Yellow Jacket 69196 SuperHeat SubCool Calculator for HVAC Review

Hello all. Today we are going to have a look at a relatively easy to use product that saves you the headache of having to do complex math on the job – the Yellow Jacket 69196 SuperHeat SubCool Calculator. For those who don’t know, superheat is the degrees a vapor is above its boiling point at a certain pressure and the subcool value is the number of degrees below the boiling point.

Basically, these are values that need to be measured when working on any AC system to ensure that the unit is functioning properly and efficiently. Until somewhat recently these values needed to be calculated manually using pressure conversion charts for various refrigerants. The Yellow Jacket 69196 significantly reduces the amount of work you need to do and provides more accurate readings.

The first thing to do when using this unit is select the refrigerant you are working with (there are 24 pre-programmed). Then enter the pressure reading values from your manifold gauges. After this you can clamp the pipe thermocouple probe unto the system. And then like magic you have your superheat/subcool values onscreen. Time and energy saved.

The Yellow Jacket 69196 also displays bubble, saturated and dew point temperatures and features a hold function to preserve the onscreen data even after you have disconnected from the system. The screen also refreshes on a fraction of a second so you have real time readout of any changes that occur.

The Yellow Jacket 69196 is a simple product that gets the done and makes your life easier. For more product information and sale pricing, check out this link.
