Question what would be the operating pressures of a janitrol 4.5 ton ac about 12 years old w/outside temps in the 90's
Answer The pressures will fall into a range. The suction is going to be between 64-80 and the discharge is going to be 225-275. I am guessing you have an R-22 system. Keep in mind the pressures are not the only thing that determine if the unit is operating properly.
