DEW Suction Side / Superheat

  • Superheat = Suction Temp - Dew Point Temp
  • • Use at evaporator outlet
  • • Low pressure gauge reading
  • • Temperature where last liquid evaporates

BUBBLE Liquid Side / Subcooling

  • Subcooling = Bubble Point Temp - Liquid Temp
  • • Use at condenser outlet
  • • High pressure gauge reading
  • • Temperature where first bubble forms

Important: Using the wrong saturation point will give incorrect superheat/subcooling readings. For R-404A with 0.7°C glide, this error can significantly affect diagnosis and charging.
