Chiller icing up!!!

[stpauli914]

Just noticed my temp creeping up over where I have it set. Went and checked the chiller(Prime 1/3hp inline) and the lines have chunks of ice on them :idea: It is obviously not chilling even though it is running. I turned it off to let it unthaw. Any idea of the problem?? This chiller has worked flawlessly for a couple years.

CHUCK....HELP!!!!!

Thanks, Aaron

Likely to be low on gas. Small leak perhaps. What kind of gas is in it? 134a? Is there a fan in there? Is it turning?

Sounds like it needs a visit to Chuck's garage for a little fill and check up!

Not sure on type of gas. It is a 4 year ols Current Prime inline chiller 1/3hp. It has a large fan on it and it is spinning fine. Just the copper lines iced over kind of like your home A/C will do when it is working really hard for a long time. The way it is plumbed in it will be difficult to take off line. Maybe I can Bribe Chuck to make a house call?????? :wave:

Once you figure out the gas, I'll bring it up.
