what would be the correct length and size of capillary tube which will work on the following systems:

6000 btu/hr air conditioner
1/8 HP freezer
1/3 HP beverage cooler
1/3 HP water cooler
1/5 HP refrigerator freezer

Well I am not sure that can someone give a 'correct' capillary tub for the applications request. However it would be halpfull if could be more specific about Refrigerant fluids (R600, R22, R404A, R407A, R134A ????)

For the Freezer and refrigerator freezer I assume you will need a Φ1mm. The length ????

I don't know, didn't know that we had to do tests on here.

What is the correct length and size for those items?

If we gave you all the answers then you wouldn't be studying would you?

You tell us your findings and we'll comment on the them.

Bear in mind that HP isn't really a proper duty figure.

Some refrigeration systems use pumps and compressors to move refrigerant fluid around a thermodynamic cycle in order to "pump" heat.

hi
Sorry if i'am in the wrong place but
another 3rd worlder here
wanna build a 110vdc freezer to go with my 1946 110vdc wind generator/batteries and 1/4Hp 110Vdc 1725rpm motor westinghouse 1930s
i have a Bitzer model 0 compressor
a Grunert holding plate 18x10x3"
marked 20x10 26deg
and 15' of 3/8"copper tube with a 1/16"
brazed through at the ends and running inside so 4 flare connections
tubeis
1) is this a form of condenser/capperlery tube
2) will this combo work at all?
gonna make a nice thick box for it
3)what refridgerant should i use

know your interested in big state of the art systems but i need some help
this is the boonies/hardware store with no copper 1 gas station 6000 people
every thing gets repaired here
thanks
