hello everyone, I'm working on a new install we installed (2)4ton and (1) 5ton A/C units with new furnaces and duct work. All the units are doing the same thing so I just posted the 5 ton.... On day 1 I thought I had an air flow problem so I got a dwyer manometer to measure external static pressure. I got neg.08 in the return and pos.1 in the supply (using a probe) add the two together and get .18 Furnace spec. cfm on chart .2 on hi speed is 2175cfm so that looked OK. I have never used one of these before so did I do that correctly?
I decided to remove some gas because the superheat was so low but this does not seem right because I measured the line set and added 5oz planning to add 1oz more. On day 2(today) the book called for 12f superheat so I pulled out 10oz to get 12f. Should my evap temp be that low? what am I missing? I never get to work on an AC unit with the building this cold so I'm not sure what to think. Thanks.
