Ever wonder how to calculate what your system should be doing before you even pull out your gauges? In this clip, we walk through the math behind expected saturation temperature on a TXV system — starting with a 70°F return air reading and working down 30–35 degrees to land at a superheat target.
Once you know your suction saturation is around 40°F and your TXV is delivering a solid 8–12° of superheat, you can calculate your expected suction line temp — right around 50°F. That's not a guess, that's a baseline.
