Capacities are calculated in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 158.2, “Methods of testing Capacity of Refrigerant Pressure
Regulators”. Capacities are based on 60°F Liquid Temperature entering the expansion valve and 25°F superheated vapor Refrigerant Liquid Temperature Correction Factors for 60°F Liquid
entering the compressor. -10 -5 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40
