Newbie question:
I have a display cabinet that originally had two Electrolux MS26TB (power 1.2 HP, displacement 25.93) compressors. The secondary one (kicks in a short delay after the first one) was replaced last year with a new Embraco NJ9232GK (1.25 HP, displacement 26.2cm3). The primary one has now failed and I’ve been able to able to source a new almost identical R404A compressor with control box for half the trade price of an equivalent or higher rated Cubigel or Embraco. Only problem is it has a lower HP value of 1.0 and a displacement value of 24.2cc. Both the engineers I’ve asked to fit it are trying to get me to buy more expensive new or re-purposed higher capacity ones one from them instead.
Would the lower powered CAJ9513Z be up to the job but taking slightly longer to get the temperature down? Could I replace the Embraco with the CAJ9513Z and make the Embraco the primary one or would it not be cost effective in terms of extra labour and refrigerant cost?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
