<<When you lose SOME refrigerant (not ALL), the high pressure side maintains the same pressure, but the low pressure side goes even lower. This greater pressure differential can actually cause the system to OVERcool the evaporator to below 32degF and cause accumulated condensation to freeze.>> OK, I have an idea to prove your theory incorrect. So let's both do this. Blow off all your freon, I'll blow off mine. You put back only one pound of refrigerant, I'll put three. Lets see who's blowing the coldest vent temps at the end of the test. Send me pictures of your evaporator all locked up and frozen in a solid block of ice. I would like to see this. No, you can't go into your home freezer and be packing the eveporator with ice for the sake of a photo.-- ~: ) |
