Condensing Unit selection ?
Can someone help me to select the right condensing unit that fulfills the following specification :
Capacity=.8 KW (I think it's too low put my application to cool 5 litres of antifreeze to -20°C)
Evaporating temperature=-25°C
Condensing temperature=40°C
Superheat=10
subcooling=10 these two are recommendations and can be changed if I am wrong?
I am using coolpack to get the cycle information for R-22 and R404A
The Refrigerant: R22
Data:
Te [°C] = -25.00
Tc [°C] = 40.00
DT subcooling [K] = 10.00
DT superheat [K] = 10.00
Isentropic efficiency = 1.00
-------------------------------------------------
Calculated:
Qe [kJ/kg] = 165.098
Qc [kJ/kg] = 219.861
W [kJ/kg] = 54.763
COP [-] = 3.01
Pressure ratio [-] = 7.630
Refrigerant: R404A
Data:
Te [°C] = -25.00
Tc [°C] = 40.00
DT subcooling [K] = 10.00
DT superheat [K] = 10.00
-------------------------------------------------
Calculated:
Qe [kJ/kg] = 115.920
Qc [kJ/kg] = 158.189
W [kJ/kg] = 42.270
COP [-] = 2.74
Pressure ratio [-] = 7.266
-------------------------------------------------
As you can see the cop for R-22 is higher and it's price is much less than R404A
but when I go to http://www.embraco.com/catalog/Default.aspx?language=EN
to select a condensing unit as they are available in my country if found the evaporating temperature for R22 is ranging from -15 to 10°C ?
Can someone please help me cause I am not an expert if something i don't understand please tell me.

Re: Condensing Unit selection ?
I think this unit will be ok for your application - UC UNT2180GK 220V/50Hz 515301512
I would use 507 as refrigerant, you can use also 22 with the same condensing unit.

Re: Condensing Unit selection ?
Thank you for your answer I really appreciate.
In the product specification, the refrigerant is 404A is that alright? Can I use another refrigerant while the specification recommends a specified one?
One more think if you excuse me
do you use the website (http://www.embraco.com/catalog/Default.aspx?language=EN) for selection or you go to pdfs catalog?

Re: Condensing Unit selection ?
You can use 404, 507 or 22. Just make sure that oil is POE. With 22 you will get lower discharge pressure.
I use my supplier web page for selection.
Good luck with your project.
