Hi All...:)
I am working in a factory fabricating refrigerated cabinets as per client requirement. The technicians, not doing any calculation put one model of compressor, usually higher capacity than required.(Danfoss, Made in Germany, Hermatic models) Then fabricating either fin & tube type or tube_wound_around_inner tank type evaporator. Gas charging is little more funny. They start charging and if the discharge line near the compressor feeling cold, will stop the charging. If the client complaints about improper cooling, first will increase or decrease the refrigerant, even if no effect, then will replace the condensing unit. I am sure it is not the proper method. My question is how to Design a refrigerated cabinet.? I know the 4 components (1. Transmission load, 2. Air Change. 3. Product Load. 4. Miscellanneous load) of heat gain to design a walk-in cold room. same method can we use in refrigerators? Then how to design a custom evaporator?
How to calculate the amount of refrigerant?
What should be the low & high pressure?
Refrigerant is R134a for Coolers and R404 for freezers. Ambient temperature: 40 degree C
Inner and outer wall of our cabinet is 0.8mm thick stainless steel and in between 50 mm thick PUF insulation, (40kg/m3), injected.
I know the storage temperature and humidity conditions required for almost all products our clients are using.
As part of my Mechanical engineering course, refrigeration was one of the subject of study, more focused on theory than practical. So I need help from the refrigeration Gurus to connect the theory with actual parctice. Considering the case of a cabinet with inner size: 1900mm Length x 600 mm width x 600 cmm high with 3 no. 500x500 mm opening on length side for doors, to store fruits, can anybody explain me the design process?
With many many thanks in advance
