Sometimes on smaller units the compressor will run all the time and when its not calling for cooling they open that valve electrically and bypass hot gas into either the suction line or evaporator. There are better ways for temperature control, but we are looking at a price point.:rolleyes:
PS I still have my gauges and vacuum pump etc, how far are you from Iowa?
