Temperature will not damage unit. If a/c is needed during periods of low ambient temperatures controls should be added. The added controls will simulate normal temperatures by cycling or modulating the condenser fan motor to maintain proper condensing pressure/ temperature, etc. These are common on equipment, server and cellular site equipment where the a/c load exists even when it is -40 outside. lc

What is the discharge and suction pressure on an central AC unit?

What does it mean when the outside ac unit is icing up?

If you are running unit hard to cool building, then the probable cause is it is working too hard. A residential unit is designed to maintain a set temp. if there is too much difference between inside temp and temp desired the unit will work too hard to " catch up ". solution, turn off ac unit, remove ice build up ( you can use a garden hose ) then set thermostat to 3-4 degrees below indoor temp. Once it has lowered temp, keep going in 3-4 degree increments until temp desired is reached.

If your air conditioner is running outside by not blowing cold air inside through your vent, your indoor coil is frozen. You will need to turn everything off and allow the unit to thaw out.


My central air conditioner does not blow cold air and the unit outside and is not running?

The problem is probably outside. Can`t tell you much more than that from here. The condenser unit outside was not running. I checked the circuit breaker box and found the 220 breaker had been switched off. Turned it back on and now it's running and I'm getting cool air.
