This Compressor Looked Dead, But a Stuck TXV Caused High Pressure & Bypass - Jamie Kitchen Part 2

What's an example of where you would see it? Would we see it in air conditioning at all? Frozen beverage

Jamie KitchenGUEST
It's kind of funny because, to be honest with you, and a lot of people don't realize this, is AXVs also can become good hot gas bypass valves because of the way they're designed.

Jamie KitchenGUEST
Well, if you're trying to keep a compressor running, say you have a paint booth, two thirds of your crew goes out for lunch.

But the assumption is that the inside conditions are not going to vary that much.

Jamie KitchenGUEST
This isn't like a cooler that goes to a freezer that goes to a wine cooler, right? It's, you know, between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius, you know, 70, 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jamie KitchenGUEST
And so the humidity accounts for the vast majority of the load change indoors.

So everything that you're saying here, if we go ahead and we charge a system that has an orifice and we put too much refrigerant in, we have a very, very good chance that we could cause that compressor to flood back on a really, really hot day.
