6.6 Refrigerant Overcharge Check
CHECK 6
In case of VRV systems, 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 refrigerant overcharge
1. High pressure rises. Consequently, overload control is conducted to cause insufficient
cooling capacity.
2. The superheating degree of suction gas lowers (or wet operation is performed).
Consequently, the compressor becomes lower in discharge pipe temperature despite of
pressure loads.
3. The subcooling degree of condensate rises.
