    Measuring super heat



    Hi people I have a question regarding calulating super heat. I was advised the super heat at the condenser should be 3-5 k and I have read in another thread the same use of "K". Is this the same as 3-5 c. Is k kelvin.

    "K" is Kelvin

    The reference to Kelvin simplified the mathematics by removing negative from equation
    I love the smell of Ammonia in the morning!
