Re: [A/S] Air Conditioning



Thanks for the info Don.  I'm trying to gather
information from other A/S like you so that I can be
armed if the dealer attempts to tell me that nothing
is wrong.  

On Sunday 3 P.M. it was 96 and the inside air
temperature was almost 87.  My 20 degree drop across
the coils was not going to overcome that outside heat
gain.  Consider at 8:00 A.M. we were at 72 degrees
inside and cycling the compressor.  At 10 A.M. the
compressor stayed on steady until almost 9 P.M.

I know automobiles use a 40 degree drop standard to
overcome the heat gain from the glass.  I would think
that 30 is probably more in line for an RV unit.

Thanks again for your information.  It will come in
handy.

Jack
