Jeff, I am simply shooting for 12-15 subcooling temps. More than that I have no clue.
My best research says low subcooling (less than 12-15F) is a staved condenser and I am not keeping the condenser as full of liquid as I could be, therefore loosing efficiency. High subcooling (more than 12-15F) is a flooded condenser and I am just wasting power like you said.
As long as I am in the 12-15 range I should be as close to a correct charge as possible right?
I am not taking the gas temputure in, and am taking the pressure reading and convert to the saturation temp.
Or am I still WAY off on this whole idea?
I check out your thread.
