Split type Air conditioner

Hello bibo

You do not say whom the Reviewer is paid by:

1. The Architect or Engineer who put out the works to tender
   
2. The Tenderer
3. The Main (Head) Contractor
4. The Air-Conditioning Subcontractor
5. The Army
   
6. The Seller of the Air-Conditioning equipment, which will not properly work in Iraq
7. Other - Specify please

Reading the information in your Post, because that Air-Conditioner as supplied will not work at more than 43 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in the intended installation position exceeds that 43 degrees Celsius almost every day, there is only the single conclusion to be made:

The Air conditioner unit is not satisfactory, and should be replaced at the cost of whomever made the error, either because the Specification was incorrect = Specification Writer pays), or the A/C equipment Supplier if the A/C unit specification was correctly written (as it appears from your Post), and not properly understood.

In short, both the Persons who write Specifications, and Equipment Suppliers are rated as "Experts", who should know their responsibility under Contract Law.

Thus whoever made the error, wherever they are in the chain of events, is the party which pays for that error.

Partial recovery of the costs, may be made by the Party which made the error, on-selling that A/C unit elsewhere, another Country or Location, which location is within the operational temperature range, etc. of the design specifications of the A/C unit.

Hope that assists you.

Kind Regards....

From the field;

I have an opinion that there is something wrong with the installation or the A/C set-up. In Las Vegas if I specify an A/C unit I always request a unit that will operate at 46*c. Most standard A/C unit are rated for 35*c. Having said that I would go through some basic system trouble shooting and find out why "it won't work" at 43*c. It should work to a point. A good working (clean unit with clean filters) should have a -6.6*c (20*f) delta across the system. I hope I express the c value correctly. Cat please help me here.

I would ask

Are both coils clean?

Is the filter (s) clean?

Are the indoor and outdoor fans running at the proper speed?

Is it possible that the amp draw is low because your applied voltage may be wrong?

How large is your unit? If you get stuck with it let me know maybe I can buy it from you?

SHADE THE OUTSIDE UNIT OR IT WILL FREEZE UP RIGHT?
