    Single stage -40 °C



    Hello, I have a small fridge and I need 1,5 kW of refrigeration power when it's temperature is -40°C. What kind of gas would you use?

    I tried with R404A, but the temperature can't reach -40°C.

    Any idea?

    Thank you!

    first you need a compressor that can reach -40, I would suggest R-507 or R-410A.

    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

    I think 1.5 kW capacity at -47C evaporating temperature... and it's may be two stage semihermetic compressor on R507/404
    In some places will have to think ...

    You building a complete circuit or salvaging a small fridge or? 2-stage compounded will get you there and can be built up from pretty much stock pieces. Autocascade is the easiest overall arrangement but you would be buying a complete lab fridge.....Not something you want to design as a One-off.
