Re: Converting from water cooled to air cooled refrigerator

Not sure what you mean Andrew, can you explain some more about your 'goes off' problem? Maybe we can help.

We manufacture both air cooled only and air / water cooled condensing units and the air /...

Re: Convert Freezer to Refrigerator?

Yes Jerry, it will work fine, the controller simply switches the compressor on and off so it doesn't care what type of evap you have.

Re: Convert Freezer to Refrigerator?

Good point Stormy, but I doubt the plates are eutectic. Far too thin and more likely are stainless wrapped cyclic evaporators.

Regards digital controller, suggest an Elitech STC type. They are...

Re: Oil for Danfoss BD50 compressor

Re: Refrigerator Box insulation rebuild, Isotherm 2351

Hi AV, Yes they are standard at 12VDC but can be supplied to power up from 12, 24 or 36VDC and 110 or 240 VAC with priority automatically to higher voltage present.

And @MicHughV wouldn't it be...

Re: Refrigerator Box insulation rebuild, Isotherm 2351

Raymond, the core problem here is that there are NO TX valve orifices small enough to correctly suit these micro compressors simply because there is virtually no demand for them.
Contrary to...

Re: Refrigerator Box insulation rebuild, Isotherm 2351

The idea is totally ludicrous but I think you know that...

Re: Refrigerator Box insulation rebuild, Isotherm 2351

Surely this is a joke?
Doesn't anyone promoting this have any idea of how a TX valve functions?
Really!

Re: Understanding the variable speed refrigerant compressor’s performance

Good idea Bowdrie but the low draw reported indicates a bit short of gas (low return gas volume) which as you know restricts compressor cooling. Perhaps a visual as to how much the evaporator plate...

Re: Understanding the variable speed refrigerant compressor’s performance

Depends on the ambient temperature, condensing temp etc as the
high side condensing temp can be as much as 20C higher than the ambient. Generally a compressor temp of 50 to 60C is not an issue....

Re: Refrigerator Box insulation rebuild, Isotherm 2351

Raymond the CM capillary is most likely of an ID and length to suit low temp evaporator and will need altering to suit the eutectic evap. Suggest using the 'DanSel' interactive tool to find the...
