Measure the liquid pressure at the liquid line service valve. 2. Convert the liquid line pressure to saturated temperature. See Table 8. 3. Measure the liquid line temperature at the liquid line service valve. 4. Compare the liquid line temperature to the saturated temperature. 5. The difference between saturated temperature and liquid line temperature is the subcooling. Subcooling normal range 9° to 12°.
