Step 1. Determine the desired DTMeasure entering air tempera-
ture using dry bulb (A) and wet bulb (B). DT is the intersecting value
of A and B in the table (see triangle).
Step 2. Find temperature drop across coilMeasure the coil’s dry
bulb entering and leaving air temperatures (A and C). Temperature
Drop Formula: (T
Drop
) = A minus C.
Step 3. Determine if fan needs adjustmentIf the difference be-
tween the measured T
Drop
and the desired DT (T
Drop
–DT) is within
+
3º, no adjustment is needed. See examples: Assume DT = 15 and
A temp. = 72º, these C temperatures would necessitate stated ac-
tions:
Cº T
Drop
– DT = ºF ACTION
53º 19 – 15 = 4 Increase the airflow
58º 14 – 15 = −1 (within +
3º range) no change
62º 10 – 15 = −5 Decrease the airflow
Step 4. Adjust the fan speedSee indoor unit instructions to in-
crease/decrease fan speed.
Changing air flow affects all temperatures; recheck temperatures to
confirm that the temperature drop and DT are within +
3º.

IMPORTANT
Use table 5 as a general guide when performing maintenance checks. This is not a procedure for charging the
unit (Refer to Charging / Checking Charge section). Minor variations in these pressures may be expected due
to differences in installations. Significant differences could mean that the system is not properly charged or that
a problem exists with some component in the system.
