    We made a cleaning with acid solution of the condenser and the situation is back to normal, pressure 16

    Only has a 7°F water delta across the evap, and 9°F on the condenser.

    R407C at 290PSIG is a sat of 118°F, and at 65PSIG is a sat of 42°F.

    Chance of a restriction in refrigerant circuit.

    27K SC = 48.6°F of subcooling.

    20bars=290PSIG, 4.5bars=65PSIG.
    70C=158F.
    27K SC = 48.6°F of subcooling.

    27 k?

    How much in Fahrenheit?

    Subcooling is 27 k ...

    Normal condensing presure is around 15

    Who said 70˚C is too hot or 20 bar too high?

    refrigeration / water to water heat pump

    Sirius model / french product
    The heat pump is a 19KW , water to water

    - on low pressure side we have: inlet water 16C, outlet water 12C, pressure of the refrigerant 4.5 bar

    - on high pressure side: inlet water 30 C, outlet water 35 C, pressure of the refrigerant is 20 bar

    This high pressure is to high for the 35 C water outlet
    The top of the compressor is 70C, too hot

    If the water outlet is set 40 C we have pressure error (compressor stops)

    We recharge the heat pump with R407C, the qty is correct. But the pressures are still to high

    When we open fully the expansion valve the low pressure rich 5.5 bar and high one 18 bar / the top the compressor is still 70C
