SUBCOOLING METHOD (COOLING, TXV) — To check
and adjust charge during cooling season, use Tables 6A and
6B and the following procedure:
1. Operate unit a minimum of 15 minutes before checking
charge.
2. Measure liquid line temperature near liquid line service
valve, and measure liquid pressure at liquid line service
valve. Use a digital thermometer for all temperature
measurements. DO NOT use mercury or dial-type
thermometers.
3. Refer to Tables 6Aand 6B. Find temperature point at which
the required subcooling temperature intersects the mea-
sured liquid line pressure.
4. If the measured liquid line temperature does not agree
with the required liquid line temperature, ADD refriger-
ant to lower the temperature, or REMOVE refrigerant to
raise the temperature (allow a tolerance of±3F).
