Superheat is the measurable (sensible) heat that is added to the saturated liquid - vapour mix.
Saturated liquid in the evap, in your case is evaporating (saturating) at -15 degc. You measured
the actual suction pipe to be about +2.5 degc.
The difference between -15 and +2.5 is 17.5 so your superheat is 17.5..............
But you knew that didn't you :) . Don't doubt yourself.......
