Temperatura de los caños de un aire acondicionado
He comprado un equipo tipo split de 12000 btu de sólo frío totalmente nuevo y he notado que en la unidad exterior los dos tubos siempre están frios y el más grueso en las noches se congela, quisiera saber si esto indica algún problema pues el que tenía antes el tubo fino nunca estaba frío y el más grueso sólo un poco. El equipo enfría bien.
See if the unit is frozen

Your AC unit is blowing air, but it's room temperature or warm and the room won't get cool.
Fix: Sometimes when an air conditioner runs nonstop to keep up with the heat, the evaporator coil freezes over. Put your hand on the side of the unit near where the filter is. If it feels very cold, then it's probably frozen inside. You may even see ice hanging off the unit.
Turn off the cooling mode and turn on the fan to let the evaporator coils defrost. While you're at it, be sure that the filter and the coils around the filter are dust-free. Dust can make an AC unit freeze over, too.
Defrosting can take a few hours, so you may want to go out to a movie or head to the mall while you wait.
Very important: Do not use your air conditioner on the cool setting if you suspect it is frozen over. This can ruin the compressor (an important component), leading to expensive repairs.
