    Ammonia Refrigeration discharge piping

    As soon as I get some calculations I will post them. I am interested in seeing them as well. My concerns are more operational than anything. Under normal circumstances I am sure it will run fine. Its the abnormal that seems to creep into the situation that I am worried about. For instance if...

    Ammonia Refrigeration discharge piping

    Thanks for the info so far. When I mention the pressure drop losses they say they will up the size to 6" to overcome that loss. Does that make sense ? Apparently the cost in labor and materials does not approach the cost for a second condenser located close to the compressors.The existing...

    Ammonia Refrigeration discharge piping

    Contractor thinks we will save money and energy by combining two refrigeration systems' to use one condenser. One system has four 200hp screws running coolers at 35 psig suction and the other has two 250hp screws running 4 ice makers at 3psig suction. The ice makers are 650 feet away from the...

    ammonia / galvanize pipe

    Sorry .... I neglected to mention the most important factor. This is an ammonia refrigeration system. the ammonia "washed" off the galvanize. We are changing the pressure reliefs due to a code requirement that they be replaced every 5 years. The pressure reliefs are set at 250# and I am...

    ammonia / galvanize pipe

    We have @ 30 pressure relief valves connected to a header that leads to a diffuser water tank. The piping and header is galvanized steel pipe .The diffuser tank is stainless steel.We have had some relief valves release causing the galvanize to wash off.Will this weaken the pipe or cause the...

    tr for ammonia

    Is there a formula that will allow you to estimate the ammonia tons of refrigeration by measuring the water entering the condenser?
