This is at Idle (600 rpm) and interior cooled after driving home.
Low pressure - 70PSI
High pressure - 300PSI (Put a box fan on it and this dropped to 290)
Accumulator outlet temp - 96° F
1500 RPM
Low pressure - 40PSI
High pressure - 260PSI
2000 RPM
Low pressure - 32.5PSI
High Pressure - 250PSI
Idle again
Low pressure - 70PSI
High pressure - 290PSI
Accumulator Outlet temp - 97°
This is all sitting in the sun at 102°F (IR gun in the shade shows closer to 107) ambient and ~20% RH.
Based off this, am I overcharged?
EDIT: Going to go out and pull the grill to also measure subcooling. At idle I'm at ~20F superheat, need to go check subcooling.
Edit #2 found another of @L31MaxExpress posts talking about subcooling being what it is for our applications. At the same idle pressures above I'm at 150° F which is about a 10° subcool.
