Parallel System

Hey Guys

Working on a 140 Horsepower Hussman Rack R-22 rack system. If the system is running 100% all 5 evaps and all condenser fans all compressors what should the receiver level be running at?

Thanks Tim

sounds like a final exam question. need more info

Please give my the linear footage and diameter of all liquid and suction lines connected to the rack (rounded to the nearest foot) as well as all m/n #s of every evaporator and condensor. I also need a count of every pipe fitting used and the exact ambient temperature and size of the receiver, then I'll guess.

I hope you get my point, there is no answer other than 'not empty'

As mentioned there is no exact %, the level will vary depending on ambient temps. and load demand. Typically the receiver level might range from 20 to 50% depending on the extremes of your climate. Most receiver level alarms will trip at below 10% after timeout and stop timing out at approx. 15%.

If the systems are all stat/solenoid controlled as it sounds like then the level would vary more than an EPR controlled system, proper receiver and condenser sizing would also play a role in the final equation, depending on all the variables (somewhere between 15% and 80%)

Thanks for the replies guys I will get the info as sson as possible as i am in jacksonville and we are getting soaked with this tropical storm at the present.

Thanks Tim
