Hi all
I am new to RE and need your help.

For an ice bank tank, the refrigeration load is 23.68 kW at -2 Deg C evaporating temperature (and 40 Deg C condensing temperature):

1. Can someone tell me the ideal diameter and length of copper pipe coil to be used as the evaporator for the system? The compressor manual indicates suction line of size 1 1/8" (ie., 22 mm).

2. If the cold water flow rate required for the application is 3000 litres per hour, what is the ideal volume of the ice bank tank required?

3. It would also be helpful if someone can actually give the general formula for coil design based on refrigeration load, involving the diameter and length of copper pipe (or based on surface area).

Kamil Mohammed.
