The Components & Accessories category winners include a reversible drive socket tool, a condensate pump, and a trap that allows for easier drain-line maintenance of HVAC condensate systems.
Liquid line restrictions cause the evaporator, compressor, and condenser to be starved of refrigerant, causing performance problems in refrigeration systems.
As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is especially true when a replacing a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV).
Even though the circulated refrigerant is the working fluid required for cooling, lubricant or oil is needed for lubrication of the compressor’s moving mechanical parts.
