Subcooling is the difference between the measured temperature of a refrigerant and the temperature at which it would boil at a given pressure, as determined by referencing the refrigerant's pressure-temperature chart. For example, if the measured temperature of R-22 refrigerant is 110°F at 260 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) pressure, the chart shows the boiling point is 120°F at that pressure, so the subcooling is 10°F (computed as 120°F - 110°F = 10°F).

Subcooling is the difference between the measured temperature and
the temperature at which the fluid would boil at a given pressure.
For example if the measured temp of 22(v) refrigerant is 110 ºF at
260 PSIG, then we can refer to the refrigerant pressure-temperature
(PV) chart to see what the boiling temperature of the particular
refrigerant is at 260 PSIG; In this case the chart reads 120º. Thus
our subcooling is 10º (Computed as 120º - 110º = 10º).
Measured Temp=110º
120º - 110º = 10º
SubCooling = 10º
