Hi All
I've just got back in to the trade after a number of years out and got myself Fgased last year. After leaving the trade in the late nineties (for various reasons) the big learning curve is the replacement gases. From what I've read 404a and 407c aren't poles apart but there is some significant difference in glide. I have an Aspera condensing unit running on 404a and an evaporator running on 407 i.e. what they were both designed to run on.
The blower is a Beermaster single fan with an externally equalised TXV. Although the markings from the pot have disappeared as far as I can make out it's the same relay used with the Embraco 1 and 1/4 HP unit, So the pairing isn't a million miles away. When I used to get a lot of free trade (cellar coolers) previously I nearly always used a 1hp unit and perhaps on the odd ocassion used a 1 and 1/2 HP L'Unite unit. I know it's not an exact science i.e. keeping a room in a pub to 55f/12c as it is a freezer room to -20 but my thoughts are that I could get away with a straightforward TXV change. I would naturally have to make note of the amendments on the evaporator. Any help greatly appreciated
