Refrigeration capacity in tons based on saturated suction temperature of 40°F with 15°F superheat at indicated saturated
condensing temperature with 15°F sub-cooling. For other saturated suction temperatures with 15°F superheat, use correction
factors in the following table. (Table data based on line size pressure drop formula shown on page 2.17 of ASHRAE Handbook
Refrigeration 2006.)
