pressure control settings
In pump down refrigeration systems what cut-in/cut-out settings on the pressure control are ideal or correct? I'm asking for both medium and low temp applications. Thanks.

Re: pressure control settings
Cut out:
Low enough that the compressor don't stop under normal operating conditions. Lets say SST -20*C on a system operating normally at -10*C. -40*C on a system operating at -30*C.
Cut in:
Slightly lower than the normal room temperature. Lets say SST -25*C on a -20*C freezer and -5*C on a coold room system.
Spesific conditions on each system may make it necessarry to deviate from these values, but as a starting point they should be ok.

Re: pressure control settings
When pumping down or if the thing lost its gas you do not want it to go into a vacum so set the cutout at just above zero about 0.2b or 2-3psi in old money.
For cut in you want as wide a differential as possible without the temp being affected and that will depend on the refrigerant and the opperating temp.

So by room temperature, you mean box/space temperature? Does the same go for multiple evap/cooler applications? In this case is it possible to set cut in pressure slightly above evap coil freezing temp (converted to pressure) to allow defrost without affecting temp too much in any box connected to this system. Thus the elimination of any mechanical defrost timers?

Re: pressure control settings
Yes, box temperature.
Yes, set the cut in slightly lower than the SST for the lowest temp room or case. But be aware of short cycling protection if it is not sufficient capasity regulation on the compressor(s).
This solution is new to me. It seems to be a rudimentary defrost system. I will not advice it.Last edited by SteinarN; 03-05-2008 at 03:59 AM.

Re: pressure control settings
Ok I am in the USA we are in Farenhight and PSIG not kilo pascals, CAn any help with correct temp/pressure chart for r414b hotshot and is it close for off cycle air cooled defrost? as is R 12
Please no slamming to us here in CAlifornia From the saddle Bill

Re: pressure control settings
im knew to all this stuff just completed my second fridge year and wondered about stuff like how would u know what to set pressure switches at like low and high side there must be some sort of rule of thumb?

Re: pressure control settings
on the high side the hp switch must stop the compressor before the relief valve blows
