I understand that this blockage is a slow build up over time and understand how to check to see if the refer is totally blocked. What I was trying to figure out is if temperature measurement could alert us if the cooling unit is starting to have blockage. I would think the blocked areas would be cooler than the rest of the tubing. I check my radiator this way to look for blockage and it shows cold where radiator starts to develop blockage.
Yes, you can use a temp measurement, but it has been so long, I do not have the variables or temp normal measurements. It is just as easy to do the 120 element hot wire test. IMO, all cooling units will have a small blockage over the years due to the occasional running off level. NOBODY, always runs the refer within spec all the time. Doug
