Hi,
I am sizing a condensor unit based on capacity. Can someone confirm my capacity calculation.
1. I start with an evaporator capacity of 160kW. With the refrigerant enthalpies and capacity of 160kW I calculate the massflow. Massflow=Capacity_evap / (Enthalpy_out - Enthalpy_in) Units of enthalpy are in kJ/kg
2. With the massflow calculated in step 1 and the working conditions of the condensor I determine the enthalpies in the condensor. The condensor capacity is then Capacity_cond = Massflow x (Enthalpy_cond_in - Enthalpy_cond_out)
Is this the right method of determining the required condensor capacity?
Please let me know many thanks in advance
