D. CHECKING SUPERHEAT AND SUBCOOLING
The subcooling temperature of each system can
be calculated by recording the temperature of the
liquid line at the outlet of the condenser and sub-
tracting it from the liquid line saturation tempera-
ture at the liquid stop valve (liquid line saturation
temp. is converted from a temperature/pressure chart).
Example:
Liquid line pressure =
325 PSIG converted to temp. 101 °F
Minus liquid line temp. -86 °F
Subcooling = 15 °F
The subcooling should be adjusted to 15 °F at design
conditions.
1. Record the liquid line pressure and its corresponding
temperature, liquid line temperature and subcooling
below: ......................................................................
SYS 1
Liq Line Press = ––––––– ––––––– PSIG
Saturated Temp = ––––––– ––––––– °F
Liq Line Temp = ––––––– ––––––– °F
Subcooling = ––––––– ––––––– °F
After the subcooling is verified, the suction super-
heat should be checked. The superheat should be
checked only after steady state operation of the chill-
er has been established, the leaving water tempera-
ture, and the unit is running in a fully loaded condition.
Correct superheat setting for a system is 10°F - 15°F
(5.56°C - 8.33 °C) 18" (46 cm) from the heat exchanger.
Superheat should typically be set for not less than
10°F with only a single compressor running on a
circuit. The superheat is calculated as the difference
between the actual temperature of the returned refriger-
ant gas in the suction line entering the compressor and
the temperature corresponding to the suction pressure
as shown in a standard pressure/temperature chart.

When adjusting the expansion valve (TXV only), the
adjusting screw should be turned not more than one
turn at a time, allowing sufficient time (approximately
15 minutes) between adjustments for the system and
the thermal expansion valve to respond and stabilize.
Assure that superheat is set at a minimum of 10°F (5.56
°C) with a single compressor running on each circuit.
