VERIFY SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW LIQUID FLOODBACK.
HEAT PUMP
STEP 1: Operate system in the heating mode with outdoor fan disconnected.
STEP 2: Run system until the designed winter condition in your area is reached (may need to cover coil for
this test).
STEP 3: Check suction superheat 6" from compressor inlet.
STEP 4: Superheat should not drop below 5°F (3°K) (prefer no lower than 10°F [6°K]).
STEP 5: Sump temperature should always be 50°F (28°C) or higher above saturated suction temperature.
COOLING MODE (HEAT PUMP)
STEP 1: Operate system in cooling mode with indoor fan disconnected and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
AIR-CONDITIONING/REFRIGERATION UNITS
STEP 1: Operate system in the cooling mode with indoor fan disconnected and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.

CHECK FILTER DRIERS FOR CONTAMINATION.
A.
Suction Line Filter: If internal contamination is heavy, the suction line filter drier may become
clogged and ineffective. Check the pressure drop across the filter drier after approximately 8 hours
running time and, if it exceeds 2 psig, replace.
EXAMPLE: "R-22"
38 psig =
+ 50°F (28°K)
