Chiller Coils

[GBRD]

Hi All,

Is it possible to convert an existing CFC refrigerant coil to water chiller coil......i.e, water through tube rather than R404A refrigerant?

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Clean the oil from the tubes and you can run what you like through, just don't change your mind and try to go back to refrigerant.

The duty will probably change though.

Hi
as said this might be possible, but your pressure drop will be entirley different, this could cause problems!
i dont think i would start an adventure like this!

thats a good point Goshen........any other thoughts of small modifications on U-bends to the circuit etc ........?

cheers

A DX coil will have a distributor and/or orifice plus circuiting for refrigerants. A coil circuited for water will be different.
