Suction pressure setpoint for York chillers
Thread Content
The pressure in the suction surge tank of the chiller is 0.035 Mpa. Meanwhile, the inlet pressure of the chiller is 0.145 Mpa. Where does this pressure come from? Is it related to secondary gases?
Learn about York Refrigeration's ice-making cycle and how the suction pressure set point works. York Refrigeration’s ice-making cycle begins with the suction pressure set point. This set point is based on the ambient temperature and humidity conditions outside of the unit. The suction pressure set point acts as a guide to the refrigeration system as to when to start or stop making ice. The suction pressure set point will increase as temperatures increase and decrease as temperatures decrease. However, the suction pressure must stay within a certain range in order to maintain efficient operation. If the pressure set point falls outside of the range, the ice-making cycle will not be able to properly operate.
