What can be found by comparing the operating suction or high-side pressure for a refrigerant?

Back

The evaporator or condensing temperature

Front

Which of the following is NOT a use of a PT chart?
Determining the pressure of a refrigerant at a given temperature,
Finding the temperature at which a refrigerant evaporates,
Calculating the energy consumption of an HVAC system,
Identifying the condensing temperature of a refrigerant

Back
