you can probably get away with that just make sure you have an expansion valve on the evaporator. An expansion valve will keep liquid from getting back to the compressor.

Why would you install a 2.5 ton condenser to a 3 ton evaporator coil?

Installing a 2.5-ton condenser with a 3-ton evaporator coil can be done to optimize energy efficiency or manage specific load requirements. The smaller condenser may reduce energy consumption, as it won't overcool the space, potentially leading to less frequent cycling and improved humidity control. However, this setup can also lead to reduced cooling capacity and may not perform effectively during peak demand, so it's essential to ensure that the system's balance meets the cooling needs of the space. Proper sizing and compatibility are crucial for optimal performance.


How far should oil-trap has to be from 20 ton ac unit?

Half way between the the condenser and air handler, in the liquid line.


Will a 4 ton condenser unit work with a 3 ton furnace?

not very well. a 4 ton system needs about 1600 cfm to provide it's full capacity of cooling. a 3 ton furnace puts out about 1200 cfm. in addition, the evap coil typically attached to the furnace needs to match the tonnage of the outdoor unit. so, the evap coil must be 4 tons. If you currently have a 3 ton furnace and evap coil, the system will not work, and you will most likely ruin the compressor in the outdoor unit.


Will a 5 ton a c condensing unit work with a 4 ton coil?

Yes, a 5-ton AC condensing unit can work with a 4-ton evaporator coil, but it may not operate optimally. The mismatch can lead to issues such as reduced efficiency and potential short cycling, as the larger condensing unit may cool the space too quickly without allowing the coil to effectively absorb heat. It's generally recommended to match the sizes of the condensing unit and coil for optimal performance and efficiency. Always consult with an HVAC professional for specific compatibility concerns.


What is the meaning of standard ton of refrigeration?

A Ton is the measurement of the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice. It is also 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) So the Ton is a measurement of the amount of heat that the refrigeration system can remove.

Can you install a 3.5 ton condenser on a 3 ton evaporator?

Installing a 3 1/2 ton condenser on a 3 tr evaporator will not function properly. There isn't enough evaporator coil surface area to absorb heat and vaporize refrigerant liquid for its return back to the condenser compressor. What can be done is a 3 ton condenser unit with a 3 1/2 evaporator coil.


What size evaporator will work a 2 ton condenser?

1.5 ton evaporator


Can a 3.5 ton evaporator be used with a 4 ton condenser?

yes it can. you can you can only downsize a coil by .5 tons or up .the flowrator piston have to be be changed according the the condenser size don't ever try to go more than1/2 ton it would damage the system.


What ton unit should you have inside if you have a 4 ton ac outside?

It depends on the cooling load for the home. air conditioners are sized and rated as a matched system consisting of the condenser and evaporator. The capacity of the system changes with the different evaporators. Usually you use either the same size as the condenser or 1/2 ton larger.


Can a 4 ton indoor evaporation unit be matched to a 3 ton condenser unit to make it more efficient?

No. It will be less efficient.

Do you have to have a 4 ton coil for a 4 ton ac unit?

The rating is technically a minimum. You could use a larger coil and have it work. But if its a Evaporator coil it will need to be matched on the far end with a similar or larger condenser coil. If the Condenser coil is larger it will probably just take a little more refrigerant.
