Given that the pressures in a phase change system can reach 200 psi (hot side)... What's the pressure on the cold side again?
Exactly, not only that but heater cores flow pattern is bad for refrigeration.

I have had high side over 350psi, but equalized pressure is usually 150psi.When equalizing it is much higher.
Low side pressure on most systems are around 5-10psi i believe.But after turning the system off that can reach about 100psi.
