The Pressure / Temperature Chart
R-134a
Pressure / Temperature Chart The PT Chart is a TOOL, it will help you determine the Saturation Temperature of the refrigerant in your system. Once you know the saturation temperature, you are then able to determine the state of the refrigerant in your system!
Pressure / Temperature Chart Example: What is the Saturation Temperature of the refrigerant on the High Side of a system if the Discharge Pressure is 11.46 Bar, (166.10 PSIG)?
