    Given that and ASSUMING that the airflow was correct, I'd shoot a bit of gas in it and see what happened.

    I was thinking airflow

    But like I said I been out laid up for a good while. Going to go out at 5:30 am with his young son (mid 20s )

    see how I do.

    Low airflow would tend to give you a lower Superheat.

    High airflow would show up with high suction and high Superheat.

    Another thought that occurs to me would be a restricted piston or bad TXV.


    Nothing wrong with being rusty. 2 years is a long time.

    The numbers you gave are missing one very important piece of information, what was indoor wet bulb temp? with that you could determine what the target S/H should be.
    I agree that it probably is a little low on charge, if nothing has been done to it in the nine years I would first check that Coil is clean, blower wheel is clean and then recharge unit, probably a piston metering system so S/H is the important number.
    Good luck and glad to see you are getting to work on a unit, be careful and do not hurt yourself.

    With 10 SC, you have liquid available at the metering device, so your SH should be lower. I'd expect a restriction before the evap, like a clogged dryer, orifice, or a closed txv.


    Good morning, Bret and everyone.

    IF it's short on charge.....you should be running "0" SC...
