HP Rating

[Kompulsa]

Hello.

My refrigerator compressor's datasheet says that the cooling capacity at -23.3 degrees C is 240 watts. Does this mean that it is a 1/3 HP compressor? Or is it still in the 1/4 HP range?

Also, someone in the refrigeration store said that 1/4 HP compressors use the same size capillary tube as 1/3 HP compressors, is this true?

Thank you for your time.

What is the compressor model, we can't see the data sheet from here, sorry.

Here is the compressor datasheet: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/363920/FGS80HAW-pdf.html

If you read your own data sheet you will be able to see that answer that you seek, it's all there in black and white.

I'm sorry I overlooked that. I just saw it earlier.

It doesn't answer the capillary tube question, though.

The size of the capillary depends on the design of the system, not the size of the compressor.
