Refrigerants 22, 134a, 404A, and 507 values are based on 100°F liquid temperature and the stated evaporator temperature.
Refrigerant 717 (ammonia) values are based on 86°F liquid temperature and 20°F evaporator temperature. Both suction
and liquid line values are based on a pressure drop equivalent to 1°F change in saturation temperature. For additional
information on refrigerant line sizing, consult ASHRAE’s Refrigeration Handbook or equipment manufacturer.
