Hi All,

During system testing, the SST was found to be on lower side!

After checking most of the other parameters like SH, face velocities, etc, I turned the evap fan off and let evap to freeze.

I found that the top and bottom portion of the coil is NOT frosted, rest complete coil was evenly frosted.

The top 3 feed lines going from the distributor were clear, no frost, bottom 2 feeds...very little frost.

Even the temp of top 3 feeds is above 32, rest withon 10-12 degF, bottom 25-30F.

What can be wrong????

Insufficient liquid feeding evapoator, possible TXV sized wrong, distributor tails sized wrong diameter and length, distributor orifice incorrect. TXV should be externally equalized.
