I have this customer who is renovating his entire deli....he has a low temp walk in box in place in the store....he plans to have a medium temp walk in installed outside behind the store...he asked if his low temp refrigeration system be used as a medium temp I believe it's a 6HP heat craft with a Copeland scroll....I told me already that I doubt it can because compressors have different operating ranges.....so can it be used for medium temp....can I use the equipment with some changes?

Would not recommend since the compressor would be operating at it's pull down range all the time and would most likely trip on overload.0

Some changes, im sure you could piece it together.
Might want a whole new evap, but atleast the txv will likely need changing.
If you want to reuse the old sled, pull its numbers up on line or have the refrg supply house help ya. See what size box at your new setpoint will allow your old condenser to work at. Remember if your moving this outside, the constant condensing load you had inside (if it was on the walk in, in the kitchen) will likely change and adjust your load too.
If its going to be way colder and your putting this outside, you'll need some head pressure control to assist.
He'll save a buck on a condenser, you'll have some old equipment to work on. Sounds like a fair trade to me!0 -
