R-22 systems have the lowest head pressure for residential split systems. As of 1-1-2010, they are no longer being produced. R-22 is being phased out completely.
If you are looking at a new system, the R402a systems are much more "green" and cool very nicely. Blowin Snowballs!
Poor compressor performance should result in low head pressure as the system cools better than the compressor can pump.
The head pressure and compressor current would normally rise (strong winds and/or rain and/or very low air temperatures will reduce this effect). Less heat would be removed from the refrigerant and therefore deliver less cooling.
The pressure exerted by the pressure head of liquid steel in a container at bottom surface of the container is known as ferro static pressure.
If the pressure in the cylinder is below the vapour pressure , dissolved gasses will be liberated from the liquid and cavitations will takes place . The continuous flow of liquid will not exit which means separation of liquid takes place. The pressure at which separation takes place is called separation pressure and head corresponding to the separation pressure is called separation pressure head.
I think, that's refer from your system. If you manipulate the surface pressure of the water, you will get a big value of water suction head with higher surface pressure. CMIIW....
It is due to pressure rising due to a bad condenser fan motor, bad capacitor, obstructing of airflowat the condenser, or a dirty condnser.
Excessive head pressure.
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
Very high
check condenser
high head pressure and a higher supply temp.
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

Poor compressor performance should result in low head pressure as the system cools better than the compressor can pump.
water as a coolant
The simplest and lowest cost solution is to replace the shower head with one designed to increase the pressure.
The head pressure and compressor current would normally rise (strong winds and/or rain and/or very low air temperatures will reduce this effect). Less heat would be removed from the refrigerant and therefore deliver less cooling.
