Refrigeration capacity in tons is based on 90°F liquid temperature and superheat as indicated by the listed temperature. Multiply
table capacities by the following factors for other liquid line temperatures. (Table data based on line size pressure drop formula
shown on page 2.17 of ASHRAE Handbook Refrigeration 2006.)
