What's a Good Superheat?

Superheat for most systems should be approximately 10F measured at the evaporator; 20F to 25F near the compressor. If the suction pressure is 45 psi, (which converts to 22F) and the suction temp is 32F, the system still has 10F of superheat.

What is a good superheat for 410a?

For most systems, 20F to 25F should be measured near the compressor and 10F at the evaporator.

What is the ideal superheat and subcooling?

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.
