SUPERHEAT CALCULATION

1. Measure the suction pressure at the suction line service valve.
2. Convert the suction pressure to saturated temperature. See Table 9.
3. Measure the temperature of the suction line at the suction line service valve.
4. Compare the temperature of the suction line to the saturated temperature.
5. The difference between saturated temperature and suctin line temperature is the
superheat. Superheat normal range 12° to 15°.

SUBCOOLING CALCULATION

1. Measure the liquid pressure at the liquid line service valve.
2. Convert the liquid line pressure to saturated temperature. See Table 10.
3. Measure the liquid line temperature at the liquid line service valve.
4. Compare the liquid line temperature to the saturated temperature.
5. The difference between saturated temperature and liquid line temperature is the
subcooling. Subcooling normal range 9° to 12°.
