The SS and the Chiller have gate valves and i have tried different combinations like slowing down the flow, opening all the way the flow, using only 1 overflow tube without sucess. By the way all the plumbing is 3/4.

Thanks in advance for your help because i will happy if the cycling time reduce because overhere in PR the electricity is very high cost.
To me this sounds like it's either inadequately ventilated (as it is in my case) or low on refrigerant. If you've tried different flow rates, maybe you don't have enough space between the back of the chiller and whatever it may be up against.
