a. The bubbles seen through the sight glass are
influenced by the ambient temperature. Since
the
bubbles are hard to show up in compara-
tively
low temperatures below 20°C (68°F). it
is possible that a slightly larger amount of re-
frigerant would be filled,
if supplied according
to the sight glass.
Be sure to recheck the
amount when
it exceeds 20°C (68°F). In

b. When the screen in the receiver drier is clogged,
the bubbles will appear

side pipe of the receiver drier becomes consid-
erably cold.
