I have a BD50
compressor that runs a
cooling plate in our ice box. The
boat sat for several years before we purchased her and I am currently working thru all the systems. The Ice box was something I did evacuate last year with a pum and guages. Per a couple YT Chanel’s I added R134a to the system at 11psi. I ran the unit for a week but turned it off last year.
Yesterday I started the unit up- the plate wasn’t getting cool and I didn’t have my gauge set- but I did have a can of Freon and added to the system. The unit now is freezing the large plate- it’s drawing right at 7.5 amps but the
compressor is freaking hot - 160F-170F.
I’m assuming I overcharged the system and the
RPM of the compressor is causing the heat.
I know something isn’t correct.
I have read the BD anp thread several times.
Anything I can do to recheck the system.
