Excessive superheat refers to a condition in refrigeration and air conditioning systems where the temperature of the refrigerant vapor exceeds the saturation temperature corresponding to its pressure by an unusually high margin. This can lead to inefficiencies, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to the compressor due to overheating. It's important to maintain appropriate superheat levels to ensure optimal system performance and longevity.
Excessive superheat, caused by a low refrigerant charge.
Excess superheat in a capillary tube system means that there is _____________charge.
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.

The suffix in excessive is ive.
Hypertrophy means excessive development or excessive formation.
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
Polyuria is excessive urination
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.
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.
