Default Re: Do you measure Delta T?

Mr Currins:

The air conditioning system could not be tested as the outdoor temperature was below 60 degrees F.

This is not even a correct statement according to new info a compressor should not be operated below 65 F. You can test below 65 F but I will not.
Just because it is in the SOP does not mean you are protected if you damage the compressor.
FYI all my reports have the Temperature during inspection.

Here we go again...

According to "who", and wheres the documentation???

One manufacturer does not dictate a change in industry standards.
