5.2.6 The goal of overheating and undercooling
According to manufacturer specifications, warning and
suggestion, to confirm overheating (standing valve system)
ог undercooling (related to different systems) needs outdoor
air temperature, indoor temperature and manufacturer's
diagram including overheating and undercooling.
You сап use а thermo-hygrometer to measure the
temperatures both indoor and outdoor.
То approach the entrance of the evaporator as close as
possiЫe is to measure the indoor temperature;
То approach the entrance of the condenser as close as
possiЫe is to measure the outdoor temperature.

2.Technical Manual
2.1 Usage
V-MGC Digital is а electronic manifold gauge, used for the
maintenance of refrigerating system and heat pump. This
instrument only provide for the professors to use.
V-MGC Digital replaces the mechanical instrument pipe,
thermometer and pressure-temperature graph depends оп
its unique function. lt applies to testing and monitoring
pressure and temperature.
V-MGC Digital is compatiЫe with many non-corrosive
refrigerants, water and Glycol; however, it's incompatiЫe
with ammonia refrigerant.
Do not use it in а dangerous environment where would
Ье exploded.

5.2.5 Measurement about overheating and supercooling ( see figure В)
Overheating: it means the differences between the actual temperature
after the refrigerant leaving evaporator (sensor temperature) and the
boiling temperature in evaporator.
After the refrigerant boiling, the temperature keep heating up, the
temperature that exceeds the boiling is the degree of overheating. lf
under the worst circumstances (underloading fixed valve system), the
refrigerant must Ье evaporated completely when it nears Ьу the ending
of evaporator. ln this case, to prevent the liquid refrigerant from entering
into compressor is necessary.
The manufacturer of refrigerant system provides graph data that marks
the degree of superheat under the condition of indoor humidity's
temperature and outdoor air temperature.
То measure overheating is the most useful to repair fixed valve system
and judge the quantity of recharging the refrigerant and the proper
operating environment.
lf the degree of overheat is too high while others figure аге normal,
means to charge the refrigerant. Оп the contrary, reduce the refrigerant.
Supercooling: lt means that the differences between the refrigerant
boiling temperature in condenser and the actual temperature when
the refrigerant leaves condenser. The degree of supercooling is the
temperature under the boiling temperature. Under the worst
circumstances, the degree in underloading TXW would Ье lower.
lf the degree is down too fast, the liquid will backflow into the
compressor and damage it. ln the system with expansion valve
(TXV) , the degree of supercooling is the most useful information
of charging status. The purpose of this design is to ensure the constant
degree of superheat. А suitaЫe filling capacity сап extend the
system's lifetime and ensure the system's work efficiency.
