Good Morning. A week ago I installed this equipment in a room in my house. I comment that I work in electronics and electricity, that is, the refrigeration issue is not just my specialty, but since I like the subject and the tools I have my vacuum pump, pressure gauge, tools, etc. for this work, I have already installed several equipment in my house but this is the first one I bought with Inverter technology. Respect the 3mts of pipe as the manual says. I put this equipment in place of another that I had installed many years ago of 2250F that was several years ago and really had fallen short in refrigerators for that room. The indoor unit is obviously in the room, the outdoor unit in the garage, since that was when the installer who placed the previous one came, and honestly another option greatly complicates things because of the geometry of the place. Obviously use new pipes and brackets for this equipment. The subject is the following one, pursued by the consumption of light it occurred to me to place amperometric clamp from the first start. Start with about 0.7A, slowly rising to about 3.2A approx, after a low time to about 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.0A putting it at 25 degrees, if there I put it at 26 or 27 the consumption drops to zero Ampere and it feels that the Compressor turns off (my clamp is not very good quality and precision, I understand that in the latter case the consumption is not zero). So far I guess everything is fine. The issue is that after the days, the team has a consumption after a few minutes of fresh start that is already going to 3.5 3.7, yesterday with a day of about 37 degrees or more it came to go to 5.8A. I thought the ammeter or low battery failed, check it but it wasn't, it was correct. I went to the garage where the outdoor unit is (which is large two vehicles approx., To give an idea of the size, but it is sheet metal roof so even though it was night because of the heat of the day it was very hot) and I felt the noise that the compressor was full, at least because of the sound. I opened the gate to circulate air, I put a fan and noticed that after about five minutes the noise decreased, and the consumption was at 2.8, I do not know if it was to ventilate the garage or by simple behavior of the AA. I leave at 24 the consumption is always maintained at about 2A and for example I take it to about 26 or 27 at some point the consumption drops to 1A (no longer falls to 0.7 as the first day). Yesterday I measured the temperature of the air that leaves the Split, I measured it with an area to measure my tester's temperature, it is not the best but it is not the worst, it gives me approx 15 degrees. I don't know if that's ok. In the environment the temp was about 26 degrees away from the Split (the team had set it to 26). The vacuum of the equipment gave me perfect when installing it, the pressure gauge at the time of installation take the precaution of removing it when the compressor I was at full (with the maximum consumption in amperes), to have the lowest possible pressure there.The truth is that if I forget the amperometric clamp and go to listen to the unit outside the garage, the equipment is fine, cool, the room is jewel. But is the operation correct? Could it influence that the outdoor unit is in the garage (large environment but with only a remote window)? Could it be because of this situation and yesterday very hot that consumption rose like this? I know that my amperometric clamp is not good, but not so that I have so much error in the measurement. I would appreciate if you can guide me regarding the operation of my particular equipment and of investing in general, so I know if I continue monitoring my new equipment or I stop making my head and throw the amperometric clamp and stop going to the garage to listen to the outdoor unit hahahahahaha. Thank you all so much !!!

The problem in my opinion is that it is inside a garage that no matter how large it is in the long run saturated with heat and makes the equipment pressures higher than normal for proper operation. Consumption is going to be the problem in the short term. In the long term both demanding the equipment will not be free.

Thanks for the answers and recommendations. Yesterday I made tests and when the garage increases the temperature drops the performance since it increases the consumption and also cools somewhat less. I will relocate the outdoor unit so that I will pass it from the top side of the sheet metal roof to the outside, I will try to see how to do it so that the three meters of pipe used will serve me. The outdoor unit will be relocated and about one meter higher than the interior. I understand that I have to make a curve in the pipes when I get to the outdoor unit as an oil trap, right?
