This unit has a new compresser, cap tube and a clean condenser. Uses R134A, won't go below 45 degrees. It has a weighed in charge and the temp control is fine. Suction line is cool not cold. Any ideas?

Yeah, you're fuqued. Bubba
Did you vacuum out the air, before weighing the charge? Might be a bunch of air in the system.
Stormy (you stupid hack on backup brain) He should not be using a shop vac to vaccum out the air. He should use the right tools for the job unlike you you hack. Bubba
Yea had Vac pump on it for 3 hrs. Replaced strainer with a dryer.
*** It has a weighed in charge***
***Replaced strainer with a dryer.***
Think about it. You've just answered your own question. ;-)

Everybody knows you need a 16 gal, 2 HP shop vac. Can't you say somthing constructive for once?
What's the pressures, temps, super heat, and sub cooling?
Ive said it over and over and over................. Rock Head Bash. Do you need a diagram? Bubba
Hi side about 150 low side about 15. Cap tube system, can't get at it to check super heat. Thinking about converting it to a txv system but with a 1/4 hp compresser i would never find a small enough valve.
You're stupid.
Salad unit sounds like you want 35F or so, to keep the salads cold but not frosty. With those pressures, it sounds like it's not metering enough refrigerant. I'm wondering if the cap tube is too small, or too long.
Are you converting what was formerly a R-12 system? 134A needs a larger cap tube ID, as 134A doesn't carry as much heat. Maybe try a R-12 replacement blend like 409A, which runs in R-12 systems.
Low side 15 sounds a bit low, as though the system was starving.

....wow!
This is all just a Technical I.Q. test, Stormy. That's all. Regardless of what other troubles are or are not present.
First he said,,,
*** It has a weighed in charge***
and then he said,,,
***Replaced strainer with a dryer.***The clues are asterisked.
Here, let me help.
What event has happened to prevent accurately charging via refrigerant weight anymore, and why?

Yep, nowadays with plastic surgery we CAN fix ugly. But still... nothing for stupid.
ISTR, Carolina Breeze tried to go out of his way and help him a few years back. Phone calls/conversations and all. Didn't go well.

Steve loaded heaps of crude language on me, via usenet. I finally filtered out his posts. He's never talked to me on the phone. If he did the crude language on the phone, I'd have to hang up on him.
CB called you out as the Hack that you are... Plain and Simple.
Not sure what happened to CB...I have been looking for his posts. I will say that he went out of his way to help me out. I was stationed in Korea and had a new unit installed in Va. He sent me several emails and answered questions for me and really helped. I would like to hear from him again just so I can offer him my thanks.
