Re: Refrigerant Kg to Litres conversion
Density of any liquid depend on temperature!
You need temperature to find specific volume at that temperature. Multiply your specific volume with your weight and you get actual liquid volume. All data you need you could find and calculate in Cool-pack software in Refrigerant calculator.
For example:
T=-24
specific volume of saturated liqid: 0,00073 m3/kg
18000 kg x 0,00073m3/kg = 13,14m3
Your volume of 18t of liquid r134a at -24°C is 13,14m3

I don't think they do a recovery bottle that big anyways.

Re: Refrigerant Kg to Litres conversion
Funny ya should say that because that is exactly what I needed to know for as I have doing some large refrigerant transfers recently.
With know scales and only a sight glass liters indicator I had to work it out
I never thought of using coolpack
Nike to the rescue again ,Cheers for Nike

Re: Refrigerant Kg to Litres conversion
In addition to coolpack softwear
nike123's exampel for refrigerant in liquid state.
In some cases you can measure only pressure of refrigerant and than with coolpack's help calculate specific volume.
P.S. manometer measure relative pressure, pressure in coolpack in absolute pressure.Last edited by Aik; 13-08-2010 at 09:33 AM.
In some places will have to think ...
