I wish to use a single large compressor to service 3 cold plates and 3 air
conditioning evaporators, but I am not a refrigeration expert, so if my
thinking is incorrect please let me know. Each one of these (users) will
have their own mechanical temperature controlled evaporator valve. I assume
the compressor should be cycled by head pressure with an overtemp sensor for
safety. I would like to use a salt water cooled condensor on the high
pressure side and a freon gas that changes state around -40 C. Please
advise. Do I need an accumulator of some description on either side? If so,
what? Each one of the users have 3/8" in/out tubes. How do I size the
compressor? Any tips or books on this subject would be welcome.
