Question: A walk-in freezer operating on R-404A exhibits low box temperature, frosted suction line back to the compressor, and excessively high suction pressure. The TXV has a sensing bulb securely attached to the suction line. What is the most probable issue with the TXV setting?
Answer options:
- The TXV is set for excessively high superheat. ✅ The TXV is set for excessively low superheat (overfeeding).
- The TXV's equalizer line is plugged.
- The TXV's sensing bulb has lost its charge.
