clogged filter-drier or a restriction elsewhere in the liquid line See Table 54 for maximum allowable
pressure drops. If subcooling is low add charge to clear the sightglass. If subcooling is normal (10°-
15°F) and flashing is visible in the sightglass check the pressure drop across the filter-drier.
Subcooling should be checked at full load with 70°F (21.1°C) outdoor air temperature and all fans
running.
An element inside the sightglass indicates the moisture condition corresponding to a given element
color. If the sightglass does not indicate a dry condition after about 12 hours of operation, the circuit
should be pumped down and the filter-drier changed.
