    Chiller Capacity/Sizing



    Hi, have been reading the forums for a while but this
    is my first time posting

    I'm not a refrigeration engineer, but due to the closet
    engineers being 150km away from my town I have
    taught myself the fundementals of refrigeration over
    the last couple of years so I can repair urgent breakdowns
    if required.

    I was hoping someone might be able to advise me on what is
    required when sizing a walk in chiller. (or direct me to some
    literature)

    I have a walk in chiller that had the plant removed from it
    a few years ago and I am wanting to refit it as a learning
    project.

    The room is
    2.4m high, 2.4m wide, 2.0m deep.
    100m walls

    The room would generally be used to hold
    venison, fish (and beer) so would not be
    holding a specific product.
    Would like to have a product temp of 0 - 1 degree Celcius

    Any help would be appreciated
    Great Site!

    Shaun

    You might want to give COOLPACK software a try to simulate it yourself.

    Re: Chiller Capacity/Sizing

    I will have a look at coolpack.
    If I was wanting to figure it out by hand how would I go about it?

    Would be good to know as I won't learn much from typing numbers
    into a piece of software

    cheers
