STEP 1
- Check the outdoor temperatures.
Subcooling (in cooling mode) is the only recom-
mended method of charging above 55º F ambi-
ent outdoor temperature. See Section 14.2.
Note:
For Superheat (In Cooling Mode), refer to
the Superheat Charging Table
For best results the indoor temperature should
be kept between 70º F to 80º F.
Note:
It is important to return in the spring or
summer to accurately charge the system in the
cooling mode when outdoor ambient tempera-
ture is above 55º F.
For best results the indoor temperature should
be kept between 70º F to 80º F.
STEP 1
- Use the refrigerant line total length
and lift measurements from Section 5.3.
Total Line Length = __________ Ft.
Vertical Change (Lift) = __________ Ft.
Note:
Use this method when matched with a
TXV or EEV indoor unit.
