OK I have a76 Eleganza and I need some a/c advice. I have adequate airflow but feel like I am not getting the temperature low enough. I'm using duracool and at 1500 rpm I have 20 lbs of pressure. I do not believe I have a leak.
It's 90 degrees here today and the air coming out of the vent is around 60 degrees. I think it should do better. The hose in the engine compartment that should be cold is actually just cool.
Additionally, I have a second blower box behind the driver seat. My understanding is that this blower runs off the engine compressor and yet, the air coming out of that blower is suddenly warm.
And the suction (large) line is at about ambient temperature, maybe more. There's not a heater element in that unit. Since this is a "closed" system much like if you had rear air in a Suburban what could be causing the difference between the dash air and this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
