C-Charge Verification - Approach Method - AHRI Testing
(Fin/Tube Coil Continued)
1 Using the same thermometer, compare liquid tempera
ture to outdoor ambient temperature.
Approach Temperature = Liquid temperature (at con
denser outlet) minus ambient temperature.
2 Approach temperature should match values in table 18.
An approach temperature greater than value shown indi
cates an undercharge. An approach temperature less
than value shown indicates an overcharge.

D-Refrigerant Charge and Check - Fin/Tube Coil & RFC

144
WARNING-Do not exceed nameplate charge under any
147
condition.
150
This unit is factory charged and should require no further
adjustment. If the system requires additional refrigerant, re
claim the charge, evacuate the system, and add required
nameplate charge.
NOTE - System charging is not recommended below 60_F
(15_C). In temperatures below 60_F (15_C), the charge
must be weighed into the system.
125
128
If weighing facilities are not available, or to check the
131
charge, use the following procedure:
136
IMPORTANT - Charge unit in standard cooling mode.
140
1 Make sure outdoor coil is clean. Attach gauge manifolds
142
and operate unit at full CFM in cooling mode with econo
mizer disabled until system stabilizes (approximately five
minutes). Make sure all outdoor air dampers are closed.
2 Check each system separately with all stages operat
ing. Compare the normal operating pressures (see table
19) to the pressures obtained from the gauges. Check
135
unit components if there are significant differences.
136
3 Measure the outdoor ambient temperature and the suc
138
tion pressure. Refer to the appropriate circuit charging
140
curve to determine a target liquid temperature.
142
Note - Pressures are listed for sea level applications.
146
4 Use the same thermometer to accurately measure the
liquid temperature (in the outdoor section).
D If measured liquid temperature is higher than the
target liquid temperature, add refrigerant to the
system.
D If measured liquid temperature is lower than the
target liquid temperature, recover some refrigerant
from the system.
5 Add or remove charge in increments. Allow the system
to stabilize each time refrigerant is added or removed.
6 Continue the process until measured liquid tempera
ture agrees with the target liquid temperature. Do not
