    Awesome explanation but … the label on the unit says indoor TXV with 10 deg F sub cooling. You say it has a fixed orifice so you’re using the superheat method - am I a missing something here?

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  Месяц назад +1

      Yes so the outdoor unit will always tell you the subcooling if a txv is used. However, as you can see through that plexiglass at the indoor unit, there is a piston there and not a txv. Single stage outdoor units can be installed with any combination of indoor units and metering device, thanks! To learn more check out our books at acservicetech.com !

      @@8799crosby So we are measuring total super heat temp using thermometer near the service port at the condenser (outdoor unit for heat pump) and measuring the pressure at the same service port to measure the temperature at the evaporator (indoor unit for heat pump). We measure pressure to convert to temperature. If we are measuring the temp and the pressure at the same spot, why don't the temp readings match? I'm trying to understand the physics behind this. Does it have to do due with saturation temp, sensible heat, latent heat?

    • @EricJohnson-dr5wb
      @EricJohnson-dr5wb 2 месяца назад

      @@mtbbiker6401good question. The pressure on the low side is essentially the same in the evaporator as it is at the low side service port. The vast majority of the cooling is due to the liquid to vapor phase change in the evaporator coil. The additional heating of the 100% vapor is the superheat. You want there to be some superheat to prevent liquid refrigerant from entering and damaging the compressor.
