Checking superheat or sub-cooling or figuring coil temperature on R-407c is different and can be confusing with the many chart

styles and big

a temperature glide. Look at the three charts below at 40*f
The 1st chart shows shows two corresponding pressures at 40*f. Vapor pressure and liquid pressure.
The 2nd chart shows one pressure, but notice it is in white (not gray background). The instruction above the chart says "above 50*f for
R-407c it is the dew point (gray background)"
The 3rd chart, from the back an RSD note book, shows only one pressure for 40*f, but notice the small instructions on the bottom say "
*indicates bubble point." How the heck do you know what to do if you want to check superheat or sub-cooling?

Here's how:
Superheat, to help remember, you are checking low pressure (suction pressure). Use the lower of the two numbers. (vapor pressure or dew
point.) Vapor is what we want sucking into the compressor and dew is cold. If the suction line is 50*f as measured with a thermometer, and
pressure is 56# measured with a gauge,
The first chart shows 56# (using the lower number, vapor) = about 35*f . So we have a superheat (50*f - 35*f) = 15*f
The second chart shows the one number 56# (bubble, not gray background) = about 35*f. superheat again = 15*f. It changes at 50*f because
they figured you would not be checking low pressure above 50*f anyway, nor sub-cooling below 50*f.
The third chart 56# = about 25*f. If you didn't notice the instruction on the bottom, you might think the superheat is 25*f. This would be
wrong dog breath. You can't use that chart for superheat.

Sub-cooling, to help remember; if measuring the liquid or discharge pressure (high pressure), use the higher of the two numbers, or think
bubble point, you can't have bubbles without liquid. We want liquid in the liquid line.
If head pressure is 226#, all three charts show it's about 100*f. If you then measure the temperature of the liquid line and it is 120*f, you have
20*f of sub-cooling. You might be overcharged.

What if you want a 40*f coil? What pressure should you shoot for?
If this was R-22, suction pressure should be 68.5# because there is one pressure to see, it's easy.
For R-407c you actually use the average of the two numbers because the beginning of the evaporator has some liquid in it and the end of the
evaporator is all vapor (we hope). 80.7# + 63.1# = 143.8#, divided by 2 = 71.9#. That's pretty close to R-22 and that's why R-407c is a good
replacement for R-22. Any errors on this paper will be denied or blamed on others. If you already know this stuff, recycle it.
