    Condensing unit with two coolers



    Hi
    3 hp Condensing unit connected to 20000 btu evaporator in Walk In Cooler. Customer wants to add
    Small Cooler case maybe 4000 btu to the same line.
    I heard that condensing unit should be bypassed to have this setup

    PS
    Thanks Magoo
    I did not put my problem correctly

    you can bypass the condensing unit if you dont want refrigeration effect.what is your grasp of the term basic commercial condensing unit,mine is compressor+condenser+receiver=simple condensing unit

    Sorry for my stupidity
    My question is simple
    Some times and maybe more when Walk in Cooler solenoid will close line
    3 HP compressor will push refrigerant to 4000 btu coil ?

    Re: Condensing unit with two coolers

    Thank you for replay
    May be I cannot explain clearly
    It is two different evaporators in two different locations
    This system will have big difference in capacity
    Between 20000 btu +4000btu (24000) and 4000
    And compressor on low capacity will starting and stopping continuously
    I am not sure but I think I found answer
    I need discharge bypass valve
    What do you think
    Thank you again

    YOU NEED A HOT GAS BY PASS VALVE FOR COMPENSATING THE CAPACITY DROP ( DIFFERENCE IN BTUs) . this would ensure that the condensing unit operates on small capacity evaporator . alternatively , you can install a frequency drive . HOWEVER THE LOW CAPACITY EVAPORATOR USING A HIGH CAPACITY COND UNIT WILL RESULT IN OIL RETURN ISSUES .
