Ok here is the situation, after blowing the suction line on my A/C at the joint where it switches from metal to rubber( it was somewhat rusty). I changed a bunch of stuff.
New suction line, receiver dryer, liquid line(or orifice line).
Converted to R134A. (Prior to this I allowed some idiots in an AC shop to put in leak sealer and recharge with R12, never mind where I got it...shhhhhhhhh.)
All seals are the correct green ones. After charging the mechanic was looking at my pressure on the high side, he thinks there is a blockage yet it is cooling very well. My high side reading at idle was around 270lbs. The ambient temperature was 95 degrees, the mechanic said high side readings should equal 2 x ambient temp + or - 10lbs. I should have been reading 200lbs max according to what he said.
This fellow does not and will not use leak sealer in any of his customers AC units, he says it seals alright and can block other little holes that are required, like in the evaporator and condensor.
So AC dudes what kind of high side pressures are you running? Am i in spec or is it truly running to high?
