Did the compressor grenade? If it did, there may be metallic particles from the compressor rammed into the system, possibly clogging the expansion valve orfice. You may need to check for this. Any time a compressor fails, it is good practice to multiple flush the system to get rid of debris. Some specialists even trash the hoses and mufflers.Changing the drier/accumulator is a big help, but sometimes won't get it all.
