R410A in a R404A Compressor
Hi all,
I'm new in the forum so I hope to do all things corretly, if not please correct me
I would like to ask you the following: I have an R404A reciprocating compressor. For an application I would like to use R410A in that compressor to give it an higher refrigeration power. The evaporation temperature is -45°C and condensation temperature is maximum +40°C. I know that the discharge pressure of the R410A is higher then R404A, but limiting the operating range of the R410A at max +40°C (so more or less 23 bar), could works the compressor well? I have already checked that the compressor has an high pressure security valve that works between 28-34 bar.
Let me know about it. I know that R410A is used usually on high temperature application with more robust compressors (like scroll), but if I limit the maximum operative pressure and work at low temperature, could do an R404A compressor the job?
Thank you in advance for support.
