Baby poop in TXV

[Snapperhead]

Never seen such a thing

Manitowoc Freezer 2 door stand up , compressor and everything on top

R404

Cond had a blanket of lint

Suction was low after cleaning , so I knew the poor thing baked itsself

Pulled txv screen and it was clogged up with white chalk

Take Txv body apart to check , and all over the spring and the needle and inside body was this brown stuff that i could wipe off easily.

Change drier , add little acidaway just for the hellofvit , and its up running happy again.

I dont know how long tho ..... what in the world is causing that build up ??

Didn't want to try the TXV to cap tube conversion?

[2sac]

Maybe change it's diet from bananas to applesauce

Thickened oil?

[neumonic]

I would recomend changing the diaper more frequently

[Snapperhead]

I called the local clinic , they suggested more soy



Convert to cap tube ? Hey thats a Great idea !

Hold on be right back !

Was the oil tested for acids? Can you add a SGMIndicator? That drier might have to be changed out a few times, frying the oil real possible.

was it a waxy substance?

I had sort of the same thing. A white-ish grey stuff in the TEV strainer. It was maybe nine months ago, so it's sort of hard to remember, but I think I remember that same "chalky" texture between my fingers.

Couldn't figure out what it was, so the unit got a new drier and TEV and let 'er rip.

nope , it was more like mold

Yea i carry those quick check ones you push onto the schrader valve , no acid

Might have to add a SG if it does this again.

I have seen other units where the refrigerant passing thru was brown , and they were still running somehow

Did you read any of those articles? If so, what is the cause of that white stuff?
