WHEN YOUR AC LINE IS FROZEN, THIS IS WHAT IS LIKELY HAPPENING.

This can be attributed to several variables. These include low refrigerant, refrigerant leaks, accumulation of dirt on coils, dirty filters, and other restrictions of air flow from your system.

Perhaps you have noticed that your AC isn’t quite cooling your home the way it should. Temperatures are rising indoors and you go outside to check your unit and see if you can find the problem.

Despite the summer temperatures, you notice that your AC line is frozen and covered in ice. One or more factors might be causing a frozen AC line.

Poor Airflow over the Evaporator Coil
When the evaporator coils on an air conditioning unit become too cold, the ac unit pipes freeze. This is the primary reason behind frozen AC lines. The evaporator coils inside an air conditioning unit are filled with refrigerant. A properly functioning AC system extracts the warm air from inside your home and sends it through your air conditioner, where the evaporator coils cool the warm air, then redistribute it back into the home.

If the airflow leading into the air conditioner is obstructed, it can cause the evaporator coils to become too cold, therefore causing the copper lines attached to your condenser to freeze. Here are some common factors as to why an air conditioning system can develop poor airflow:

Dirty Air Filter
You should be changing your air filter on a monthly basis. If it becomes dirty and clogged, it will prevent air from flowing through the unit and allow the coils to freeze.

Supply Vents are Closed
Some homeowners assume that closing supply vents in rooms that aren’t being used will put less stress on their unit and lower their utility bills. However, this practice can limit air flow and lead air conditioners to freeze.

Return Vents are Blocked
Vents are also used to suck air into the unit and play an important role in proper air flow These can also become blocked and cause the unit to malfunction.

Broken Fan or Blower
A broken fan won’t be able to send enough air over the evaporator coil. The fan is responsible for not only pulling warm air into the system but also pushing cold air into the home through the ductwork and vents. When something goes wrong with the blower motor or fan, your AC system will stop working properly, it will become difficult to cool your home and your AC line could freeze.

Dirty Evaporator Coil
Just as dirt can block the air filter and cause problems, a dirty evaporator coil will also prevent proper air flow. Regular maintenance will help you avoid this problem.

What to do:
Regardless of the refrigerant leak cause, it’s nearly impossible for a homeowner to resolve the problem independently. Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical, and only professional technicians should handle it.

Nevertheless, to troubleshoot any of these potential issues, follow these steps.

1. First, check your vents. These include the air vents that push air into your spaces and the return vents that pull air back through your AC system. Make sure they are clean, open, and unobstructed.
2 Then, check your air filter to ensure it is clean and allows air to flow through. AC system air filters will be inside of your return vents. When you open the vent cover, visually inspect the filter. If it is brown or covered in dirt and lint that you can see, it’s probably time to replace it.
3. Next, you’ll check the blower fan for your air conditioner. To do this, go to the thermostat that controls the AC unit and switch it from COOL to OFF. Then, locate the fan controls on the thermostat and switch the fan from AUTO to ON. When your fan is “ON,” it will blow air even if the AC isn’t running a cooling cycle. Doing so means more warm air will blow over the evaporator coils to help defrost the pipes. Leave the fan ON and the AC system OFF for 3 to 4 hours before turning the system back to COOL.
4. If you still see ice on the pipes after completing the first 3 steps, it’s time to call in experts. An AC technician can inspect your vents and the inside of your AC system to see if they are the cause of your issue.

Thanks for your response, I don't know if you have any idea of a good technician around lagos, the ones I’m seeing are not trustworthy or maybe they no sabi the work

I know this is not related here but I have checked NL no exact live thread that talks about AC.

Please what’s the cause of this, I’ve called an AC technician to fix it, unfortunately it’s not up to a month it starts again and the werey is not ready to come back .

Please what’s the cause of this I’m worried so it won’t spoil the AC

It will freeze out like this and stops working, when it melts it picks up again

this is my football field. That Sako charger is 12v LifePo4 blue battery charger and it charges battery to 14.6 which is ideal for LifePo4 battery. Using laptop charger may damage the battery especially if the BMS is not a strong one. Laptop charger voltage is 18.5v to 19v which is totally wrong for a 12v battery.

Thank you very much, you really sabi. It’s actually LiFePO4 battery charger. I’ve been looking for where to get another one since the one I’m using got spoilt a while ago

Hello guys, please which of this wires should I connect to each other ? Is it blue with blue or otherwise.

Don’t mind my question I’m Just a DIY person.

My second question is my battery charger which is tagged “A” in the picture uploaded with the following rating
INPUT:AC100V-240V~2.0A
MAX 47-63Hz,
OUTPUT:14.6V, 5.0A
is faulty.

I got a laptop charger which is tagged “B” in the picture uploaded with following rating
INPUT:AC100V-240V~1.6A
MAX 50-60Hz,
OUTPUT:18.5V, 3.5A

Will it charge the battery efficienciently

I will advise that you buy a new one rather than repair because how sure are you that the charger is going to be optimal after repair

Been looking for where to buy but didn’t see.
If anyone can recommend this particular around Lagos I will appreciate

Please is anyone familiar with this charger. It’s LiFePO4 battery charger. Who has the idea of where I can get it fixed in Lagos

Solohitt555:

If the drop in performance is much, those lines could be micro-cracks that are growing to macro-cracks, resulting from rough transport and storage, esp load stresses. Very often panel stacking limits are not respected, even from origins.
Voltage (Voc) test may not reveal the problem. Try a short cct current test.

Pls how do I do this

whiteMandingo:


i have similar, but shorter cracks on my 10yr old panels, and also experiencing reduced harvest.

lemme know if u find a solution.

my theory is moisture is enteing the panels through those cracks and degrading it, leading to reduced harvest

What I could get was maybe it’s this weather

Valto:
the present weather conditions might be the cause. solar production has dropped a bit since December.

Thanks for this info, I suspected this could be the reason too but not too sure

Dam5reey:


The Cell at the edge seems to be broken, that Panel will great affect your harvest especially if it's connected in series with some panels..

It's like having a shade on the panel.. Anyways investigate further.. Check the Voltage output on the panel..

Thanks
I’ve checked the voltage output is still thesame but the only thing I observed is that it takes more time to charge my battery unlike before. Could it be the thunder strike that caused the lines on the panel

Hello guys
I noticed these line traces all over my solar panel. What does it mean ?

Or could it be the reason why I’ve been having low amp supply lately?

Please who knows how much National directorate of employment NDE FRSC and INEC pay as salary for their fresh intake

dollarnaira:


He was trying to say that d 1000w is the maximum, usable only for just few mins.

500w load can be run continually for as long as your battery can carry you.

That is, never run ur inverter too close to its capacity e.g a 1000w is safely run at 500w etc

Hope this is ABC enough?

Infact it’s really 123 enough, thanks very much

Dam5reey:


Check you manual for Continuous power rating..
Most are usually 1000w Peak and 500w continuous.

I don’t have the manual anymore. Pls simplify your response to make me understand

Good everyone
I have an inverter(SOUER) of 1000watts capacity and 40 amps battery
Can I use it power a 700 watts toaster without any damages to my system

Hi everyone
Can I charge with solar panel and electricity at thesame time.
And who has used cosmos battery before

Penuelseun:
Depends on the type of desktop powerpack you get. This is the type I use. But mind you, the max output voltage of this is 12.9v, but maybe you can get other types with higher voltage

Thanks for showing. Let’s assume I’ve gotten this desktop power power pack can you put me tru how to go ahead with the connections

Secondly can laptop charger serve this purpose

GeorgeD1:


depending on the grade/quality, gel batteries are fine. however, they are not as forgiving as agm batteries when
subject to abuse. just make sure you get a reliable charger to go with it and ensure you don't routinely dip them
beyond 80% dod.

I think it’s better I opt for AGM batteries since they can afford dip occasionally.
I ask this question because I know of a solar installer who mainly used “MAXIMUM” batteries for his customers. I’m kind of inquisitive to why he’s doing that.
I can’t ask him because I feel he won’t be sincere with his answer. He was the one that advised I can be using car battery as substitute for my LiFePO4 but unfortunately the results from the car battery is not encouraging so I had to stop using it. Since then I don’t want to agree with his advices again.

So oga George, your sincere opinion will be appreciated

Hello guys I’m thinking of of getting a gel battery. Pls do anyone have a reservations , advice or suggestions before I spend scarce money of something that won’t last

Penuelseun:
You can get one from @ojesky or @valto. I diy mine from a desktop computer power pack. Gives me around 20a at 12.7v, perfect for my 18650s

Pls can you put me thru how to do this, all my LiFePO4 charger is gone

Abeg Where I fit watch yesterday episode of reunion online I slept off and It’s like I missed a lot

Good morning guys
I have been using this lead battery (car battery)for a while now but no matter how long I charge it, it doesn’t get to 100% it floats btw 96-100 percent during the day but at nights it drops to 80%. Is there any explanations for this ?

Ojesky willmaria kiekie1 adrusa NiyiomoIyunade mctfopt will really appreciate your contributions

oluwadabira111:
Go and study Zoom bro you can achieve that with zoom Have done 4odd three time on zoom

Abeg which zoom are you talking about ??

Who has a better information abou this Mazda car. Is it a good car to go for and what’s the price range

dollarnaira:


Its big bro
U can sell it and buy 40amp
Otherwise continue

You mean 40 amp Lithium?

dollarnaira:


How many amp is the car battery pls?
At what cost?
Lets see if you can sell it off and add cash to buy a 40amp deep cycle instead.

Car batteries will work but the smell of gas that would be emitted is discouraging.

It’s 75 amps battery I got it free

ojesymsym:
I guess you have a solar system you want to dedicate to the battery? How many Watts and CC type?

Yes I have 2 panels 156 and 80 watts connected in parallel to 30 amp CC

samnaija:


Let the experiment proceed, give us full updates...

Smiles you want to use my case for experience no wahala sha
