Say WHAT ????? Bullshit.
A ) the temperature equivalent at saturation at that pressure
will vary with the refrigerant
B ) That applies only at saturation, - in the pure gaseous
state the pressure tells you nothing about the temperature. You can
very easily, and very often do, have a system malfunction where the
suction line is at zero PSI, the system is running, and the line temp
or evap temp is 70 degrees F. This is an every day commonplace thing.
Wanna see ? Go up to any properly running system and remove
1/2 the charge. Watch.

Remove half the charge on a R-410a system that has a LPCO on it, and see how
far it gets before it shuts down. With the new controls on the Rheem/RUUD
stuff, it will try to restart a total of 3 times...if it trips on the LPCO 3
times, it will go into a hard lock-out, and has to be manually reset to
prevent induction of moisture into the system.

They can *try* to protect their systems all they want.
But they *can't* protect them against moisture when a leak exists, PERIOD!

It's pretty obvious that he doesn't understand how an air conditioning
system operates.
So how the hell can he understand what happens under any other condition?

And THAT'S when the moisture can enter through a leak(below atmospheric).
