Fun, fun, fun.

NO WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO IS KEPT THE HEAT TEMP UP ON THE CONDENSOR.BY KEEPING MOST OF THE HEAT GOING INTO MY CONDENSOR I WILL BE KEEPING IT AT MAX EFFICIENCY.HOTTER CONDENSOR AND COLDER AIR WILL GIVE ME THE BEST DELT T.SO AFTER I REMOVE ALL THE HEAT I CAN ,THEN I START SUBCOOLING THE LIQUID LINE(CAPILLARY LINE).SUBCOOLING IS A GREAT WAY TO GET THOSE EXTRA COLD TEMPS,BUT..........TOO MUCH CAN BE BAD.SEE IF YOU USE ALL THE COLD GAS FROM THE RETURN SIDE OF THE EVAP. YOU CAN END UP OVERLOADING THE COMPRESSOR WITH HEAT.

SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE JUST THINK SUBCOOLING IS GREAT AND THE COLDER THE BETTER BUT,ANY TIME YOU REMOVE HEAT FROM THE LIQUID LINE SIDE,YOU ARE DOING NOTHING BUT PUTTING IT BACK INTO THE COMPRESSOR.SO YOU MUST FIND THE RIGHT AMOUNT COLD TO STEAL.THE RETURN LINE NEEDS TO BE SOME WHAT COLD TO HELP IN THE COOLING OF THE COMPRESSOR.

AND NO I AM STILL WHEELING AND DEALING ON THE CONTROLLER.BUT I HAVE MADE A DEAL FOR THE SAME ONE AND A THERMISTOR SO I DONT SPEND A DAY AND NIGHT GETTING THE RIGHT CALIBRATION SET ON MINE
