5. Adjust the pressure on the low side by charging or discharging until the temp measured on the hose is between 15 to 20 degF lower than what is read from the gauge.
This superheat method is only for fixed orifice systems because a TXV is constantly adjusting the flow of refrigerant. Do you know something I don't?
