17 to 20 degrees is normal.you should always check dry bulb at return air and outside temp to determine the correct reading
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.
About 10 degrees
The recommended superheat for a walk-in cooler typically ranges between 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This helps ensure that the refrigerant is fully vaporized before it returns to the compressor, preventing liquid slugging and optimizing system efficiency. Proper superheat settings can vary based on specific system designs and operating conditions, so it's essential to consult manufacturer guidelines for precise recommendations.
A desuper heater is for low and medium pressure and temperature application as required in process plants. Attemperator covers all the range depending on the steaming parameters of the boiler. In functioning, they are both the same i.e. they remove the superheat of the steam with help of water either by direct contact with spray or by indirect contact in a heat exchanger.
Depending on amount of over charge the unit will act differently. Gross overcharging should be apparent on gages, compressor will slugg and be noisy, there will be little to no heat transfer as coil is flooded and bringing liquid refrigerant back into compressor, the amp draw on compressor will be higher as it is struggling to compress. Ultimately this will cause a compressor failure. Most newer system have hi pressure switches that may trip during call to run if pressures are excessive, the easiest way to make sure your charge is right without doing the required superheat/ sub cooling calculations is to take total lenght of linset, minus the 15ft of factory charge from that lenght then multiply by .06 this will give you the necessary amount of extra ref needed in circuit in oz for you to easily weigh in.

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

Superheat depends on the type of metering device you are using in the equipment as well as the current state of the load. With a fixed orifice, the superheat will be high, about 20 to 30 degrees when the box is warm, down around 10-15 when the box is cold. With a txv, the superheat should be constant, normally between 10-15 degrees. It is best to check the superheat at the outlet of the evaporator. this will ensure that the compressor does not slug with liquid refrigerant.

Excess superheat in a capillary tube system means that there is insufficient refrigerant flow through the system. This can lead to poor cooling performance and decreased efficiency. It is important to ensure the correct amount of refrigerant is flowing through the system to prevent excess superheat.
Excess superheat in a capillary tube system means that there is _____________charge.
As the outdoor ambient temperature increases, the compressor superheat will decrease. This is because the increased heat load on the system causes the refrigerant to evaporate faster, resulting in lower superheat levels. It is important to monitor and adjust the system to maintain optimal superheat levels for efficient operation.
