So I did let out a small amount of gas, since I only started with 2.7 oz it seems unlikely it could be overcharged. And I will be using 18v to the fan which you can see by the T air out of evap is now only about 4 to 6 F lower than air in.



I shut it down at 95F water temp because it didn't seem to make an improvement.
Going from 85.0 to 95.0F took .153 kwh or 104% of theoretical.

In most of the tests i have run there is enough SC & SH to know that there has been a full change of phase, does any excess get any real benefit.

My concern is the gas out of the compressor has been running in the 160 to 170 range around 25F over saturation temp. It makes me think something is wrong with compressor. I am not planning on throwing a bigger compressor on because I want more power, it's just that I have one that I can try.

The P1 is suction pressure, for the winter when my basement air is around 55F I'd like to see it around 60psi which would have a saturation temp of 37F. In the summer when ambient is around 70F and humid I think it should be around 75psi with 48F saturation temp.
