Suction superheat is the heat added to the refrigerant above that required to change its state from liquid to vapour (as happens in the evaporator). This heat is added both in the evaporator, in the suction line and (where applicable) in the suction accumulator.Discharge superheat is suction superheat plus heat of compression, and must be removed in the condenser before condensation, the change of state from vapour to liquid, can occur.The HVAC Veteran

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
The right temperature to superheat and sub cool a substance varies greatly. Water for example takes temperatures above 212 degrees to superheat and temperatures below 32 degrees to sub cool.
Superheat depends on the type of metering device you are using in the equipment as well as the current state of the load. With a fixed orifice, the superheat will be high, about 20 to 30 degrees when the box is warm, down around 10-15 when the box is cold. With a txv, the superheat should be constant, normally between 10-15 degrees. It is best to check the superheat at the outlet of the evaporator. this will ensure that the compressor does not slug with liquid refrigerant.
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.

Excess superheat in a capillary tube system means that there is _____________charge.
As the outdoor ambient temperature increases, the compressor superheat will decrease. This is because the increased heat load on the system causes the refrigerant to evaporate faster, resulting in lower superheat levels. It is important to monitor and adjust the system to maintain optimal superheat levels for efficient operation.
