Wondered why subcooling was out of whack. Looked inside this machine and found a factory installed metering device.
Cut it out and installed a two core shell for the fix. Anyone want to take a stab at what unit this is?

I bet that's RTU #5!Just a guess, but Trane? Just becuase the brackets that support the condenser fan motor.

The picture is a liquid line drier. It is in an Addison 100% outside air unit.

Very good questions! This unit is about 6-7 years old. It has had several refrigerant circuit related repairs through its life, and is obvious no one replaced the drier during any of them, as it was still the factory installed one.... Pure sacrilege!
You know how factory likes to skimp on their drier sizes. We went from their 75 ci to a 96 ci core type, and she's running like a Singer sewing machine now.
