What is the head pressure of a HVAC system?
The static pressure in most HVAC systems is a result of the height of the building plus a cushion at the top of the building. In general the cushion is around 5 – 10 psi (lb/in2) or 10 – 20 ft (3 – 6 m) water column. The static pressure can be expressed as head:
How much static pressure does a HVAC system have?
The static pressure in most HVAC systems is a result of the height of the building plus a cushion at the top of the building. In general the cushion is around 5 – 10 psi (lb/in 2) or 10 – 20 ft (3 – 6 m) water column.
How can static pressure be expressed as head?
Static Pressure as Head (ft, m) The static pressure can be expressed as head: h s = h b + h c (1) where. h s = static head (ft, m) h b = elevation at the top of the building (ft, m) h c = cushion required at the top of the building (ft, m)
How to diagnose high head pressures at the air conditioner?
This air conditioning repair article series discusses the the diagnosis and correction of abnormal air conditioner refrigerant line pressures as a means for evaluating the condition of the air conditioner compressor motor, which in turn, is a step in how we evaluate and correct lost or reduced air conditioner cooling capacity.

What does static pressure mean on an air conditioner?
The pressure readings you see when the a/c system is not operating is called static pressure. When the system is off, and temperature is stable, the pressure you see on both the high and low side gauges should be the same, or very close. Both the high and low side of the system have equalized.
Static Pressure as Head (ft, m) The static pressure can be expressed as head: h s = h b + h c (1) where. h s = static head (ft, m) h b = elevation at the top of the building (ft, m) h c = cushion required at the top of the building (ft, m)
What should static pressure be on R-134a air conditioner?
Using the chart below, if the R-134a system has a static pressure of 88 psi at 80 degrees F., we can then assume the system has some amount of liquid refrigerant. The system may be full -or – may not be.
