton condensing coils.(pretty small ones at that)
Basically, there is no way to get these units to run even close to normal, correct?
Ok suction press and way high head press on the one unit, with close to "normal" readings on the other.
Both with only about 6-8* delta t at the A coils.
Unfortunately these are both on 3rd floor apts....
My Maintenance Supervisor has less knowledge than me on AC systems and has a hard time understanding that this setup will not work properly. Oh, one has a 2 ton A-coil and the other a 1.5, if it matters.
Am i correct here?
Thanks in advance.
