Ok, back in business. I adjusted the superheat up one full turn on the valve to eliminate doubt about slugging the compressor. It was a good thing. Now I have a larger temp spread and more heat when it gets cold.I'm starting to trust this thing.
check valve, cap tube,liquid line service port
condenser side of things... txv, filter drier,and strainer loop came out of a scrapped lennox. White wire is defrost thermistor.
reversing valve and sensing bulb for txv. I had to insulate some lines to keep the txv from hunting. before it's finished, most all vapor lines will be insulated.
