Calculating Subcooling
Example
Measure the liquid pressure (e.g., 200 psig). Find the liquid saturation temperature at that pressure
on Table 34 (e.g., 93°F). Measure the temperature of the liquid line (e.g., 90°F). Subtract the actual
temperature from the liquid saturation temperature to obtain the subcooling (e.g., 93 – 90 = 3°F). If
the actual temperature is greater than the liquid saturation temperature, then there is no subcooling,
and the fluid may be a mixture of liquid and vapor.
Why There Are Two R407C Temperature and Pressure Tables
R407C is a blend of refrigerants that exhibits a temperature “glide” of approximately 8 to 12°F
Why There Are Two R407C Temperature and Pressure Tables
R407C is a blend of refrigerants that exhibits a temperature “glide” of approximately 8 to 12°F
(4 to 7°C). This “glide” is the difference between the liquid and vapor saturation temperatures at a
given pressure. Use the correct table for the saturation temperature you need. Table 33 is for
superheat or operating controls. Table 34 is for subcooling only.
