Tables E-1, E-2, E-3, <strong>and</strong> E-4 summarize FDD results <strong>for</strong> the other field sites.<br />

Eleven of the twenty-one investigated RTUs have liquid-line restriction faults, ten of<br />

them have refrigerant charge faults, <strong>and</strong> eight of them have more than two simultaneous<br />

faults. Service would be justified <strong>for</strong> nine of the twenty-one investigated RTUs.<br />
