discharge pressure is high, suction pressure is high superheat is low and subcooling is high.
There must be at least 10 degrees of superheat in the calorimeter for accurate results.

Superheat was created on 2000-01-25.
There are different types of "unconventional sources"; each has its own benefits and limitations.
On smaller residential air conditioners the manufacturer publishes a charging chart that has the outside air temperature and the corresponding suction and liquid pressure measured by a refrigeration manifold set, gauges. If the chart is not available, you can estimate by measuring the suction pressure and then using a pressure temperature chart for your refrigerant and trying to maintain a 35 degree to 40 degree temperature at the condensing unit or compressor. The other measurement on larger units is the subcooling measurement, measure the actual liquid line temperature and compare the liquid pressure using a pressure temperature chart and also checking for bubbles in the liquid line sight glass. On larger systems after the subcooling has been checked then the superheat has to be checked and the thermostatic expansion valve adjusted if necessary. To check the superheat, measure the suction pressure, convert to a temperature and then measure the actual suction line temperature. The difference is the superheat, should be 6 to 20 degrees depending on the system.
Undercharge can cause HIGH superheat. Overcharge can cause LOW superheat. You need some superheat when charged correctly. How much is needed is depending on outdoor air temperature and indoor wet-bulb temperature.

excess superheat in a capillary tube systems means that there is ______ charge
We require to superheat the refrigerant to ensure that no liquid enters in the compressor.So in most of the cases degree of superheat is kept 2 to 3 deg c
