Re: Vintage air problem

I asked the other day if it was a preset thermostat. The rotary dial, when turned completely clockwise, will not cycle.

Re: Vintage air problem

These systems typically require a specific amount of refrigerant. Check the instructions or contact them for the current capacity. Does this system have a preset thermostat? Is the probe inserted correctly to the proper depth?

Re: Suction line size

Sorry for the late response. If you can build a #12 suction line. That would be best overall. In many cases, they use a #10 due to the availability of fittings.

Re: Purpose of a Flared Fitting

Cheap Hose.
It looks like the extruder failed the last process to me.

What are you apologizing for?
Best to make a custom hose in situations like this.

Re: Vacuum Procedure Question

The way I read your post. You ended up charging the system back up without it in a vacuum? If that is the case, the system needs to be charged into a vacuum.
