Compressor cooling capacity

[mankam]

Compressor manufacturers provide data like mechanical power and cooling capacity. Does anyone know, how they calculate that cooling capacity? I mean it is obvious that cooling capacity will depend on temperatures of suction and discharge sides, thus maybe there are any standard temperatures for calculating this.

Hi, mankam :)

welcome to RE forums ....
