Re: suction line frost
Frost comes from ambient air due to cold pipework.

Re: suction line frost
I'd say that it is possible the a/c runs for extended periods and without regular off cycles ( only if it is not the variable speed type), it can temporarily ice the evaporator. Why? Could be set too low temperature or has a high heat load.. mike.

Re: suction line frost
Or low latent heat in the room like in a computer room
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
