SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
SUBCOOLING CHARGING IN COOLING ABOVE 55°F OD AMBIENT
The manufacturer recommends installing approved matched indoor and outdoor
systems.
All split systems are AHRI rated with only EEV/TXV indoor systems.
The benefits of installing approved indoor and outdoor split systems are maxi-
mum efficiency, optimum performance and the best overall system reliability.
The following charging methods are therefore prescribed for systems with indoor
EEV/TXVs.
1. Subcooling (in the cooling mode) is the only recommended method of charg-
ing above 55°F ambient temperatures.
2. For best results - the indoor temperature should be kept between 70°F to
80°F. Add system heat if needed.
3. At start-up, or whenever charge is removed or added, the system must be
operated for a minimum twenty (20) minutes to stabilize before accurate
measurements can be made.
4. Measure Liquid Line Temperature and Refrigerant Pressure at service
valves.
5. Determine total refrigerant line length, and height (lift) if indoor
section is above the condenser. Use the Subcool Charging
Chart Corrections Table to calculate any additional subcooling
required for your specific application.
6. Determine the Design Subcooling from the unit nameplate or Ser-
vice Facts. Add any additional amount of subcooling calculated
in Step 5 to the Design Subcooling to arrive at the final subcooling
value.
7. Locate this value in the appropriate column of the R-410-A Re-
frigerant Charging Chart. Locate your liquid line temperature in
the left column of the chart, and the intersecting liquid line pres-
sure under your calculated subcooling value column. Add refriger-
ant to raise the pressure to match the chart, or remove refrigerant
to lower the pressure. Again, wait twenty (20) minutes for the
system conditions to stabilize before adjusting charge again.
8. When system is correctly charged, you can refer to System Pres-
sure Tables to verify typical performance.

1. The Subcool Charging Method in cooling is not recom-
mended below 55°F outdoor ambient.
2. The only recommended method of charging at outdoor
ambients below 55°F, is to weigh in the charge in the
heating mode.
3. Use Nameplate charge plus standard charge adders for
line length.
4. Check liquid line temperature and pressure (at the OD
valves) to obtain
a minimum of 10°F subcooling.
5. Add charge if a minimum of 10°F subcooling is not
obtained with the nameplate charge plus line length cor-
rection.
6. It is important to return in the spring
or summer to accurately charge the system in the cooling
mode at outdoor ambients above 55°F.
