Nice video as always Tim.
This makes sense. If you lower the heat you lower the pressure as well. I still need to run the AC on a similarly hot day to see what the AC temp is really doing after the cleaning. Since the condenser had a bunch of water on it after I rinsed it off, that water evaporating off had to be helping the cooling efficiency of the condenser.

Next video will be tackling an AC recharge. I think my rig is a little undercharged right now. Got all the necessary tools either at my place or on order.
