Hi,
I have limited information but maybe someone can point me in the right direction
I am installing 2 Vogt Ice machines 25,000 lbs of ice per day per system.
The refrigerant is NH3
The Two machines will share a common surge drum but I have questions
Can I have one wet suction header connecting the two in parallel?
Or should each machine have its own wet suction back up to the surge drum?
My dry suction back to the engine room will be in excess of 500'
How do you calculate the necessary line size and do I need to reduce the line as it travels out to the surge drum?
