Assuming the refrigerant is R-22 and that the metering device is not a TX valve:

1. Determine air delivery system is operating properly by removing air filter(s), cleaning blower fan wheel, and (where applicable) replacing the fan belt.
2. Determine the size of the condensing unit in tons (1 ton = 12,000 BTUs). For every ton of cooling, you need a minimum of 350-400 CFM of airflow.
3. Measure the airflow. You can use the temperature rise method (measuring return and supply temperatures after 10 minutes of heating, and clocking the meter for natural gas), a hotwire anenometer, or a rotating-vane anenometer. Ensure that it matches or exceeds the requirements of 350-400 CFM/ton. Rectify if the airflow is too low.
4. Measure the return air Wet Bulb (not Dry Bulb) temperature.
5. Measure the outdoor air Dry Bulb temperature.
6. Most equipment will give charging charts indicating the proper superheat or subcooling readings for the R.A. Wet Bulb and outdoor Dry Bulb. If you can find nothing, you do not want to exceed 10 F degrees superheat (measured at the outlet of the evaporator coil) or go below 15 F degrees subcooling (measured at the liquid line leaving the condensing unit).

How do you know if your AC compressor is over chaged?

If the unit was freezing the evaporator before you charged it and now you do not have cooling, you may have overcharged it. The best way to determine this is to have a certified AC technician check the actual pressures of the system as most do it yourself cans do not have acurate gauges. The compressor may run constantly, but not cool or the compressor may run and then blow a fuse or the compressor may run and there is no cooling, but the only way to acurately determine an overcharge is to measure the pressure with accurate gauges.


Does the Danby DWC350BLP have thermal electric cooling?

No, the Danby DWC350BLP does not have thermoelectric cooling. It uses a compressor-based cooling system for efficient cooling of your beverages.


Why is sweating a useful cooling device for humans?

Sweating is extremely efficient at cooling humans down. It works by causing liquid to come out of a person's pores. When the liquid evaporates, the person's body starts to cool down.


Sweating cools the body by what?

Sweating cools the body by evaporating off the skin, which helps to dissipate heat and lower body temperature.

Why does sweating decrease body temperature?

Sweating decreases body temperature because when sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes heat with it, cooling the body down.


Why does sweating lower body temperature?

Sweating lowers body temperature because when sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes heat with it, cooling the body down.


Is sweating on a hot day an example of conduction?

No, sweating on a hot day is an example of evaporation. The sweat on your skin evaporates, taking heat with it and cooling your body down.
