Other possible causes and technical explanations
Possible causes to examine for this symptom
These causes are preliminary assessments. The same symptom can have different causes in different circuits.
Even if the cooler appears to work, standby unloading or circulation losses may be present.
How to check: Record standby and operating temperatures from the existing indicator. A qualified technician should assess unloading-line losses, the cooler and internal leaks as part of the heat balance.
Possible solution: Repair confirmed cooling faults or unwanted relief losses. Reassess the heat balance for continuous duty; fitting a larger tank alone is not a guaranteed solution.
