    R134a



    Hello

    I have a small cooling system with a display case and 3 small storage cabinets, its charged with R134a and has a LŽunite hermetique compressor.
    What is the ideal suction and discharge pressure for the R134a?
    it has a water cooled condenser.

    I have been told to run it at about 1 bar lp and 8 bar hp, is that correct?

    Cheers
    HSH

    Condensing pressure depends on water temperature, and evaporating temperature depends on case setpoint.

    does not sound far out though,high pressure sides a bit low is it over condensing,ie too much water, is the liquid line too cold, mind you if its working o/k who cares !

    Talking Re: R134a

    Sounds good. Low head pressures are always a good thing.
    When you say bar. are you talking gauge pessures or absolute????????????
    I'm guessing gauge or you have a dam good compressor.
