    Check compressor details. Take a few pressure & temperature readings in the system - Te,sat ; Tc,sat ; SH ; SC ; compressor power - plug it all into Coolpack & you should get a very good idea of what the fridge is doing.

    You could also try a rough matching from the compressor table. Trouble is that this does not always contain the typical operating point of your final refrigerator.

    Please be a little more patient. As a student, if you had spent the eight hours studying the subject you might have found your answer by yourself.

    What you are asking could have been answered by contacting your nearest refrigerator manufacturer.

    As an approximative estimation, multiply the compressor absorbed power by 2.75 and you will get an idea of the refrigeration capacity. (for above zero coolers)
