    refrigerant connections



    Hi guys I'm still a novice to coil design;I wanted to ask for how one can determine the diameter and length of the gas & liquid connections on an air-cooled condenser coil after you have done the coil sizing for the required duty?

    Read up on flow resistance to decide on what size your pipes should be.

    Also, oil return requirements for your system.

    Google "cool pack refrigeration" and choose the Danish Institute of Technology result, then download the free cool pack software.
