SUPERHEAT CHARGING METHOD -

PISTON INDOOR

1.Operate system until temperatures and pressures stabilize (mini- mum of 10 minutes).

2.Measure and record indoor wet bulb (WB) temperature using a sling psychrometer and the outdoor dry bulb (DB) temperature using a thermometer.

3.Measure and record the suction pressure at the suction service valve port.

4.Using charts located on the unit, note the superheat value corre- sponding to the intersection of the indoor wet bulb and the outdoor dry bulb.

5.With the superheat value obtained in step 4 and the suction pres- sure value from step 3, find the intersection of the values on the chart. This is the required suction tube temperature at the suction service valve.

6.To bring the tube temperature in line with the required value from chart, add refrigerant to the service port to cause the tube temper- ature to fall and reclaim refrigerant to cause the temperature to rise.

SUBCOOLING CHARGING METHOD - TXV INDOOR

The recommended subcooling is 10°F

1.Set the system running in the cooling mode by setting the thermo- stat at least 6°F below the room temperature.

2.Operate the system for a minimum of 15-20 minutes.

3.Refer to the tabular data sheet for the recommended airflow and verify this indoor airflow (it should be about 400 SCFM per ton).

4.Measure the liquid refrigerant pressure P and temperature T at the service valve.

5.Calculate the saturated liquid temperature ST from Table 2.

6.Subcooling temperature TC = Saturated Temperature (ST) - Liquid Temp (T).

Example: The pressure P and temperature T measured at the liq- uid service port is 196 psig and 90°F, respectively. From Table 2, the saturated temperature for 196 psig is 100°F. The subcooling temperature TC = 100°-90°=10°F

Add charge if the calculated subcooling temperature TC in Step 6 is lower than the recommended level. Remove and recover the refrigerant if the subcooling TC is higher than the recommended level. See Table 2.

Check flare caps on service ports to be sure they are leak tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (between 40 and 60 inch - lbs. maximum).
