Troubleshooting
Mounting a sensor into the condenservs. mounting it on the liquid line
Whenasensorismountedintothecondenser,thecontrolrespondsmorerapidlytochangesinheadpressurethan
whenitismountedontheliquidline.Thisisespeciallytrueforhighefciencycondensers.
Whenthesensorismountedontheliquidline,thecontrolrespondsmoreslowlyandtheresultcanbeafanthat

Therefore,wheneverpossible,itispreferabletomountthesensorintheupper1/3ofthecondenserinsteadof
