At a job yesterday to quote new equipment, found a ll filter dryer at the air handler, another outside at the line set near service valve and a third inside by the reversing valve, hopefully the homeowner will give us a shot instead of the guys he has used for years that replaced the compressor and left all those in it. Also someone moved the sensing bulb from the suction line, and electric taped it to the liquid line.

I took pictures of the outdoor unit, now I can't find them in my phone. There's also several federal pacific/stabloc panels around the house that no one has ever warned them about. Some people.

You didn't know? TXV's work off of subcool.

 

[CircusEnvy]

The TEXV works on subheat so its goes on the lil' pipe.

 

[MechTech2013]

Are you sure? Isn't called supercool?

 

[CircusEnvy]

Purdy shure its subheat... ya know, big pipe shud be cold, lil pipe warm, but not too warm - subheat

OMG! This **** was staged right??>:grin2: Wow

 

[yaytech]

maybe he figgered puttin it on the hot pipe would make the valve add more freon to the coil, and ya know that makes it colder ...

Not staged, exactly as I found it, almost, I moved the foam/tar tape that was covering the clamps from where the TXV used to be. I'll go back out there tomorrow and get new outdoor pics, with the other two f/d

 

[samtheman]

if yer gonna tape the bulb on, you have to use the ul-181 tape

 

[pctech]

would love to see the stab lock panels if you got them

Electrical tape and it's many uses. you never have a system that is too clean. The more filters the better.

 

[shavedneon]

Wow, a suction filter also inside condenser.

 

[rayr]

And a FPE (Burn-O-Matic) panel to boot.....

 

[DOGBOY]

sometimes if a txv is closing down too much and it will open when warmer I will leave it in ambient air to possibly get more cooling until we can replace it.

Pretty sure it's subcool and superheat. Not supercool and subheat
