What's your A/C air temp ? 700

Hi all,

I am just wondering what the normal A/C air temp should be on a r134a converted system when blowing on say the number 2 setting (recirculate). Please post any temp info you have. Thanks.

Here is the problem. I had previously done the conversion to r134a and my temp output would go as low as 38, but I suspect I was getting ice buildup because of the huge amount of water that would drain out once the car sat for a while. (long enough for it to melt. I also had fog blowing out the vents constantly) That was with a variable orafice valve. Now I just got finished installing a new parallel flow condenser with everything else the same. My new temp output is only getting down to 50 or so at highway speeds, and down to 40 with the car running slow.

I am wondering if the lower high side pressure caused by the parallel flow condenser is causing the VOV to not work just right. Perhaps I should go back to the fixed orafice.

Thanks for any info on the temps.

R Duke
