Checking for Blockage in Air-To-Air Evaporator or Condensers
1. Remove panels to gain access to coil return bends or hairpins.
2. Press SET and then press / to select relatively high emissivity for copper tube.
3. Start the refrigeration system.
4. Aim the thermometer at coil turn bends/hairpins.
5. Start recording temperature.
6. Take temperature of each return bend/hairpin.
• All evaporator return bends/hairpins should be at or slightly above evaporator saturation temperature from the
pressure/temperature chart.
• All condenser return bend/hairpins should be at or slightly less than condenser saturation temperature.
• If a group of return bends/hairpins do not conform to expected temperatures, that indicates a blocked
or restricted distributor or distributor tube.
