Low ambient is what temp?
60F and below
Typical Condenser split
30F
Lower for: freezers, remote, high efficiency
For 3/8” tubing, what is the pressure drop per foot of rise?
1/2 psig per foot rise
Fan cycle controls differential:
30-50F, 40F is standard
HPR problem: head pressure is low and liquid line is cold
HPR valve port stuck open
HPR problem: head pressure high, liquid line warm or hot
HPR valve port stuck closed, only passing on hot gas not liquid refrigerant
HPR problem: liquid line warm or hot, head pressure low
Not an HPR problem, undercharge. Common in first cold snap
