These are typical pressures only. Indoor match up, indoor air quality, and indoor load will cause the pressures to vary.

Charge Using Subcooling Method
Outdoor Tem-
perature > 65ºF (18ºC)
Use the following method to obtain accurate subcooling
values. Compare the measured subcooling value to the
values given in table 6.

NOTE − For best results, use the same electronic thermometer to
check both outdoor-ambient and liquid-line temperatures.
*F: +/−1.0°; C: +/−0.5°
1. With the manifold gauge hose still on the liquid service
port and the unit operating stably, use a digital ther-
mometer to record the
liquid line temperature
in the
space provided in table 6, and at the same time, record
the
liquid line pressure
reading in the (psig___)"
space in the table.
2. Use a temperature/pressure chart for R−410A (table 7)
to determine the
saturation temperature
for the liq-
uid line pressure reading and record that in the space
provided in table 6.
3. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the saturation
temperature (according to the chart) to determine the
subcooling value
.
4. Compare subcooling value with those in table 6. If sub-
cooling is greater than shown, recover some refriger-
ant; if less than shown, add some refrigerant.
Charge using Subcooling Method
Outdoor Tem-
perature < 65ºF (18ºC)
When the outdoor ambient temperature is below 65°F
(18°C), use the subcooling method to charge the unit. It
may be necessary to restrict the air flow through the out-
door coil to achieve pressures in the 325−375 psig
(2240−2585 kPa) range. These higher pressures are nec-
essary for checking the charge. Block equal sections of air
intake panels and move obstructions sideways until the liq-
uid pressure is in the 325−375 psig (2240−2585 kPa) range.
See figure 17.
Blocking Outdoor Coil
*Outdoor coil should be blocked one
side at a time with cardboard or plastic
sheet until proper testing pressures
are reached.
