ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ
The Mastercool 52246 calculator simplifies subcool and superheat measurements into three main steps:
- Select Refrigerant:
- ຫຼັງຈາກເປີດເຄື່ອງແລ້ວ, ໃຫ້ໃຊ້ UP ແລະ ລົງ arrow buttons to scroll through the list of 37 pre-programmed refrigerants (e.g., R22, R32, R134a, R410A).
- ກົດ ປ້ອນ button to confirm your selection. The device will remember the last refrigerant used for convenience.
- Enter Pressure:
- Read the pressure from your manifold gauges.
- ໃຊ້ UP ແລະ ລົງ arrow buttons on the calculator to adjust the displayed pressure to match your gauge reading. The calculator supports pressure displays in Kg/cm², MPa, Bar, and PSI (0-600 PSI).
- Clamp Thermocouple:
- ຢ່າງປອດໄພ clamp the K-Type thermocouple onto the appropriate refrigerant line (e.g., suction line for superheat, liquid line for subcool).
- The actual temperature will be displayed in the upper right corner of the LCD.
The calculator will instantly display the calculated subcool or superheat temperature based on your inputs.
ຟັງຊັນເພີ່ມເຕີມ:
- Toggle Subcool/Superheat: ກົດ SH/SC button to switch between displaying subcool and superheat values.
- ຟັງຊັນຖື: ກົດ ຖື button to freeze the current readings on the display. This allows you to record the values even if the thermocouple is disconnected or the unit is turned off. The held data will remain until the instrument is powered off.
- ການຄັດເລືອກໜ່ວຍ: ກົດ ໜ່ວຍ button to cycle through temperature units (°F or °C) and pressure units (Kg/cm², MPa, Bar, PSI).
