So I have a unit that occasionally ices up. Multiple hvac companies cant figure out why. They think the last time it was the txv so they replaced it.
Ive got a backup unit that kicks in and keeps the room at temperature so its more annoyance than anything.
I'm wanting to setup an early warning system so I know its coming. I have a spare temperature probe for my network monitoring system I could deploy inside the unit.
I'm assuming the reason the unit doesnt ice normally is because the coil doesnt get below 32*, correct? So if I attach the temperature probe to the coil, I can monitor the coil temp and get an alert if it ever does get down below freezing? Or am I incorrect?
Hopefully that valve was the problem, but this monitoring solution wont hurt, and wont cost me anything but time. (and a zip tie LOL)
