Floating Suction and Head and Rack Refrigeration w/ Jeremy Smith
Jeremy Smith goes over floating suction and floating head refrigeration strategies. He also talks a bit more about low-ambient equipment operation.
Floating suction controls developed when we started using low-pressure controls on rack refrigeration. As the electronics advanced, we developed controls that could control temperature, which impacts pressure as well. Nowadays, controls can cross data and be much more effective at controlling pressure and temperature.
Suction pressure is the greatest contributor to a system's compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the less efficient…
