    high suction pressure



    Hello,

    I'm doing commisioining duct-split unit (DX system),
    detailed outdoor-unit with a scroll compressor copeland ZR72KC-TFD (I max 12A)
    R407C charge, indoor-unit with cooling coil capacity 14.3kw with danfoss expansion
    TGEX-6TR-20kw (P.N.067N2236)
    T room control setting at 24C.

    after vacuumizing and charging R407C, start-up and running the unit,
    after 12 hours running,
    T room is still too high at 25-27C
    Suction pressure = 80PSiG and liquid pressure = 270 PSiG
    the compressor I run = 8 Ampere
    what's about wrong with this unit??

    I'm confused why the suction pressure can be high (80 psig)
    My last bit of waste refrigerant (from liquid line), and then
    pressure turns into P suct = 80PsiG P liquid = 255 psig

    Please opinion or input to have experienced the above case.

    Re: high suction pressure

    Evaporator air in temperature = ?
    Evaporator air out temperature = ?
    Low side saturation temperature = ?
    Suction line temperature = ?

    Condenser air in temperature = ?
    Condenser air out temperature = ?
    High side saturation temperature = ?
    Liquid line temperature = ?

    High load on system or unit undersized plus we need all the information that Gary detailed.

    A suction pressure of 80 psi isn't unremarkable with an air on of 27C? Set the head pressure controller to maintain 265 psi and add gas until the liquid line measure about 35 C, this will give you 9K subcooling and you shouldn't be far wrong at this point. When the room temp gets to 22 then check your superheat and adjust as required. 4 - 10 will probably be ok for most applications?

    This is the best I can come up with with the info at hand?

    Did you liquid charge the system.
