One of our customers in the Caribbean has asked us to quote a gas-driven compressor that can be used for backup to the compressor units operating his warehouse. He is also curious whether it would be something he could run as his main refrigeration, if it proved less expensive than electricity.
The loads comprise about 200,000 btu/hr at -20 F, and 175,000 at 20 F. Would a small screw compressor be advisable here? Would it perform efficiently utilizing the economizer port for the medium temperature duty? How would one go about sizing such a beast, or is the idea a bit off?
Any suggestions?
