Note: If interconnect is less then 25 feet
a small amount of refrigerant may need
to be reclaimed to achieve the proper
charge for optimal operation. We
recommends fine tuning using the
“Superheat” method.
FIELD CHARGING
For proper superheat readings, a standard
low-side refrigerant gauge and an accurate
thermometer is needed. A mercury or
stem-type thermometer is not adequate
for suction-line temperatures. We recom-
mend electric thermocouple thermometers
(available at most refrigeration wholesal-
ers); however an accurate remote-bulb
thermometer can be used. When measur-
ing the line temperature, be sure the ther-
mometer is securely attached to assure
accurate measurements. The chart below
gives superheat values at various outdoor
temperatures. Allow at least 5 minutes run-
ning time between charge adjustments for
the unit to stabilize.
The use of the superheat method is highly
recommended for field charging or check-
ing the existing refrigerant charge in a
system that is in the cooling cycle. Because
each installation is different in terms of
indoor air flow, refrigerant line length, etc..,
the factory charge may not be correct
for every application. To assure the best
performance from the air-conditioner, the
refrigerant charge should be checked and
adjusted, if need be, on each installation.
Note: Refrigerant superheat is the tem-
perature above the suction pressure at
its saturation temperature.
