CONDITIONING
CHECKING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Interpretation of the measurements.
«m»:High pressure.«s»:Over-heating (SC).
«n»:High temperature.«t»:Ambient air temperature.
«p»:Under-cooling (SR).«u»:Blown air temperature.
«q»:Low pressure.«v»: Humidity.
«r»:Low temperature.«w»: Temperature T3.
Under-cooling.
The under-cooling represents the difference between the condensation temperature and the aircon
fluid temperature at the aircon condenser outlet.
The under-cooling gives the quantity of aircon fluid
(in the liquid state)in the air conditioning circuit.
Values for under-cooling (SR).

Blown air temperature «u».
The blown air temperature should be between 2°Cand 10°C.
