At this point. All you can do is assume everything works fine and start repairs.
Would have been nice to know what the pressures were. But most people don't have a clue as to how to accurately and professionally charge or read the ac.
I feel sorry for you all. It's a crapshoot out there.

It works with the ac in the same manner as the radiator. Provided everything else in the system works -
I'd hate to just start throwing new parts at this because it's gonna get pricey very fast. Heck the transducer alone was $101. Plus the $150 for loves to charge the system -
You won't have any air cool. All the freon got lost in your earlier posts.
I'd probably try to find a shop more knowledgeable then loves. That can get you in quickly if you're out on the road.
You don't need a semi shop. Any shop with an hvac machine will work. I'm guessing you still got the label underhood that says amount system holds? -

Overcharged, blockage, worn out hose, OR, it was rubbing against something and rubbed a hole.
I had a brand new aftermarket hose do that. It was rubbing against the valve cover. The motor moved slightly enough to rub a hole. -
Replaced the hose had it charged still nothing. Shop guy says there is a blockage in the system somewhere. Compressor area is hot very hot 200 degrees in 5 mins.

I don't know what area you're looking at.
It don't take long for that high pressure quick connect to get very hot.
I top off a lot of cars. Usually only takes about 2 oz. That high pressure connector goes from warm to hot really quickly.
I buy my refrigerant in 30 lb. Cylinders.
You gotta be licensed to buy more then 2 lbs. -
Update on the problem. My AC compressor blew apart inside. Sent metal thru the lines and everything. Doing a AC overhaul now $1600 in parts and the rest is labor that im doing...
