Strange TXV setup

[Chef]

That's not possible... but there is no sense in arguing the point.

Whats not possible - which part - explain?

If there is something needed to to be done about the piping then give it a go and I will include it in the new build specs - best time is right now.

It is not possible to have 5-6C SC at the TXV inlet.

OK this is the figure at the exit of the condenser so pressure drops will lose some SC along the way but it has the HX and this could add some SC but dont know how much. By hand feel only it is just colder than room temp so maybe 1 or 2 degrees down - a guess.

Never measured it at the TXV but the liquid line has a permanent thermometer on it so we can see what temp it is at during all stages of the operation and it is normally a couple of degrees above the water temp.
