Re: flow rate
How high is the surge drum above the coil? Is the coil not performing properly or have your needs changed?

Re: flow rate
Are you feeding sub-cooled liquid into surge drum, and what is the dry suction outlet relationship ? you are asking for trouble by changing levels in surge drum. Hopefully you have a spare compressor in stock, because you are bound to break something sooner than later. You change system balance and the system will bite you. Generally in the wallet. Iceman chime in around-a-bout now, with your wise and extended experience.

If this is indeed a gravity flooded evaporator with a surge drum the flow rate is already greater than 1.5:1. At full load the circulating rate is probably around 8 or 10! The higher load creates a lot more gas, so the circulation rate actually increase as the load on the coil increases. It decreases as the load is reduced.If all else fails, ask for help.
