What Is the Formula for Subcooling?

Calculate the subcooling as follows: subcooling = CT – T. For a refrigerant blend use the saturated liquid (bubble) temperature as the condensing temperature. Subcooling will not usually occur in the condenser unless liquid backs up in the condenser.

What is the superheat formula?

The total superheat calculation is as follows: Degrees compressor in temperature (50 degrees) minus saturation temperature (23 degrees) equals total superheat (27 degrees).

How do you calculate subcooling and superheat?

Subtract the Liquid line Temperature from the Liquid Saturation Temperature and you get a Subcooling of 15. “Typically” on TXV systems the Superheat will range between 8 to 28 degrees with a target of about 10 to 15 degrees. The Subcool range on TXV systems will range from about 8 to 20.
