    Re: suction line sweating too much

    Your lack of information helps to prove nothing.

    A sweating pipe proves that there is moisture in the atmosphere.

    All your comments are subjective but tell us nothing.

    Please supply a full set of readings if you want some answers.

    probably loud compressor could mean liquid carry-over to begin with . however, as BRIAN has mentioned , more details could only lead to better clues

    if its sweating back and pressures are good then you are good if it starts to freeze back to the comp then its over charged

    Sorry... but it doesn't work that way.
