During a refrigerant system performance test the following results are recorded: outside ambient temperature of 90°F,high-side gauge reading of 145 psi and low pressure gauge reading of 14 psi.What is indicated by these results?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low refrigerant levels are indicated by the low pressure gauge reading of 14 psi, which is significantly lower than normal, suggesting there isn't enough refrigerant in the system to maintain proper pressure. The high-side gauge reading of 145 psi may not necessarily indicate a problem on its own but combined with the low low-side pressure, it suggests the system is not operating correctly due to insufficient refrigerant.
