and high vibration
SOLUTION
If the circuit pressure is higher (<1bar) than the
saturated pressure corresponding to the
measured outdoor temperature, there is
possibility that some contaminants are present
in the system.
Reclaim the refrigerant, and vacuum the circuit
(Ensure very low and slow vacuum for R407c)
Recharge the unit
Check the condenser coil and clean is
necessary
Check clearance around the condenser
Refer to LP problems and LP cut out section
Open the superheat adjustment on the expan-
sion valve.
Check the pressure drop on the filter drier in the
suction line
Check operation of the valve by going through
cycle inversions. Change if necessary.
Refer to LP problems
SOLUTION
Reduce the rotation speed of the fan
Measure and estimate the airflow and pressure
and compare with the specification from
customer.
