About a year and half ago I renovated the dash air (type 2) in my Palm Beach. Part of the renovation was the installation of a new Sanden compressor I bought from Applied, new receiver/dryer and expansion valve. I continued the use of HC-12 as refrigerant. After a through flushing, vacuuming and testing for leaks, I charged the system to 20 lbs on the low side @ 1,500 RPM. Since then, it has not been that hot where I needed dash air.
However, this past month has seen temps during my travels in the high 80s and low 90's with high humidity. I am now running dash air continuously. I am getting nice cold air, but I've noticed my Sanden is very noisy when engaged. So loud, that if that noise is standard with Sandens, I wish I had kept the A6 installed since I never heard it run. I only replaced it because people here recommended I get one. Now I am not so sure since I would like to add a 2nd evaporator and Sandens have less capacity than the venerable A6.
Am I the only one with a loud Sanden AC compressor?
