40 PSI low, 285 PSI high. I don't have a thermometer handy, but I would guess low 50s/high 40s. Remember this unit does not take air from the outside.
Thanks.

Is that at idle or with the engine at 1500 rpm?

A thermometer really helps. The ambient air temperature tells us about the condenser. The vent temperature is also important.

Idle. I will try to get more data early next week. It's supposed to get hot then.
Thank you.

I did get a chance to measure some temperatures. With the fan on HIGH and windows down in a 88F day, 55F vent temperature. After the cab has cooled down and the fan is on LOW, 40F or lower (remember, this system only uses inside air). I'm quite happy with this performance.
Thank you.
