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!

A clogged air conditioner condenser would cause what?

high head pressure and a higher supply temp.


What is definition of high head pressure in a air conditioner?

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


Four methods for controlling head pressure in an aircooled condenser are?

fan cycling.3 way modulating valve


Is poor compressor can cause high head pressure in an air cooled condenser?

Poor compressor performance should result in low head pressure as the system cools better than the compressor can pump.


What may be used on an air cooled condenser with a fan to prevent the head pressure from becoming too low in mild weather?

water as a coolant


How can I get higher water pressure in my shower faucets?

The simplest and lowest cost solution is to replace the shower head with one designed to increase the pressure.


What would the head pressure do if the fan motor on an air-cooled condenser stopped working?

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.
