Hi experts,
I have MBP hermetic compressor (Emraco J9226GK)
It has evaporating temperature range from -20C to +15C
Can I replace it by LBP compressor (Danfoss SC21CL),which has evaporating temperature range from -45C to -10C ?
Or I have to select HBP compressor (L'Unite Hermetique
CAJ 4517Z),which has evaporating temperature range
from -25C to +10C ?
All compressors for R404A.
What do you mean about compressor manufactures
Embraco
Danfoss
L'Unite Hermetique
Elektrolux
Thanks for any advice.
Whats the application
What is the cab temp you trying to achieve?
Hi Abe
Integral multideck cabinet should supply temperature
from 0C to +7C
Go with the HBP. fitting the LBP on that unit is an invitation for a burnout.
As Sling says.........its got to be High Back PressureQuote:

Of course the correct thing would be to go HBP but sometimes life can be difficult...

We bought a cold room off Foster for -22 deg c. It came with R134a and would not pull lower than -13 deg c. Wwe changed the gas to R404a, the compressor was suitable for the pressures, room flew down and never looked back:)Quote:

If your LBP compressor is R404a, you could run it on R134a for a MBP or HBP application.
Kind Regards Andy:)
Whats wrong with the MBP?
And i used to engineer these unitsQuote:

and they were a coldroom or freezer by swapping power from one eliwell controller preset at +1 to another preset at -20 deg c ....

i think he,s saying his MBP pots dead and wants to use a LBP,even if its a cappilary system it will expire in no time,as the guys advise you,go HBP with start capacitor,andy thats intersting about that foster freezer,must have been a friday afternoon job, was it hot gas defrost aswell? bet it grunted a bit if it was.

lets face it, how many of us have had burnt fingers from touching a running compressor to check how cold it is?
Im surprised one came out of the factory like that, did you get a credit for the rectification work?Quote:

Just my thoughts,
regards all.
Yep hot gas defrost, with a water cooled condenser and a remote dry air cooler.Quote:

I was on site, looked at it, compressor was R404a, the pressure switch for bringing on the cond pump was even set for 12 bar. I said to try recharging with R404a, as the compressor was fit for it.
The things a bloody blast freezer now:D

No disrespect but on the data plates they also include the type of gas which is used in the insulation of the panels/sides which as it happens is R134aQuote:
