IMPORTANT 

It  is  essential  that  the  glide  of  refrigerant  blends  (primarily  R407C)  is 
carefully considered when adjusting pressure and superheat controls.

2.3.2  Application limits 

 

CAUTION 
Inadequate  lubrication!  Compressor  breakdown!

  The  superheat  at  the 

compressor  suction  inlet  must  always  be  sufficient  to  ensure  that  no 
refrigerant droplets enter the compressor. For a typical evaporator-expansion 
valve configuration a minimum stable superheat of at least 5K is required.
