Operating discharge (high) pressure: air-cooled models will run 20-30 psig (138-207 kPa gauge)
higher than R-502 pressures published in service manuals. Set water-cooled head pressure the same
as R-502 settings.
Operating suction (low) pressure: will run 1-3 psig (7-21 kPa gauge) higher than R-502 pressure
published in service manuals.
