Selection of refrigerant distributor The following data must be known:. Refrigerant 2. Evaporator capacity. Evaporating temperature 4. Liquid temperature. Number of evaporator sections 6. Evaporator section inlet size 7. Distributor tube length 8. Expansion valve type It is then possible to determine: I. Size of distributor tubes The capacity of the individual distributor tube is calculated by dividing the total evaporator capacity by the number of uniform evaporator sections. The tube diameter can then be determined from table or figure. Sizing should be based on the average capacity of the evaporator. A sufficiently uniform distribution can be expected at capacities of between 40% and 2% of the values given in table. Example Given data:. Refrigerant: R404A 2. Evaporator capacity Q e : 20 kw. Evaporating temperature t e : - C 4. Liquid temperature T l : 20 C. Number of evaporator sections: 0 6. Evaporator section inlet size: 6 mm 7. Distributor tube length: 80 mm 8. Expansion valve with 22 mm ODF solder connection on outlet side The capacity of each individual distributor tube is 20 / 0=2.0 kw. Table shows that with an evaporating temperature of - C and R404A, a ø6 mm tube with a length of meter will yield.9 kw. Correction factors for tube length and liquid temperature are found in tables 2 and. For a tube length of 80 mm, the correction factor is.0. For a liquid temperature of 20 C, the correction factor is.24. Under the given conditions, the distributor tubes yield.9.24.0=2.47 kw. The actual load, as a percentage of the listed rating, is thus 2.0 / 2.47=0.8 or 8%. The type of distributor, inlet size and type are determined from table 4. There are two options: RD 49 or RD 62. The rated capacity of the expansion valve can be found using table 6 together with table 4: RD 49: 8 0.68=8 kw RD 62: 20 0.68=82 kw Both distributors can be used, but RD 49 is selected because the rated capacity is closer to the evaporator capacity. The standard nozzle diameter is determined from table : 8 mm. The required distributor type is determined from table 7: RD49-C08-B0. Please contact Danfoss for the code number.
