• Measure pressure at the liquid line service valve
and prior to expansion device. Verify that the
pressure drop is not greater than 50 PSI [345
kPa].
• For elevations greater that 25' [8 m] a lower
subcooling can be expected.
• Verify there is at least 5ºF [2.8ºC] of liquid sub-
cooling at the indoor coil prior to the expansion
device.
