Hello.
I have a testing chamber of size 1.75 x 1.8 x 0.5 meter. The room where the testing chamber is placed will be maintained at 25C. I am required to bring down the temperature inside the chamber from 25 to -30C in one hour time. I have done a refrigeration calculation and I got the following result 10HP, -35C Evaporator temperature. I have been offered a single stage and double stage condensing unit. The supplier of the single stage told me that if I can maintain my condensing unit ambient temperature at 32 C (considering the outdoor temperature to be 45 C) I will be able to obtain -30C in my chamber. However, the supplier of the double stage disagrees to this and mentioned a single stage can obtain a temperature of -22 C only, even if the ambient temperature where the condensing unit is placed is 32C and hence he offered me a two stage condensing unit. I need to know if the single stage condensing unit can obtain temperature of -30C and if its possible what are the modifications required to be done to it?? Please keep in mind that the chamber is small sized.

Thanks!

it is imposable( your outdoor is 45 c)so how you can down it to 32

I think you mistake. you should go to 2 stage compressor in -30 c.

what kind of compressor your going to use ?

Hi Jency.
The two stage supplier would be concerned with the possible 45'C ambient. With a generously sized condensere and a 10 ' approach the condensing temp would be 55> 60'C +. Evaporating at -35'C and 60'C + conden temp., that could be outside most single stage compressors operating limits, even with oil cooler and head cooling
