What are good pressures for R22?

What are good pressures for R22?

R22 Refrigerant Rules of Thumb

• R-22 Low-Side pressure = 30 psi at 90°F ambient temperature.
• R-22 Low-Side Typical Operating Pressure-Range = 58 – 85 psig (varying by indoor wet bulb temperature and outdoor ambient temperature, where higher heat loads increase the vapor line pressure)

What should high and low side AC pressures be?

The system should be about 25 to 30 psi on the low side and 200 to 250 psi on the high side. If the ambient temperature is higher or lower than normal (70 to 80°F) the pressures will go up or down accordingly.

What should AC gauges read R22?

In my (2) R22-based HVAC systems, the low pressure side is 40 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit (F) while the high side is 110 and 115 degrees. What should my AC gauges read?…What should gauges read on r22?

What should R22 pressures be at 70 degrees?

If the outdoor temperature is 70°F, a refrigerant bottle outside would have a pressure of roughly 201 PSIG. If the outdoor temperature is 110°F, a refrigerant bottle outside would have a pressure of roughly 366 PSIG.

Can you use 134a gauges with R22?

You can use any gauges you like to check the pressure of the system, with slight risk of cross contamination. R134a refrigerant is an alternative that contains no chlorine and hence no ozone depletion potential. It’s a greenhouse gas, though, and it doesn’t work as well as R22.

What should R22 pressures be on a 70 degree day?

What can I use to top off R22?

Freon™ MO99 is the closest match to R-22 of all “no oil change” replacement refrigerants. MO99 is compatible with mineral oil and POE oil providing a quick, cost-effective R-22 replacement, and can be topped off during service without removing the entire refrigerant charge.

What should R-22 pressures be at 90 degrees?

Regarding this, what should the high and low side pressures be? The low-side should be near 30 PSI at 90 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Pressure that is too much lower or higher shows there is a problem. On a properly working system, high-side pressure will be about twice the ambient temperature, plus 50 PSI.

How can you tell if R-22 is low?

In summary, here are the seven symptoms or telltale signs of a system low on refrigerant:

1. Medium to high discharge temperatures;
2. High evaporator superheat;
3. High compressor superheat;
4. Low condenser subcooling;
5. Low compressor amps;
6. Low evaporator temperatures and pressures; and.
7. Low condensing temperatures and pressures.
