Sightglass: Superheat PT Chart

Sightglass tells you whether a system needs refrigerant, needs some taken out, or is right where it should be. Type the gauge readings and line temperatures and it gives you the number, the target and a plain call: add, recover or leave it. Everything runs on the phone. It works in a basement, a crawlspace or on a roof with no signal, and there is no account and no login. SUPERHEAT (FIXED ORIFICE / PISTON) Suction pressure and suction-line temperature give the superheat. The target comes from indoor wet-bulb and outdoor dry-bulb on the standard fixed-orifice charging chart, or type a target yourself. Where the chart says to weigh in the charge, Sightglass says so instead of guessing. SUBCOOLING (TXV / EEV) Liquid pressure and liquid-line temperature against the bubble point, with the target from the unit's rating plate. AIRFLOW Temperature split across the indoor coil, against the target split for the return air. Enter wet-bulb or relative humidity, either works. PT CHART 29 refrigerants, including R-410A, R-454B, R-32, R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, R-448A, R-449A, R-513A, R-1234yf, R-290 (propane), R-600a and R-744 (CO2). Blends with glide get separate liquid (bubble) and vapor (dew) columns. Type a pressure to get the saturation temperature, or a temperature to get the pressure. Vacuum shows in inches of mercury. WET-BULB From dry-bulb and relative humidity. UNITS AND ELEVATION °F or °C; psig, kPa or bar. Set your elevation once and every saturation temperature is corrected for the thinner air. WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM Saturation tables are computed with CoolProp, the open-source thermophysical property library, and checked against published manufacturer PT charts. Airflow targets follow the Proctor Engineering temperature-split table. Sightglass is a calculator for trained HVAC/R technicians. Follow the equipment manufacturer's charging instructions where they differ, and handle refrigerants as your certification requires. SUBSCRIPTION Sightglass requires a subscription.
