Charging in Cooling above
55°F OD Ambient
If servicing the equipment requires system evacuation,
then re-charge the system to the weight specified on
the nameplate. Verify the system subcooling using the
Subcooling Charging Table and, if necessary, adjust
the charge using the procedure below.
1. For best results — the indoor temperature should
be kept between 70°F to 80°F. Add system heat if
needed.
2. Whenever charge is removed or added, the system
must be operated for a minimum of 20 minutes to
stabilize before accurate measurements can be
made.
3. Measure Liquid Line Temperature and Refrigerant
Pressure at service valved in the compressor
compartment.
4. Locate your liquid line temperature in the left
column of the table, and the intersecting liquid line
pressure under the subcool value column, Add
refrigerant to raise the pressure to match the table,
or remove refrigerant to lower the pressure. Again,
wait 20 minutes for the system conditions to
stabilize before adjusting charge again.
NNoottee:: System charge shall never be more than 110% or
less than 90% of nameplate charge. If specified
subcooling cannot be achieved within those
charge bounds, contact your Field Service
Representative.
5. When system is correctly charged, you can refer to
System Pressure Curves to verify typical
performance.

Evacuate system and weigh in nameplate charge or
use factory charge. Correct subcooling may be verified
when the temperature is above 55°F.
