What's the psi # for my Fidgobot Paris

I've searched the manual and YouTube and can't find what the psi is supposed to be.
I currently have it at 50psi. It's pumping no coldness. There may be other issues.
Has anyone recharged their Frigeobot Paris? What's the optimal psi?

Frigoboat Cold Unit PARIS 35F should have been factory precharged with R134a refrigerant. A table of properties of R134a show that the pressure of the line leaving the evaporator should be about 32psi and the pressure leaving the compressor, or at the condenser should be around 120psi. Those pressures are with the system running. When the system is idle, the pressure will equalize according to the average system temperature.

Charging refrigerant systems is not something that most of us should be doing, so you might want to reach out to someone specifically trained in the work.

Head pressure is dependent on temperature....
AND
It sounds like you have a leak.
Most likely place is the evaporator. Most of these are aluminum roll bond evaporators, and are very easy for the user to damage, making them leak. They also are subject to corrosion, and what just looks like a little bit of paint missing, can be a hole that is letting the refrigeration out.
And
50psi for compressor head pressure is not likely to effect any cooling.
