Re: freezing suction line
If the system is using TXV or EEV check the subcooling if its using fix bore metering check the superheat.This two information tells it all.

Re: freezing suction line
If it's frosting back, then then the suction pressure isn't fine. Frosting back within two minutes would also pretty much require low superheat. If airflow seemed fine, then you should check it again, because it may not be fine. Also look for a restriction of one or more of the orifices.

Does it stay frosted, all the time the compressor is running?

Re: freezing suction line
Definately need more info.
Like said before above I would check superheat.
Need to know if it flooding back or Frosting.
Best way I describe this to apprentices that annoy me is.
Stick your tounge on the suction pipe. If you can get it off then its frosting back. If you cant then it is flooding back.
Frosting -Low gas / Restriction metering device.
Flooding Back -Low Air flow /overcharge/ Metering device problem.
Biggest problem with package unit is airflow. Need to adjust pullys based on duct static and rated airflow.No longer Active

Re: freezing suction line
Frosting of the suction line can also be attributed to a low indoor heat source on an A/C install
