SUBCOOLING CHARGING iN COOLING ABOVE 55°F OD AMBIENT
Trane has always recommended installing Trane approved
matched indoor and outdoor systems.
All Trane split systems are ARI rated with only TXV indoor
systems.
The benefits of installing approved indoor and outdoor split
systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and
the best overall system reliability.
The following charging methods are therefore
prescribed for systems with indoor TXVs.
1. Subcooling (in the cooling mode) is the
recommended method of charging above
55°F ambient temperatures.
2. For best results - the indoor temperature
should be kept between 70°F to 80°F. Add
system heat if needed.
3. At start-up, or -whenever charge is
removed or added, the system must be
operated for a minimum twenty (20)
minutes to stabilize before accurate
measurements can be made.
4. Measure Liquid Line Temperature and
Refrigerant Pressure at service valves.
5. Determine total refrigerant line length,
and height (lift) if indoor section is above
the condenser.
6. Determine the Design Subcool Charging
Temperature from the unit nameplate.
7. Locate this value in the appropriate col-
umn of the Subcooling Charging Table.
Locate your liquid line temperature in the
left column of the table, and the
intersecting liquid line pressure under
your nameplate subcool value column. Add
refrigerant to raise the pressure to match
LIQUID
TEMP
(°F)
the table, or remove refrigerant to lower the pressure.
Again, -wait twenty (20) minutes for the system
conditions to stabilize before adjusting charge again.
8. When system is correctly charged, you can refer to
System Pressure Curves (in Service Facts) to verify
typical performance.
