yea that building has about 60 units 55 are yorks 5 tranes the last two i worked on were trane . Fixed to leaks on the one in three weeks third time replaced condenser.

Your problem could have been easily solved by installing something other than Trane.

dont know what it was but there was a good bit of it.

could it be that when they did the piping that theplugs in the copper were not removed and melted when being brazed?

I had some of that stuff in a 2 ton Trane condensor once, don't know what the heck it is either. That was a couple years ago. Just replaced the condensor coil, kept the compressor. Still running after 2 years.

Dont know what it was black hard as hell crap.We were thinking compressor windings so we changed out compressor had about 4 inchs of liq line plugged. I felt like a jackass for not seeing the problem. On this unit it has a sensor right before the filter dryer wrapped with insulation when i was checking it out i seen filter freezing so i changed the filter if i would have removed the insulation i would have seen it was freezing about 3 inches before filter right were it was plugged other tech found it in about 30 minutes.

Just wondering what was the blockage.

Thought i would let you guys know that the liquid line was blocked almost completley shut about 10 inches from condenser. Running like a champ now.

180 head pressure is low. I'd do as Southern Mech suggests and see what happens...

Do you have any Superheat or Subcooling readings? Discharge superheat would be nice to have also. What kind of compressor does this system have?

thanks for your help

TXV inlet should have a screen.

Morganizer is a '' customization'' company. they add ERV's, Hot water coils, Hot gas re-heat you name it. they take a Trane package unit add the element of an engineer's brainstorming and put it together, sometimes a tech's nightmare is the end result, of course isn't that what alway's happens when you put an engineer in the equasion/

southern mech what does that mean?

It was a parker filter dryer i think factory .

what kind of drier did you pull out? Spun copper kind?

sure
