High head pressure is due to the lack of heat removal during the condensing process of the refrigerant cycle. The outdoor condenser is there to transfer the heat out and condense the refirgerant into a liquid. When ever the condenser is dirty or the fan motor is not working right the result is an increase in temp. and since pressure and temp are directly related the refirgerant pressure is increased thus the term high head

What kind of head pressure would you see if the condenser fan became inoperative?
Very high
Why can't a window air condition be installed in a sleeve?
A window already has a casing around it to protect and allow condenser venting. An air conditioner that is made for a sleeve has no protective shell around it, so if you put a window air conditioner in a sleeve you will not get good air circulation from the fan that cools off the condenser. That will result in high pressure at the compressor, high temperature at the condenser and high temperature at the evaporator. This will result in poor cooling and probable compressor failure which will allow you to go out and buy an air conditioner that is designed for a sleeve.
Advantage of high pressure boiler over high pressure boiler?
advanatages of high pressure boilers
Why would your air conditioner have a normal suction pressure and low head pressure with a 14 degree temperature difference?
What type of low head pressure are we talking about? List the pressures and refrigerant type along with the indoor and outdoor conditions at the time the pressures were observed and we can be of more help. I've done a few new installs lately. residential splits, r22 and normal conditions say 80 degrees and not humid. when charging the units i was getting a good suction pressure, around 68-70psi, the suction line was coming back nice a cold and the liquid line was warm. but for some reason i was getting a super low head pressure, around 150-175psi. any ideas cause im at a loss. i did everything right and the systems were even running great. any help would be appreciated. if the indoor space was warm that wouldn't drop my head pressure right, i thought it would be high
Why an air conditioner is placed high up on the wall?
Heat rises, so placing the air conditioner high allows the unit to cool the hottest air that is at the top of the room.
A clogged air conditioner condenser would cause what?
high head pressure and a higher supply temp.
What causes high head pressure and normal suction pressure in a air conditioner?
non condensebles in system dirty cond coil high ambient poss over charge
What causes high head pressure in a air conditioner?
5 Causes of high head pressure: 1.) Dirty condenser tubes 2.) High temp entering condenser water 3.) Low flow of condenser water 4.) Water bypassing at division plate 5.) Non-condensables in the system
Why would your air conditioner have a normal to slightly high suction pressure and low head pressure with a 3 to 5 degree temperature difference?
What you're describing sounds suspiciously like a worn compressor.
How do you remove the low pressure valve for recharging air conditioner on a 1999 Ford Expedition?
relieve the pressure off the high pressure side
Where is the location of a low pressure valve to an air conditioner of a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier?
It don't have a low pressure valve. the high pressuer sensor is in the high pressure line next to the raditor. It don't have a low pressure valve. the high pressuer sensor is in the high pressure line next to the raditor.
In air conditioner units is the larger copper refrigerant pipe the low or high pressure side of the system?
it is the low pressure side
Recharged auto air conditioner to the high side?
Recharging should be on low-pressure side only
How do you install coolant an air conditioner in a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina?
remove the air filter assembly and the low pressure and high pressure service ports are there with caps on them.
What is the definition of east wind?
Hi, The wind or air that moving from east from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
What is a short definition of an anitcyclone?
An anticyclone is a pressure cell with a high pressure center. The flow of the air associated with it is known as anticylonic.
What causes low head pressure in a air conditioner?
Have a 2.5 ton h/p with 67 psi low & 140 high psi. (R-22) . Cooling ok , why such low pressure on high side? Ambient temp. 88 F. To determine the head pressure consider the condenser coil surface area, if it is large and high efficiency go ambient plus 25F convert to pressure according to refrigerant used. Design conditions are 95 ambient and 80 indoor, you will have approx. a 125F condensing temp which with R22 will be about 270 psi. you need to take the 88 and add 25 or 30 and convert to pressure, the head pressure must be at least 100 psi above the low side for a cap tube to operate normally.
