    Re: problem in ammonia thermosyphon system

    HI ghanghas, monitor the temperature of the thermosyphon in/out temp.
    Is this a new installation, or a previously o.k. system.
    Is there a balance line between the reciever and condenser.
    oil pump flow rate? slide valve behaviour?
    Im very keen to find out what is causing this.Please post what you find, I will talk with a friend tomorrow who has had a simmilar issue before.
