Description:

Russells Remote Air Cooled Condensers are designed to provide the optimum in heat transfer efficiency and are constructed for
years of reliable performance. The large air cooled condenser, now the accepted standard, is more than an assemblage of fans and
coil. It is a highly engineered element of the refrigeration system. The reliability of the system depends as much on the performance
of the condenser as on the performance of the compressor. Only the highest grades of commercially available Aluminum, Copper
and galvanized steel go into the manufacture of each air cooled condenser. To ensure trouble free installation and operation, every
unit must pass the high standards of our Quality Control Program at each stage of production.

For the proper selection of an air cooled condenser it is necessary

to know the total heat rejection of the condenser. The Total Heat
of Rejection (THR) is equivalent to the sum of the Net
Refrigerating Effect (NRE) plus the heat of compression added by
the compressor. The amount of heat added to the refrigerant will
depend on the style of compressor, open or suction cooled, and
the operating conditions of the system.

Whenever the THR values are available from the compressor

manufacturer they should be used in selecting a condenser.

For those cases in which the THR data is unavailable it can be

quickly estimated using the following equation and the appropriate
factor from Tables 1 or 2.
Eq. (1) THR = Compressor Capacity x Heat Rejection Factor

In those cases where the refrigeration system is of a multiple or

cascade style, the following equations should be used to estimate
the total heat of rejection.

Open Compressor
Eq. (2) THR = Compressor Capacity + (2545 x BHP)
Suction Cooled Compressor
Eq. (3) THR = Compressor Capacity + (3413 x KW)

Altitude at which a condenser is to operate will also affect its

capacity. In order to correctly select a condenser at a specific
altitude, use the following equation and the appropriate correction
factor from Table 3.
Eq. (4) THR Corrected =THR Design x Altitude Correction Factor

Calculate:
1. Total Heat Rejection
2. Design temperature difference
3. Condenser size
4. Actual system TD
5. Actual condensing temperature

Solution:
1. Calculate the system THR from Table 2, a suction cooled
compressor, at 110F condensing temperature and 20F evaporator temperature, will have a heat rejection factor of 1.33.
THR = Compressor Capacity x Heat Rejection Factor
THR = 299,250 BTUH

THR Corrected Altitude = THR x Altitude Corr. Factor

THR Corrected Altitude = 336,656 BTUH

2. Design TD = Condensing Temp. - Ambient Temp.

Design TD = 10F

3. Select condenser size:

From page 5 locate double width ACE section of the page.
Then using the TD of 10F calculated in Step 2, go to the
appropriate column and select a condenser whose THR equals
or exceeds that of which we calculated in Step 1; 336,656
BTUH.
A model ACE075B-08A with a THR of 352,000 BTUH will meet
the required conditions.
4. Eq.(5) Actual TD =
Design TD x Design THR
Actual Condenser Capacity at Design TD
Actual TD = 9.6F
5. Eq.(6) Actual Condensing Temp. = Actual TD + Ambient Temp.
Actual Condensing Temp. = 109.6F

- For R-404A applications multiply required capacity ratings by 0.98 and for R-134a selections multiply required capacity by 1.05
then make selection from R-22 table using corrected capacity.
Shaded areas indicate that specific models will require 1/2" diameter tubing over the standard 3/8" diameter tubing at certain
operating TDs. At TDs not listed in the performance tables, conversion to 1/2" tube diameter tubing may be required for
optimal performance. Contact factory for non-standard conditions.
* - Change asterisk in model number to a "B" for 3/8" tubes or a "C" for 1/2 " tubes when specifying model number.

- For R-404A applications multiply required capacity ratings by 0.98 and for R-134a selections multiply required capacity by 1.05
then make selection from R-22 table using corrected capacity.
Shaded areas indicate that specific models will require 1/2" diameter tubing over the standard 3/8" diameter tubing at certain
operating TDs. At TDs not listed in the performance tables, conversion to 1/2" tube diameter tubing may be required for
optimal performance. Contact factory for non-standard conditions.
* - Change asterisk in model number to a "B" for 3/8" tubes or a "C" for 1/2 " tubes when specifying model number.

For the proper selection of an air cooled condenser it is necessary

to know the total heat rejection of the condenser. The Total Heat
of Rejection (THR) is equivalent to the sum of the Net
Refrigerating Effect (NRE) plus the heat of compression added by
the compressor. The amount of heat added to the refrigerant will
depend on the style of compressor, open or suction cooled, and
the operating conditions of the system.

Whenever the THR values are available from the compressor

manufacturer they should be used in selecting a condenser.

For those cases in which the THR data is unavailable it can be

quickly estimated using the following equation and the appropriate
factor from Tables 1 or 2.
Eq. (1) THR = Compressor Capacity x Heat Rejection Factor

In those cases where the refrigeration system is of a multiple or

cascade style, the following equations should be used to estimate
the total heat of rejection.

Open Compressor
Eq. (2) THR = Compressor Capacity + (2545 x BHP)
Suction Cooled Compressor
Eq. (3) THR = Compressor Capacity + (3413 x KW)

Altitude at which a condenser is to operate will also affect its

capacity. In order to correctly select a condenser at a specific
altitude, use the following equation and the appropriate correction
factor from Table 3.
Eq. (4) THR Corrected =THR Design x Altitude Correction Factor

Calculate:
1. Total Heat Rejection
2. Design temperature difference
3. Condenser size
4. Actual system TD
5. Actual condensing temperature

Solution:
1. Calculate the system THR from Table 2, a suction cooled
compressor, at 110F condensing temperature and 20F evaporator temperature, will have a heat rejection factor of 1.33.
THR = Compressor Capacity x Heat Rejection Factor
THR = 299,250 BTUH

THR Corrected Altitude = THR x Altitude Corr. Factor

THR Corrected Altitude = 336,656 BTUH

2. Design TD = Condensing Temp. - Ambient Temp.

Design TD = 10F

3. Select condenser size:

From page 5 locate double width ACE section of the page.
Then using the TD of 10F calculated in Step 2, go to the
appropriate column and select a condenser whose THR equals
or exceeds that of which we calculated in Step 1; 336,656
BTUH.
A model ACE075B-08A with a THR of 352,000 BTUH will meet
the required conditions.
4. Eq.(5) Actual TD =
Design TD x Design THR
Actual Condenser Capacity at Design TD
Actual TD = 9.6F
5. Eq.(6) Actual Condensing Temp. = Actual TD + Ambient Temp.
Actual Condensing Temp. = 109.6F

Description:

Russells Remote Air Cooled Condensers are designed to provide the optimum in heat transfer efficiency and are constructed for
years of reliable performance. The large air cooled condenser, now the accepted standard, is more than an assemblage of fans and
coil. It is a highly engineered element of the refrigeration system. The reliability of the system depends as much on the performance
of the condenser as on the performance of the compressor. Only the highest grades of commercially available Aluminum, Copper
and galvanized steel go into the manufacture of each air cooled condenser. To ensure trouble free installation and operation, every
unit must pass the high standards of our Quality Control Program at each stage of production.
