296 Part 6 Service Diagnosis
5.5 Refrigerant Overcharge Check
CHECK 6
The only way to judge as the overcharge of refrigerant is with operating conditions due to the
relationship to pressure control and electronic expansion valve control.
As information for making a judgment, refer to the information below.
Diagnosis of overcharge of refrigerant
1. High pressure rises. Consequently, overload control is conducted to cause insufficient cooling
capacity.
2. The superheated degree of suction gas lowers (or the wet operation is performed).
Consequently, the compressor becomes lower in discharge pipe temperature despite of
pressure loads.
3. The subcooled degree of condensate rises. Consequently, in heating, the temperature of
discharge air through the subcooled section becomes lower

The outdoor unit electronic expansion valve
is closed due to the overload control.

the minimum level.
(High pressure is maintained
at a constant level.)
Low pressure rises
due to decreased
frequency.
To maintain high pressure,
frequency decreases under the
capacity control.
High pressure drops or rises
immediately after the overload
control is complete.
Low pressure drops due to
closed outdoor unit
electronic expansion valve.
Hot gas bypass is activated
for low pressure protection,
i.e., hunting at low pressure.
