5. To complete the charts:
. Mark the delivery temperature along the venical line.
. Mark the intake temperatu re (am bient a ir temperatu re) alongthe bottom line.
. Draw a line straight up from the air temperature to the humidity.
. Mark a point 10% above and 10% below the humidity level.
. From each point. draw a horizontal line across the delivery temperature.
. The deliverv temperature should fall between the two lines.
. Complete the low side pressure test and high side pressure test in the same way.
. Any measurements outside the line may indicate the need for further inspection.
