Superheat is calculated by taking the temperature of the vapor refrigerant and subtracting the saturation temperature of the refrigerant at the same pressure. The formula is:
[ \text{Superheat} = T_{\text{vapor}} - T_{\text{saturation}} ]
where ( T_{\text{vapor}} ) is the actual temperature of the vapor refrigerant and ( T_{\text{saturation}} ) is the saturation temperature corresponding to the pressure of the refrigerant. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the refrigerant is fully vaporized and helps prevent compressor damage.
We require to superheat the refrigerant to ensure that no liquid enters in the compressor.So in most of the cases degree of superheat is kept 2 to 3 deg c
Calculation is doomed to fail. The correct approach is to measure them.

No, 16 times 5 is not 30. The correct calculation is 16 multiplied by 5 equals 80.
Precision -- the degree to which the result of a measurement, calculation, or specification conforms to the correct value or a standard
Insulating the bulb of the thermometer ensures accurate temperature readings by preventing heat transfer from the surrounding air. This is important for calculating the superheat accurately, as it measures the temperature rise of the refrigerant gas above its saturation point. Insulating the bulb helps maintain the accuracy of the superheat calculation.
Excess superheat in a capillary tube system means that there is insufficient refrigerant flow through the system. This can lead to poor cooling performance and decreased efficiency. It is important to ensure the correct amount of refrigerant is flowing through the system to prevent excess superheat.
To take superheat, you need to measure the temperature of the refrigerant vapor as it exits the evaporator and compare it to the saturation temperature of the refrigerant at the same pressure. This is typically done using a thermometer or temperature probe. The difference between the measured vapor temperature and the saturation temperature gives you the superheat value. Ensuring accurate pressure readings is also essential, as it directly affects the saturation temperature calculation.
To find the evaporator superheat, you need the saturation temperature of R22 at the evaporator pressure of 76 psi (which corresponds to roughly 40°F), and then subtract this from the measured outlet temperature of 58°F. Therefore, the evaporator superheat in this scenario would be approximately 18°F.

Superheat and sub-cooling are essential in HVAC systems for optimizing performance and efficiency. The benefits of superheat include preventing refrigerant flooding in the compressor, which enhances system reliability and efficiency. Sub-cooling improves the refrigerant's cooling capacity and ensures that the liquid refrigerant reaches the expansion valve at the correct temperature, maximizing efficiency. However, both techniques require precise adjustments; too much superheat can lead to overheating and compressor failure, while excessive sub-cooling can reduce overall system efficiency and capacity.

We have literally no idea what you mean. Calculation of a volume of what? Which measured numbers? Your question, as it stands, is nonsense.
