ARE YOU INTERESTED? MERCHANDISE PSYCHOMETRIC TOOLS ********* FORUM ********* 635 registered members (in addition to the thousands of 'guests' that pop in…). Hot topics currently being discussed in the forum (amoungst the 448 active threads): "Anybody know of any supermarket simulator programs to download?" "Then, the main question I'm asking here, what if the valve selected was a little undersized and to meet the required capacity for a given dP and liquid temperature the superheat setting had to be reduced. For any subsequent low load condition such as fan failure or iced coil, would this undersized valve with a compensating low superheat adjustment have a greater tendency to floodback in comparison to a correctly sized correctly set TEV…?" "What is the correct method to check subcool? I take it for a correctly charged system subcool would be in the region 15K. Also how can one tell when an expansion valve is "hunting"? I know these questions seem pretty elementary but subcool, superheat are two of the major aspects which control the stability and balance of a system, and also show up if the system is not designed correctly, ie: mismatch of components…" Why not drop in & have your say? http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/chat/ PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL NOT SEE ALL THE DISCUSSION THREADS UNTIL YOU REGISTER AS A MEMBER.

We have agreed terms with further agencies and will be presenting an estimated 250+ CURRENT VACANCIES in the next couple of weeks (US vacancies are coming…). ******************** ANSWER THIS...? ******************** "Here is my problem... I have 2 different freezer contractors quoting me two different equipment sizes for the same walk in freezer box. Here is the backstory: Freezer will be 15x30x8 with floor. 4 inch urethane. 1 60x84 door. The box will need to maintain a storage temp. of -20F for ice cream. Product will enter @ -10F. (200 lbs/day) for the purpose of storage w/low door traffic. On to the mechanicals: This will be a (2) Cond. unit / (2) Evap setup. (separate systems) Both contractors quoted with 5HP Low temp scroll cond. units (Russell # ML0500L44) that are rated at 13200 BTUH @ -30F Suction temp. @ 95F ambient for a total of 26400 BTUH. The evaporater selection is where it gets tricky! One Contractor choose the Russell # AE46-164B 4 fan /elec. defrost rated @ 15000 BTUH capacity @10 Degree T.D. at a -30 Evap temp. total capacity = 30,000 BTUH (2 evaps). The 2nd Contractor chose the Russell # AE36-140B which is rated @ 13,300 for a total of 26,600 BTUH at the same specs. Summary: System 1 Cond. units 26,400 System 1 Evaps. 30,000 =8.8 T.D. System 2 Cond. Units 26,400 System 2 Evaps. 26,600 =9.9 T.D. System 1 quote argues that 8.8 T.D. is acceptable with short pipe runs etc. for a freezer. System 2 quote says that 9.9 T.D. system is more efficient and is better matched. Also that I cant squeeze the extra capacity out of the evaps. if the condensing units cant provide it! O.K. which is the better designed system?? What are the pros and cons to each, or is it a matter of right and wrong? I am in Western WA state where the average daily temp is 50F. these are outdoor units.(Box and Cond. units). If anyone has the ability to run box load calculations on this set-up please do, as I wish to know if they are even sized right for my application. Thank you for any and all feedback!" http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/chat/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=500 ...Then why not visit the FORUM where this & hundreds of other similar questions are being asked: http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/chat/ ****************************** ARE YOU INTERESTED...? ****************************** Would you like to write for the site?
