Low Evap Refrigerant Cutout/Percent Glycol Recommendations
The table below shows the low evaporator temperature
cutout for different glycol levels.
Additional glycol beyond the recommendations will
adversely effect unit performance.The unit efficiency will
be reduced and the saturated evaporator temperature will
be reduced. For some operating conditions this effect can
be significant.
If additional glycol is used, then use the actual percent
glycol to establish the low refrigerant cutout setpoint.
