CHARGING INFORMATION
FOR COMPLETE CHARGING DETAILS, REFER TO THE OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION INSTUCTION.
AIRFLOW CHECK - Both airflow and refrigerant charge must be monitored
for a proper system set‐up. It may be necessary to alternately check and
adjust the airflow and the refrigerant charge.
NOTE - Be sure that filters and indoor and outdoor coils are clean before testing.
To determine temperature drop across indoor coil (Delta-T), measure the entering air dry
bulb (DB) and wet bulb (WB) temperatures at the indoor coil. Find Delta-T in table 1. Measure
coil's leaving air DB and subtract that value from entering air DB. The measured difference
should be within +
3ºF (+1.8ºC) of table value; if too low, decrease the indoor fan speed (refer
to indoor unit for information). If the Delta-T is too high, increase the indoor fan speed. Repeat
charging procedure and Delta-T (air flow adjustment) procedure until both are correct.
Example: assume entering air DB - 72, WB - 64, leaving DB - 53. Therefore, Delta-T should
be 15 (per table); delta across coil is 72 - 53 or 19 (which is 4ºF higher than table value); action
necessary: increase fan speed.
