thanks for the information. its already deleted sir.
sir may i know that is the maximum suction and discharge pressure using r22. thank you very much

RE: compressor low suction pressure

Ask your refrigeration mechanic.

RE: compressor low suction pressure

In my opinion, if both suction and discharge pressure is low, it would be refrigerant charging low.But, if suction side is low and discharge is very high, it may block something in condenser tube and exp valve.

RE: compressor low suction pressure

Low suction pressure can also indicate poor airflow over the evaporator coil. Get a 608 qualified technician to put a set of gauges onto your system to verify superheat, as well as verifying airflow and fan speeds on the system.
