Select FNH, FNV, FNVT capacitors for installation of multiple refrigeration rooms sharing the same compression system.

The multi-compression system supplies power for multiple cold storage rooms with different temperatures. The choice of FNH, FNV and FNVT capacitors for this kind of installation has particularity that does not exist in the system dedicated to a single camera.

In multi-camera installation, the total heat load is not the simple sum of the maximum load of each camera. It is unlikely that all cameras will reach their peak thermal requirements at the same time. Concurrency factor should be applied to avoid oversize capacitor.

Concurrency coefficient depends on the number of cameras and the type of use. For two or three cameras, the coefficient is usually 0.80-0.85; For 4-6 cameras, it is between 0.70 and 0.78. Even so, it is always necessary to ensure that the capacitor can withstand the most unfavorable situation.

The condenser must work at a stable condensation pressure, although the total heat load varies greatly due to the number of chambers cooled at the same time. This is why the EC continuous adjustment fan is highly recommended for multi-cameras, which can adjust the air flow according to the instant charging.

A common mistake is to select the capacitor by adding all the maximum power of each camera, regardless of the concurrency factor. As a result, the equipment is too large, almost always working under very low load, and the condensation pressure is too low in cold seasons.

Different rooms can be equipped with different ranges of DL,DD and DJ evaporators, working at different evaporation temperatures. This will not change the size of the capacitor, but it does need to be adjusted on each evaporation branch.

Special attention should be paid to winter conditions. In winter, due to the low outdoor temperature, there are few requirements for cold rooms, and the condensation pressure may drop too much. If the pressure is too low, the expansion valve cannot work normally. In order to solve this problem, a condensing pressure regulating system, such as air bypass or partially stopping the fan, is used.

According to xindacool's data, many multi-chamber projects have poor performance, because they adjust the size of capacitors without concurrent factors or winter pressure adjustment.

FAQ
What is the multi-camera concurrency factor? This coefficient assumes that not all cameras are working at peak load at the same time.
Is the maximum power of all cameras directly added to select the capacitor? No, the concurrency factor must be applied to avoid over-expansion.
What is the recommended fan type for multi-camera systems? Continuously adjust the EC fan to adapt to the change of strong load.
What are the problems in multi-camera facilities in winter? The condensation pressure is too low, which damages the operation of the expansion valve.
Will different DL, DD and DJ models affect the calculation of capacitors? No, the size of the capacitor is calculated according to the total heat load of the system.

Key words: multi-chamber refrigeration system, concurrent factors, FNH condenser, FNV condenser, FNVT condenser, EC fan, condensation pressure adjustment, DL series air cooler, DD series air cooler, DJ series air cooler.
