Title: Anyone got HGBV adjustment experience with modern refrigerants?
Post by: bigoilman on August 21, 2025, 03:49:38 PM
I rebuilt mine but adjusting it makes little difference to the pressures. I got it down to 47# (spec is 30#) but that's all it'll do.  I'm using Envirosafe and the pressures should actually be lower than R12 or R134a specs but it's not happening.

System is blowing mid-high 40s air.  Maybe I'm expecting too much?  I'm used to getting low 40s output.

I added a 16" Spal pusher fan to the condenser too.
