After charging my a/c system to data plate specs. for the ambient tempature, the sution pressure was only 10 psig different that the high side and I am wondering what would cause this. no foul odor coming from the system, deep vacuum pulled before charging. comprssor is operating.

Just wondering, what was the reason you had to recharge your system?

REPLACED THE ELECTRIC FURNACE WITH A GAS ONE, HAD TO MOVE THE EVAPORATER FOR THE DOWNFLOW FURNACE.

Sounds like you got a busted valve in the compressor.

Could be a stuck reversing valve or the compressor is bypassing internally. The problem could also be something different, recommend having system checked to verify.
