z

Mark the delivery temperature along the vertical line.  

z

Mark the intake temperature (ambient air temperature) along the bottom line.  

z

Draw a line straight up from the air temperature to the humidity.  

z

Mark a point 10% above and 10% below the humidity level.  

z

From each point, draw a horizontal line across the delivery temperature.  

z

The delivery temperature should fall between the two lines.  

z

Complete the low-side pressure test and high-side pressure test in the same way.
