Troubleshooting

Mounting a sensor into the condenservs. 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

cyclesonandoff.

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

mountingitontheliquidline.Aspotonthecondenserthatis100°Fwhenthepressuresarecorrectisideal.
