[littlebigdad]

$ a bottle in my neck of the woods.....

there was no inulation on the suction line...

has anyone had any success with the leak sealers you blow into a system?

I have tryed stop leak on a couple of systems, it didn't cause any problems, but it also didn't work. If the leak is that big it might not help.

We're talking about 1-2 oz max. The reason you use R22 is because most leak detectors pick it up very good.

I work on Bev-Airs everyday. Not familiar with that particular unit but sounds like a leak. Restricted condition is probably due to moisture icing up in cap tube. It's imperative to pull a deep vacuum (300-500 mics) on these systems. Break the vacuum with nitro a couple times to get there. Pull all the insulation off the line set and see if your leak is there first. I find leaks there a lot. If the copper is badly corroded, the line set should be replaced from comp to cabinet. Hope this helps.

FYI, Bev-Airs can be a PITA to leak detect. I had one this summer that got the best of me and I was forced to admit defeat and sent it to the junkyard! In my defense, it was 15 years old.

HA! 15 year olds stuff is new in my area!!

A lot of my equipment is on or near the beach, so 15 years equals major corrosion. I forget that equipment in other climates probably fairs much better. Of course,kitchens for instance, tend to be corrosive environments no matter where you are.

Driers warm as they pick up moisture, I think you defiantly have a leak, with POE oil and moisture you are going to be making acid big time.

I didn't see where you had changed the drier maybe I missed that.

You might want to look for a kink in the suction line. Look where it comes out of the cabinet, it is rare but I have seen it happen.

Pretty sure you have some type of compound problem: low charge-leak, restriction hiside or lo side ....
