FORDTECH, you can't post that and not post the NAME of the additive. You should be banned for this. j/k. So, what's it called.

So the thermometer in your vent has been reading 80-85*F lately? That's gotta be miserable.

The Green GT said:My system was evacuated, vaccumed, and recharged when i got my car. About 6 months ago. It gets so hot down here once the air comes out of the vent it it made to room temperature. At night I cant keep it on high for long cause it will make me too cold. During the day I put it on max and turn it up to 4 and I am sweating.
Again, the temp delta is not from the ambient air vs vent temps (this was my original point). Comparisons were being drawn between the wrong components.mo_dingo said:My a/c keeps leaking the refridgerant. I have to just suffer w/o a/c.

A delta greater than 20* indicates a problem with the duct work or insufficient blower CFM. Remember that the a/c can only cool the air that it gets. So as the a/c blows for a bit, the air that comes in starts to get cooler and cooler, which makes the car cooler. This is assuming you have it on recirculate, not from outside air. Which totall defeats the purpose IMO.

I was posting for clarification before (not to be a jerk) as your first post read (to me) very misleadingly. Temps at the Evap can be near freezing (one doesnt want to actually freeze, but can come quite close).
And you accidentally posted a link to residental HVAC. There are numerous differences. We've chatted HVAC before and I know you know what's up.
mo_dingo said:That is perfectly normal. Your a/c output should be anywhere from 19-26* cooler than the air coming in. That is the critical factor to remember. The a/c system can only cool what's coming in, and if it's 100* out, the air blowing out the vents should be about 75-80*.
Another thing to remember is that as you increase the CFM of air across the evaporator, the temp of the air coming out of the vents increases.
You obviously need to try to keep the car cooler while it's parked. Window tint + sun shade + windows cracked a tiny bit should help a lot. Find some shade if you can too.
Have you checked the condensor to see if the fins are all smashed? How hot does your car run (coolant temp wise).
