Re: High discharge with air
Hi
when you have air in system
your discharge temperature and pressure is high
so your lubrication in compressor is become poor and also you have more pressure and you spend more power and your efficiency comes down .

Re: High discharge with air
At condensing temperature of 34C your condensing pressure should be around 180 psig. How did you measure condensing temperature?

Re: High discharge with air
Could be a few things need checking
- air in system
- water sprays blocked, poor water distribution, dirty strainers.
- water pump not performing
- build up of scale or calcium on comdenser tubes
- fans not working correctly. direction, air bypass, missing
- condenser to small or mis-matched
- system overcharged with refrigerant, receiver should never be over 80% full
The pressures you have are possibly close to relief valve setting, what are they set to relieve at & what is compressor high pressure switch set to, it should be below relief valves 10 to 15%.Last edited by RANGER1; 10-06-2017 at 11:15 PM.
