I'm pretty much a newbie to refrigeration, and would like to know a little about using propane as a refrigerant. Just a couple of quick questions:
1)At room temperature (let's say 20 deg/c) what is the pressure that propane gas will liquify at?
2)If a system was measured as 150psi high side with ambient temperature @ 20 deg/c ambient, how much would this pressure vary? Let's say that ambient temperatures could go as low as 0 degrees and as high as 30 degrees. How high/low is the system pressure likely to go? Wouldn't want to risk any explosions, especially with hydrocarbons.
Many thanks!
