I have two questions, firstly when measuring superheat on a refrigeration plant it is a lot simpler as you can normally get the saturation temp of the evaporator outlet, where as on an air conditioning system you can only take the suction temp at the condenser to determine the evaporator superheat.
My question is, will the method of taking the evaporator outlet pipe temperature but using the suction line port just before the compressor to get the pressure/temp be accurate for determining the evaporator superheat.
Following on from that question, is the total/compressor superheat just as good to use to determine whether a system is short or had too much refrigerant in it?
Secondly, for r410a what would be the target superheat? I realise that is a vague questions and there are other factors to consider, but what would should it be roughly or how do I work this out?
Id appreciate your help
Thanks!:cool:
