    Is the answer 6K or 2K?



    OK. Guys.
    Say we have a Suction Temperature of 4c and a SST of -2c.

    Mathematically the answer of 4 and -2 added together is 2

    However 4 to -2 is a 6c split.
    So which is the answer from a superheat perspective?

    Grizzly, +4 and -2 =6. As in 0 to +4*c sensible heat, then add the -2 to 0*c as well as it is is also sensible heat.
    To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

    +4 -(-2)= +4+2 = +6

    Since superheat Is ^t of sst and st then it's 6C

    I now understand your question and will explain the thoery of the one you will know---- It -4 +2 = -2 so +6 being the dt = 4 sst = +2 which is 6 -4 square which is -2
    So the final figure is an dtla figure

    Click on the 'FORUM' button at the top
    Scroll down until you find the correct section title, i.e. 'Fundamentals'
    Open the selected section and the 'New Thread' button is at the top

    Re: Is the answer 6K or 2K?

    Hey Grizzly
    The superheat is 6.
    I look at it this way - forget + and - numbers and work as if they are all 1 increments on a rule and count the difference between the two points.
    Thats my story anyway.

    OK. Guys "Hands Up"!
    I already knew the answer, only I watched a chap calculating a superheat value recently and he took the negative value away from the positive.

    When I pointed out the correct method (as everyone else on this post!).

    I though "what a good topic for the forum"!

    Sadly you are all to clever.
    Some interesting way of explaining all the same.
    Thanks Grizzly
