Noise I installed a new amana 2ton r410a unit from r22 for a friend. The system runs great, cools great and all pressures are normal but where the line set runs through the wall upward you can hear a swishing sound like water in one bedroom and in attic through the liquid line. any ideas on why, or how to quit?

SOURCE: I have a split unit (3 Ton). It is in a new

There could be several things going on here. First make sure filters are clean and check return air duct. I do this with a sheet of newspaper. with the a/c running I hold the newspaper up to the return, if the return pulls the newspaper to it and holds then duct should be fine. Temp. entering room can vary depending on how long a/c has been running. also check condensation drain in attic make sure it stays open. Also check the water level switch in drain pan if you have one.

SOURCE: not cooling good

while the machine is running, partially block the outdoor fan until the high pressure reaches 270 psi, the low pressure should be 70 psi at this time. This should be true within 10 lbs.

SOURCE: My new Goodman central A/C

You can pick up some soundproofing material from Home Depot et al that will quiet it down a little bit, or you might be able to turn down the fan speed using your thermostat (if your t-stat supports this), but it is most likely a side-effect of your unit kicking on. You might have too big of a unit for your house, or too big of a blower. A service tech would be able to tell you if this was the case, but obviously that's going to cost a bit for them to come out and look at it.

Are you hearing the whooshing noise through your vents in your floor/wall/ceiling, or is it coming straight out of the attic? Depending on your air handler/thermostat, you might be able to set your fan to slowly spin up, rather than going to top speed right away. This would probably make it a little quieter for you. I wouldn't suggest trying to do it on your own however, because (again, depending on your unit) there could be some reason why it does it like this, and/or could be some settings that would be devastating if they were messed with. I would suggest you call in a service tech, unfortunately.

SOURCE: I have an Amana new

All Amana and most other brands have a five year parts warranty, without the model number I would have to say either the thermostat, control wiring which sends a signal to the G terminal may not be working or the blower motor is bad or jammed up.

I have a intertherm T3RC-036K and the label is faded away. Would like to know the design pressures for the high and low side. or someone point me to a site where i can find the info. thanks

I don't use design pressures due to many variables such as ductwork, humidity, blower speed, o.d. temp, I.d. temp ect.... Learn SUPER HEAT AND SUBCOOLING values. Most guages give a pressure/ temperature relationship. At a pressure there is a temp that lines up with that pressure. If its r22 the temp is in the green and pressure is in the white(normally). If r410a temps in the pink. R22- Most evaporator are good between 40-50°F. If your coil is operating at 45°f your superheat value should be 10°-18°. Take the actual temp of the suction line(large copper line that's cold) and subtract that # from the temp on your gauge. The value should be 10-15°. Same on the liquid line. You o.d. coil is usually 90-105°F. The liquid line temp(small copper tube that's warm) subtracted from the pressures temp gives you the SUBCOOL value.
R410a? Subccoling
R22? Superheat and subcooling
If it has an expansion valve? Sub cooling
This method is used to take all the guesswork out of the scenario. BUT! Most of the machines will have a data plate that gives great info for this method. But some only give it in the owners/installation manual. You won't get a good answer to your question but this is the correct way all HVAC technicians SHOULD check freon levels and is the only way if we are achieving designed efficiency. If you know its low on freon, again most coils are "happy" between 40-50°F(68-84psig). And at that temp your high side should be 90-105°F(168-210psig). And again, so many variables! I usually shoot for 95°f o.d. temp, 80low 210high psig and 10° SH 12-18°SC.

What type of refrigerant should be used in a Mitsubishi ms09tw 2001 air conditioner?

The answer is R410A.

Refrigerant Types in a Central Air Conditioner
There are 2 different types of air conditioning refrigerant currently used in residential cooling systems. R-22, commonly referred to a Freon and R410A, a blend considered to be more environmentally friendly, sometimes called Puron.

R410A (sometimes known as Puron), is the industry's choice to replace R-22 in central air conditioning systems. It is less reactive with the environment while having the same home cooling characteristics of R-22. R410A is not interchangeable with R-22-you choose one or the other and your air cooling equipment is designed to operate with it. When you purchase a R-410A system, a new line set is included with your central air installation as well as a new evaporator coil. Our experience with R-410A has been excellent. New cooling systems have been dependable and efficient, as well as operating quieter! R-410A is the refrigerant of the future!

Less reactive with the environment
Replaces R-22 in the year 2020
Cannot be used with R-22 systems
Quiet and dependable
Freon, R22, heat pump refrigerant
R-22 also known as Freon has been used for decades as the refrigerant in central air conditioning systems. However it has been linked to Ozone depletion and has therefore been banned from being manufactured after the year 2010. It's price will increase as the supply decreases.

Good luck,

Where can I find the specs for an earlier Goodman heat pump?

You say 2 to 3 years... I'm assuming the unit is older than that. Especially being r22. What about the first 10 years??? Normally you will get 400 to 500 sqft per ton of cooling, but, that depends on heat load calculations. If the unit wasn't big enough you would have had this issue 10 years ago, not when the system kept running low on refrigerant. At first guess I would say a 2 ton unit is not big enough but if it worked fine for 10 years...wuth all that in mind, if it were me, (a seasoned professional) I would spend 1800 to fix my 15 year old r22 unit before I spent $4000 on a new r410a piece of junk. Best Wishes!!

I have a blown BDP 7.5 ton Condsor unit. The old unit is R22. I want to replace it with a new BDP which has R410A. Question: I am being told that If I flush my old R22 Air Handler Coil & install a TXC...

I've done what you are describing - "however" you could void the warranty on the new condenser - by not having 'matching' coils (inside/outside). I would do some serious checking with whoever you are buying the new condenser from.
Note: I would (if possible) go back with a R-22 condenser unit (price is about the same), and you would not have any 'warranty or matching issues' going on.

Looking to buy 1997 Palm Harbor. Condenser and A Coil stolen. How do I find replacements Without numbers?

get the model number off the inside unit and match it to the outside. you will probably need to convert to R410A because if you are trying to change one unit the law is now you must change both pieces (to R410A from R22). You are probably not going to save much money (and surely you will get a low quality install) trying to go this route. Get a licensed contractor to install a new R410A system and you will also get a rebate from your power company.

Match up Carrier equipment

carrier did sell some systems with R407c as a quick fix to gov regulations for about 2 yrs. R407c is a blend . and is treated like R410a except R407c pressures are more simular to R22. being that the pressures run the same the system should work with out changing any parts that being said if the evaporator has been used for R22 the oil residue wiil give you problems ifit is a new unit you would be ok.
