System Pressures
Technicians with R-22 experience will need to become familiar working with high and low
side pressures that are much higher when using R-410A. A typical R-22 system operates
normally with a high side pressure of approximately 260 psi @ 120°F condensing
temperature, and a low side pressure of approximately76 psi @ 45°F evaporator
saturation temperature.
A normally operating R-410A system with the same condensing temperature of 120°F and
45°F evaporator saturation temperature will have a high side pressure of approximately
500 psi, and a low side pressure of approximately 150 psi.
