A high side pressure of 450psi. Is going to kill performance. Spray some water on the condenser and see if the pressures come down.
Things to look at, condenser fins, fans not working or an over charged system of oil or refrigerant.

Re: Looking for advice before I change the compressor on 2007 Dodge Nitro
I do not believe this compressor has a relief valve on it. But might double check the back of the compressor. Question I have, is compressor is leaking refrigerant badly when operating. Is someone just adding more and more refrigerant? What are the pressures? Are the electric fans coming on correctl...

Re: How much torque needed to turn a compressor?
Each compressor has its own resistance. An A6 will take a lot more torque to turn compared to a Scroll compressor. Most compressors can be turned by hard with reasonable resistance.

Re: Custom A/C system diagnostic
Hard to beat you listed pressures. IS the capillary tube on the exp valve attached to the suction line and wrapped with moisture resistant tape? The system is using the 99' Mercury OT, the TXV was removed as the plumbing was deemed too difficult at the time of installation... Personally, i would ch...
