Hi Guys,

I had my TXV and dryer replaced couple weeks ago. Low side was 45. Not sure of high side. In shop duct outlet was 60 degrees. Shop temp about 90.

Took trip, air temp 90. Duct temp was 60. Road speed ram air over condenser made no difference.

I found a chart that" I Think" says that @ 90 degrees, low side will be 45-50psi and high side will be 250-270. @ 45psi on the low side the temp of the evap will be 49.61 degrees. Thus the 60 degrees out of the dash is about right?

Question: Since this is a motorhome, the proper charge amount is unknown, do you think it is doing all it can do, or should I expect some more cooling capacity?

This is the first summer I have been in these temps. In past summers, I have been in cooler locations, 70"-80's.

Thanks Jim

Refer back to your original thread here:

You still have no high side pressures. Impossible to diagnose fully without them.

You are likely undercharged, as I said in your last thread. The "chart" you found is meaningless drivel - if all you could get out of a system was a 30 degree delta, we would never have frozen food.
