Suction superheat is the heat added to the refrigerant above that required to change its state from liquid to vapour (as happens in the evaporator). This heat is added both in the evaporator, in the suction line and (where applicable) in the suction accumulator.Discharge superheat is suction superheat plus heat of compression, and must be removed in the condenser before condensation, the change of state from vapour to liquid, can occur.The HVAC Veteran
to reach the required temperature from lower processed temperature.

The degrees (temperature) from the saturated liquid line. One example would be after refrigerant goes through a condenser. T_subcooling = T_sat - T_condenser
discharge pressure is high, suction pressure is high superheat is low and subcooling is high.

To test an evaporator's efficiency, you can measure the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant at various points in the system. Calculating the evaporator's heat transfer rate and comparing it to the theoretical maximum can also help evaluate efficiency. Additionally, analyzing the superheat and subcooling values can provide insight into the performance of the evaporator.
An overcharge of refrigerant in the system would typically result in less subcooling in the condenser. This is because the excess refrigerant can lead to higher pressures in the system, causing the refrigerant to be more volatile and reducing the amount of subcooling that occurs in the condenser.
Charging a system with R-407C involves adding the refrigerant into the low-pressure side of the system with equipment such as a charging cylinder and manifold gauge set. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended superheat or subcooling values to ensure proper refrigerant charge level. Overcharging or undercharging can lead to inefficiencies or damage to the system.
An undercharge in a TEV system can lead to decreased subcooling. This is because the system won't have sufficient refrigerant to remove heat from the liquid refrigerant to lower its temperature below the saturation point. As a result, the subcooling value will be lower than desired, potentially affecting system efficiency and performance.
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
One would need to know what refrigerant is being used along with the indoor and outdoor temps at the time the pressures are checked to give you an answer. The pressure readings only give you part of the story. Suction superheat and liquid subcooling give you more info to help you rate the performance as well.
tell me what is mean by super heat
subcooling methods
The right temperature to superheat and sub cool a substance varies greatly. Water for example takes temperatures above 212 degrees to superheat and temperatures below 32 degrees to sub cool.
