HI,

Can somebody please let me know the ideal refrigerant pressures High and Low for R407c, R410a, R22, R134a......

Thanks

Depends what they are being used for.

non inverter AC systems and fridges

If you look at your gauges or better still get one of those slide rule thingies there will be a chart of pressures and temperatures. Change the temperature and the pressure will change also. Have a look at this and get a feel for how different evaporating or condensing temperatures will alter the presssures.
So a room ac system cooling a room at 30C will have a different suction pressure to one running in a room at 18C.

Your question is impossible to answer accurately without specific system operating conditions.

I may well be wrong in guessing your motives for asking but there is no chart of correct pressure to see if a system is working ok. Its not that simple.

opps sorry wrong forum..my bad:off topic:

Varies with design conditions . However a compression ratio below 10 should be safe or ideal pressure.

Ok Thanks, I wasnt meaning an exact pressure and also I was meaning a fridge operating at 2 or 3 degrees, and an AC system controlling at 21 degrees for example.

As Monkey said above, use your PT tables to find the expected working pressures/temperatures.

For reading the pressure temperature chart you need the suction pressure and discharge pressure.
And the pressure depends on ambient prevailing also.

good onya multi your right,one woulds think that everything is related at different pressures to achieve evaporating temperature,
triple top for me
cheers

hi colsy welcome to fridges. for the reqired temp, use an evaporating temp/pressure about 10c lower than the temperature required. its a useful rule of thumb. regardless of the refrigerant used, the evaporating temperature will mostly follow that rule, so find the refrigerant you're interested in on a comparator, find the temperature you want the product to be stored at, reduce this by 10c and convert to pressure.
et voila as they say in france; there you have it.

Thanks for that bill, thats exactly whay I was asking to know.
