Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat. If too little refrigerant is being fed
to the evaporator, the superheat will be high; if too much refrigerant is being supplied, the superheat
will be low. The correct superheat setting is between 10 and 15°F (5.6 and 8.3°C).
Adjustment
To adjust the superheat setting, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the valve cap at the bottom of the valve.
2. Turn the adjusting stem counterclockwise to lower the superheat.
3. Turn the adjusting stem clockwise to increase the superheat.
Just read this article about superheat and i found it confusing regarding the two temperature given can anyone please explain what does it mean. thank you.
