Now it's 81, and the pipes are a little hot/cold WTF

classicman · 07-07-2010, 08:17 PM

Whats going on? Which pipes are hot? IS there cold air blowing? Icing up anywhere?

Undertoad · 07-07-2010, 08:24 PM

When it stops cooling, the input and output pipes are the same temp... now the hot pipe is hot and the cold pipe is cold and it's 5 degrees colder than it was when I first reported in, although it's still about 6 degrees hotter than it should be and it's 9:30. I haven't taken off the thingie to check for ice but that is a good idea.

I keep wondering whether it would help to spray down the outdoor coils with water. I hear this is a new technology, heat pumps that help themselves cool with a mist.

classicman · 07-07-2010, 08:29 PM

is it a new system? Whens the last time the coils were cleaned?
Had a recharge recently? Are you checking at the outdoor unit or the blower?
How is the air flow -does it feel like the normal amount coming out and is it cold?

Undertoad · 07-07-2010, 08:30 PM

At the blower, I just took off the thingie and the coils are cold but not ice-cold. Airflow is pretty normal but maybe warmer than it should be. It was recharged last year, both outdoor and indoor unit are like 10 years. The thing is a fuckin' nightmare and always has been.

Yesterday's high of 90 surpassed the old record of 88 set in 1953. Today we're expecting to reach 94 degrees, just before the city bursts into flames.

Sundae · 07-08-2010, 11:53 AM

Just been sat outside with the 'rents.
Was a horribly low-clouded humid day earlier, but we had sunshine from about 16.00 - which is when the sun finally hits the decking here.

About 27, (82) but curiously felt okay.
Probably because we were drinking Pimms and lemonade with lots of ice and fruit!

skysidhe · 07-08-2010, 07:23 PM

95 f. right now! whoo hoo.

Very grateful it didn't develop! I was half-expecting to come out of the hospital at the end of the day to find my car upside down somewhere in the football stadium (the football stadium is at the end of the hospital parking lot). And that'd be the least of anyone's worries, of course. So, glad it failed to come together.

I'd just arrived here last year when the superstorm that apparently was a derecho came through. We were at a welcome party for all the new residents, sitting in a faculty member's backyard under a big rented tent that accommodated 100, with rented tables, chairs, etc. We saw the storm coming, looked at each other, said WTF and repaired to the basement. Some of the tables were flung against the fence at the edge of the yard and remained, but the chairs went awol and the tent simply disappeared. And we lost power for more than 24 hours and I got to use my hand-cranked radio for the first time! Even better, it worked.
