Mack Ch A/c Question


Recommended Posts

Last question on my Red Dot system...... should I insulate, tar wrap or anything else my aluminum block expansion valve on my CH ?

Reason I ask is because I my air temp is only 59 on recirc.( 90's outside ) and my freon temp is 35 so I'm loosing cool somewhere. I've checked the heater valves, closed.

I suspect she's scavenging hot air from the engine room through the piping outlets in the firewall and I'll address that but I don't think that's my guy.

Help?

It will not hurt to wrap the return, (suction) line to the compressor in any fashion. This is the cold line leaving the evaporator coil. Make certain your condensor coil in front of the radiator but behind the CAC is clean. Take a garden hose from the backside and pressure wash everything clean best you can. This will help tremendously.
