went to look at a LTcoldroom 2nite. Replced tev, orifice and drier, on start up coldroom at +11 on departure -1 blew cond coil through with ofn, all fan motors working, back pressure at 45ps head pressure 300psi, evap coil probe temp -10, was wandering if this sounded about right, ambient temp aprox +24c and coldroom fullyloaded , on arrival coldroom reading +6c and stock starting to thaw. Had to leave site when coldroom at -1c due to owner wanting to get to a meeting, was wandering weather head pressure to high. thanks guys any help would be great:cool:

300psi is about 20 b and that is about 45deg c.

Doing all that work in that ambient, seems about right to me.

It is as high as it wants to get because I bet the hp will be set to about 22b.

yeah mate the high heatload will make for a slow pull down and higher condensing pressures,id be shopping elsewhere for a month or so

It will take a while to pull down.

I hope they sorted out what cant be re frozen like ice cream, fish, poultry .....

thanks guys will ring this orning and see what temp it has reached

[coolhibby1875]

i would say that this is a bit high even more so the suction presure especially if you blew condenser and all the fans are running did you vac out the system prior to opening up system?

colhibby, thanks for the reply, i pumped down prior to valve/drier change so purged refrigerant through suction.
