Cost of a/C Evaporator Coil Repair?

Evaporator Coil Cost

1. help? a/c evaporator on 1994 olds 998 regency?

painintheexhaust.blogspot.com if there is a slow leak of freon.

2. Can either the condensor or air handler break?

If the condenser is R-410 and evaporator is still the old R-22, the mismatch is why it is not cooling. The tubing diameter for R-410 is larger and operating pressures much higher, at the very least the copper tubing and evaporator should have been replaced along with the condensing unit

3. Heat pump evaporator coil "leak"?

It clearly is evident their is far too much fraud involved with the service industry

4. What is an HVAC evaporator coil?

the evaporator is inside your house. it is a series of copper tubes that allow refrigerant to evaporate from a liquid into a gas. this causes the freon to become very cold. air is moved across these copper tubes causing the air to cool and drop its humidity in the form of condensation. the freon is pumped back outside to be compressed back into a liquid

5. What are the factors limiting the practical size of a wiped film evaporator?

A wiped film evaporator works on the concept of a steam jacket heating the evaporator as the liquid mixture comes down vertically. It's a pretty simple phenomenon which takes place because of varying boiling points of the two liquids. Basically the driving point of an evaporation process comes from the fact that different liquids have different boiling point. The more the difference, the longer the time one needs the liquid mixture to fall in the evaporator and the better the separation. I had worked on a thin film evaporator for separting ethylene glycol(15%)and water. The boiling points were respectively 111 and 100 degree celcius. So the time required to make a separation desired needs to be known and this determines the optimim height of the evaporator.What are the factors limiting the practical size of a wiped film evaporator?

6. i have been told by the dealership that i have a bad evaporator?

Well, it depends on how much you want your AC to work. After some research it appears that thispart isonly for the Air conditioning unit and wo not affect the rest of your car. However, with that said, I looked on a car message board and you CAN do it yourself, but it would be difficult and very messy. Those people also said that if you do not have the time, patieniece, experience, and can afford the repair it would be worth it. They also mentioned on another person's problem that this is ballpark cost of this repair. Sorry about your car

7. What's the difference in a Carrier 3 ton evaporator coil model CNRVP3617 and model CARVP3614ATA?

From what i knoiw about the carrier and bryant model numbers the first letter is for Carrier MFG, the 2nd is the shape of the coil either and A or N, the VP I believe is for the expantion device and VP is a valve piston I think, the 36 is for 36,000 (3 tons ) of cooling and the 17 is 17" wide and 14 is 14" wide one of these will fit a 17" wide gas furnace and the other will fit a 14" wide gas furnace, the ATA may be tin plated but Im not up on thet aspect of the model number. Ask the bidder to break it down for you and if they cant ask them when they can get an answer back to you. If they shift around and dont want to provide you with these answers this kind of gives you the expectation of the kind of service you can expect. I could find out for you but the supplier is closed at this time. Also seems a few months ago the warranty was differant for Tin plated vs Non tin plated coils. I dont know if there is still a differant warranty on them at this time or not. Also just because the furnace may be bigger (usually 17" wide on 3 ton) the 14" coil can be "blanked off externally and be made to work fine. Also I assume your going with R22? If these guys didnt bother to tell you about R410A - PURON - Ask them why not. These systems are more efficient and the Refrigerant is allready in the $20/lb range here in Oklahoma and the R22 is around $15 but climbing and wont be made after 2010.
