If you increase superheat(temperature ) in the refrigeration cycle will the (superheat)pressure increase, too?

Don't think so. If evaporator ices up will superheat increase?0

are you increasing the suction line temp or the suction saturation temp? stop thinking in terms of pressurejohnjohn89 said:Service experts.

But superheat is literally a function of temperature and pressure?ratio said:My Old Guy told me to think about everything in terms of temperature & not pressure. Doing it that way you'll be able to work on any refrigerant, because the evaporator & condenser temperatures aren't going to change much for air conditioning.
I'm not understanding how someone can think of everything by temperature and ignore pressure in refrigeration?Single pipe quasi-vapor system. Typical operating pressure 0.14 - 0.43 oz. EcoSteam ES-20 Advanced Control for Residential Steam boilers. Rectorseal Steamaster water treatment0 -
Superheat is the measurement of the Vapor above its Saturated temperature.johnjohn89 said:Service experts.

So, NO you won't raise the pressure. If the pressure changes the temperature would change0 -
Sorry, I wasn't clear. Temperature & saturated temperature might be clearer. No matter what refrigerant we're using, a saturated condensing temperature of 25° is a problem, whether it's 87 PSIG (410A) or 48 PSIG (22) or however many thousands CO₂ will be.ChrisJ said:
