Tweaking

[slavic1705]

Chilly told me that my system was way over charged so I have been letting out a little gas at a time and this what I've got so far. Any advice?

Its a simple single stage chilly1 kit.
404a
The fuse for my controller is in the mail so evap temp is not readable yet. All I've got is BIOS readings for the moment.

You should tell us evaporator temp, SST, high side pressure and some more info, like what gas you`re using ?

Is it just me or do your gauges show you as running 6 psi static? :confused:

Try about -0.2, -0.1 bar on manometer when you are in BIOS.

tnx

If your waiting on a fuse from Chilly1, I would go to Frys or some other electronic store and buy a fuse today.

The froster XE requires a 8amp 250 volt fuse. You can use a 10 amp 250 volt fuse also.
Get your controller working. You need to be running close to 4 to 6 in. hg vacuum (low side) and 175 - 200psi (high side) with your rig.

That's a ball part number. Is your suction line frosting back to compressor? Can you hear the sound of water dripping into hot grease inside your compressor? Don't let any gas out untill we see your gauges with the system running.

I ordered the fuse from a online supply house, I have a traking # it should be here wed.

4 to 6 in. hg vacuum- thats in the green right?

Is your suction line frosting back to compressor? - It was before I insulated it.

Can you hear the sound of water dripping into hot grease inside your compressor? - No I don't think so.

Don't let any gas out untill we see your gauges with the system running. - That is with the system running.

That pic was after the compress and the system had both been running for about 10min.

Yes, that`s in the green on manometer.

I must write something, You have written, that suction line was frosted before you insulated it...but, when you`re insulating it, frost should go to the compessor much more.

A bit off topic .. But is is just me or do your gagues call you a retard in you have a high pressure ???
Or does the 'retard' mean something else ?

That means it is going to blow up you freaking retard! :D

[runmc]

If you did hear the sound of water in grease, it would be the liquid refrigerant going back through the suction line and dripping into the hot oil. This is not a good thing. It appears you are overcharged.
If I were you I would wait until you can see what your evao temps are.
If it's a 1/3 hp like chilly was using , you should probably be running in a vac (green part of your gauge) -4in hg

That's a good one Slavic :clap:

The retard just means that the scale has gone non-linear in that portion, or rather is has changed to a different slope of pressure-displacement. Notice how big of a pressure increase it is to the next mark.

[chilly1]

retard the pressure or was it teh retard was under too much pressure???? O well let out some more fully unloaded 10 min run time 0 psig with head fully insulated the load it up pressure under 150 to 175 watts will be 2 to 3 psig
