Hey Ed, what does our coil temperature (suction saturation temperature) look like?
In this edition of "Hey Ed," Ed discusses suction saturation temperatures.
Hey Ed, what does our coil temperature, suction saturation temperature, look like? When we’re talking about our suction saturation temperature, and that’s not what I ever called it back in the day when I worked for Pete, he would just say, "What’s your coil temperature?" Coil temperature for air conditioning typically going to be around 40 degrees. Literally, and I don’t care what refrigerant you’re using, if you charge a system when it’s warm out to a 40 degree coil, it’s going to make air conditioning. Does that mean that it’s charged properly? No, but it means it’s going to make air conditioning, and that’s the way I see it.
