Somehow the sight glass at the dryer had a crack

Somehow the sight glass at the dryer had a crack (1995 280 C) and all the refrigerant escaped so I just replaced the dryer with a new unit and added 2 cans of r134 it worked fine for about 3 days now the a/c only works at freeway speeds (very cold) but at idle and at City driving it’s not cold at all, I open the hood and I can see thru the glass the r134 is not circulating, I can see the dryer full of r134 but it looks still until I rev up the engine but then the flow stops completely for a few seconds and then it starts circulating again, any idea why is this happening?
