I How is target superheat table generated for R22 HVAC system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the use of evaporator air intake wetbulb temperature and condenser ambient temperature to determine the appropriate target superheat in HVAC systems. Participants are seeking clarification on the theoretical basis for translating these temperature readings into superheat targets. The conversation references an article that outlines troubleshooting HVAC systems using superheat measurements but emphasizes the need for understanding the generation of the related tables. The inquiry highlights a gap in knowledge regarding the underlying principles of superheat calculation. Understanding these concepts is essential for effective HVAC troubleshooting and system optimization.

It seems the practice is to enter the table with evaporator air intake wetbulb temp and condenser ambient temp. I'm trying to understand the theory that translates these readings into the proper target superheat.

Thanks

Yes, I'm somewhat familiar with that article... the question is, how is the table generated?

Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the water, and the rest is thermally insulated by styrofoam. This creates an imbalance in the agitation: the cold side of the water "shrinks," so that the hot side pushes the cylinders toward the cold...
