Solid flow of liquid in the top of the evaporator?...:toetap:

Thanks guys. I do look at them & i'm still learning every day but ya'll don't understand this small town AL stuff. We might go a year without seeing anything above a 10 SEER!

My intentions werent to get a diagnosis. It was simply to discuss the 18 SEER 2 stage system & see if this was "normal". (& get my post count up) Could someone else chime in on the liquid entering...

Thanks for the input Brent..i'm trying to get my post count up! This is good info but still doesnt explain why it's freezing only at the top..

& if it were non CONDENSEables would that not be in the top of the condenser?? Not causing problems in the evaporator right?

The OAT has not been below 34 & theres been no ice or anything on the house. The unit is on the eve end of the house so forget about water running off the house into it..& r glasgow, the top few rows...

They turn lots away if it is more than a 15 minute fix or if they cant sell them a new unit. I know why its not defrosting, The question is why is the top freezing and the bottom not?

I am going to go check it for them when the rain stops. I'm new to this site so I posted it here to see if there was really any "techs" or "professionals" on this board. So far i've mostly seen parts...

They have 2 identical units put in at the same time. The other is on a different house a couple hundred yards away and it freezing evenly like normal.

Ok, I'm going to think out loud so correct me when I'm wrong. "Freon enters the bottom of the condensing unit (evaporator in heat mode and coldest point of the cycle), absorbs latent heat until it...

No but it has been steadily raining for 5 days. But that still doesn't explain the top few rows being all that freezes does it?

Was looking for a technical explanation. I already know that heat pumps suck and they have supp heat. But it shouldnt freeze enough to hit the fan blades if it was working properly.

This is one of those buddy deals over the phone so i dont have any info besides this..it's been in the mid 30's & raining and his 2 stage heat pump is froze so big at the top that the fan blades are...

But the duct system designs is still what gets me the most!

I've already seen nearly all of that! It's ridiculous really. If i'm guna make a couple thousand off of somebody the least i can do is follow simple instructions that actually make our job fool proof!

What was the reason for changing the dryer?

I got my Associates degree in HVAC/R in July 2011. Being the motivated 22 yr old I was then I hit the ground running & started my own business in October 2011. I am in a small town and everyone...

Stumbled across this forum on google & thought i would check it out. I'm 24 and have my own small HVAC/R business, always looking for new tips & technology!
