Refrigerant charge, calculation
(OP)
Hi there !
hope you had an happy Thanksgiving, US folks !
Please, I am contacting you for following topic
I have been asked to calculate the refrigerant charge in an air cooled condenser.
As per my knowledge , the rule of thumb is
- if condenser is flooded, you calculate the internal volume multiplied by liquid density
- if not you consider 1/3rd of this value.
where liquid density is the density of the liquid outside of the condenser.
Please, does anybody know a different calculation method or can suggest me some literature to review ?
Thanks in advance !

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

Mr Berkshire, many thanks for your tip
Indeed this is the way I know.
But if look for example to this catalogue

, page 24,table 10
or
You can find a table with refrigerant charge.
Does anybody know how these values are derived ?
Thanks
