Subcooling and superheat are essential concepts in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Subcooling refers to the process of cooling a liquid refrigerant below its condensation temperature, ensuring that it is completely in liquid form before entering the expansion device. Superheat, on the other hand, involves heating a vapor refrigerant beyond its boiling point, ensuring that it is entirely vapor before entering the compressor. Together, these processes enhance system efficiency, prevent compressor damage, and optimize cooling performance.
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.
There are different types of "unconventional sources"; each has its own benefits and limitations.
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 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.

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.
