Help with refrigeration properties table

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on discrepancies in enthalpy values for R-22 between a textbook and online sources. The user notes a consistent difference of approximately 154 kJ/kg for both saturated and superheated vapor enthalpies. It is highlighted that enthalpy is relative to a reference state, which may explain variations in reported values. The user seeks clarification on why these differences exist. Understanding the reference states used in different sources could resolve the confusion regarding enthalpy values.

Hey guys,

Just a bit stuck with getting enthalpy values off a table I have in a textbook.

If we look at R-22 for example, the textbook gives me different answers than what is available on the net. If I use the values that are given to me on the net I get the correct value.

The blue ones are what seem to be the correct enthalpys, the red is what my textbook has given to me. Why is there always a ~154kJ/kg difference for the enthalpies between my book and the correct answer?(for both saturated liquid and vapour and it seems the same for superheated vapour)

enthalpy is defined relative to a reference state, it isn't the absolute value.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
