Had the same problem on Atlas Copco some time ago, I just replaced the refrigerant and all was well afterwards.
Charge it with 507, its more stable, and pressures and temps are close enough.

hi chemi-cool
had leak on this unit about 6 months ago and put fresh charge in then, when i called atlas they say take soleniod off as they have as its restricting flow but i cant work out why this has not happened in past cos dryer has been on site for 2 year cheers mate.
