11) Check inlet port temperature-to-outlet port temperature relationship using the graph. For example, if temperature
near air inlet of HVAC unit is 30 °C (86 °F) and the one at air outlet of center ventilation louver is 17 °C (62.6 °F),
their crossing point is within acceptable range as shown in the graph. In this case, cooling performance is
satisfactory and proper.
12) If crossing point is out of acceptable range, diagnose trouble referring to the following table.
[A]: Temp at air outlet of center ventilation louver
[B]: Temp near air inlet of HVAC unit
Possible cause
Insufficient refrigerant (Insufficient charge or
leakage)
Expansion valve malfunction (valve opens too
wide)
Compressor malfunction (Insufficient
compression)
Possible cause
Expansion valve malfunction (valve opens too
