compressor temp

[Brutus]

I have just been measuring the temp of my compressor and the bottom temp is about 11 C and the top is about 47 C.
Is this any good or should i let some gas out ??

compressors are supposed to run hot...

leave it alone, it sounds fine

[Brutus]

Yes but i have got some frost on my compressor around the suctionline ?
Does not seem right to me

Sounds like too much refrigerant to me. The bottom of the compressor should be at least room temperature.

Oh...thats bad i think. It's because some of liquid doesn't boil enough, and it's bad for your compressor, when liquid gets in it. So you should do anything...for example make evap larger.

is it possible that when i put a load on it the frost will dissapear ??

[Gary Lloyd]

No, you have too much refrigerant. Remove some.
