You pumped down the refrigerant into the condenser coil below ambient pressure sucking non-condensables into the system, no nitrogen when brazing (produces scale which turns to acid in the system), no micron gauge to verify a proper vacuum, no indoor wet bulb temperature reading to properly calibrate super-heat, and you must over ride the low ambient / fan kit to determine the proper refrigerant charge. How do you know how much refrigerant to charge the customer without a refrigerant scale?

@MagicPatrick1 bah. get a heating jacket. run hot water over it.... something. your fired
-
where is your charging scale for proper refrigerant mesurement
-
a micron gauge would help you alont, takes out the guess work. you pull it down to 500 microns it suck just about the right amout of refrigerant it needs

Why did the fan stop running and the compressor kelp running.
why would you come back later to finish charging it? 4 trips for a leaky evap. coil. Times have changed man, cant just stick hand on suction line anymore. i think ya need to read up on the refrigeration circuit my friend. and please stop leaving taped up run capacitors hanging in equipment. I dont thing i can say that enough.

@hvacbuck It was cold out!

manifold gauge will only tell you that your in a vaccum but not accurate enough to tell you how deep in the unit that you are

@kennetters Fan cycling switch. It's a commercial application that often calls for air in low ambient conditions. On the high side (liquid line) schrader is what looks like a high pressure switch. But instead of breaking power to the contactor coil and manual reset, it's actually set at a much lower pressure. On pressure rise, it closes through the fan.
