Hello all, I wanted to ask some advice on condensing group choice for a vegetable and fruit cold storage room on a farm.
The customer wants a quote for two 8m*6m*2.6m cold rooms. As he wishes to recuperate a group he already has for one cold room I only need to quote for one condensing group.
The suppliers I have contacted have both quoted groups with comps running on 404a.
1 Unité Hermmétique TFH 4531 ZHR (5.99kw @ 0°c)
2 Copeland H8-LF-30X (9.24kw @ 0°c)
I thought 404a was better for low temp aplications and 134a would have been preferable.
Has anyone got any comments on the use of 404a in positive refrigeration, and or any harm that may come to the compressor if it's not doing the job it was designed for?
Thanks in advance
