larger evaporator

[praha99]

I can`t get into the PRO`s forum so I may have a dumb question.
In the past oversizing evaporator by half a ton was acceptable.(with orfice)
What about TXV? This is the first year I have had any experience with them. Can go more than 1/2 with TXV?

The best way to do it is to go HERE and properly match your equipment.

Oversizing evap coils & mix matching TXV to orifice is no more accurate than using 400-500 sq ft p/ ton. Both will yield very bad results.

Stick with ARI rated match coils.

If you are a pro, which your profile shows nothing about, then you can apply for pro status.

As for "oversizing" anything; why would anyone want to do something like that?

If you are referring to installing an ARI matched coil that has a larger capacity nomenclature indication then the outdoor unit, there is no problem as long as you install the proper metering and charge according to the manufacturer's specs.

With a larger indoor coil, you may experience less dehumidification unless you slow down the blower speed. Better know what you are doing or you may wind up with an ice monster and no cooling.

Why would a larger coil with more surface area dehumidify less?
My original question reffered to matched equipment I.E. :
AMST 2.5 ton cased coil and 3.0 ton coil are one of the same.
Same coil handles either unit. Just trying to understand..

btw, getting into the Pro forum is impossible, everytime I hit the button I get promted for name and password then it tells me I`m already a member and to apply for membership, apply for membership, tells me I`m already a member.. I can do that for hours won`t help

[jacob perkins]

do a search here on

'apply for membership-PRO`s forum"

this question has been asked several times. There might even be an official thread or forum about it.

I think you need to send an e mail to somewhere or somethin.

good luck

The larger the coil surface area, the higher the coil temperature per square inch. The higher the coil temperature, the less time the coil will hit the dewpoint of the air moving across it. By lowering the speed of the air, less load is put on the coil allowing the surface area to decrease in temperature. Also, the lower the blower speed, more air will make contact with the coil surface for removing moisture from that air.

I think you have to use the contact us at the bottom to apply for pro membership for now.
