4.2.1 Specification of selected compressor:

[7]

There will be five number of units placed at five locations with each unit cooling capacity
of (62/5) 12.4 TR. For this cooling load two refrigeration circuits will be used. So, the individual
unit capacity for cooling will be 6.2 TR.
So, the components selection for the refrigeration circuit will be done on the basis of
above cooling load.
From the Scroll Compressor catalogue of Danfoss we can select the following model of
compressor with min and max cooling capacity.
