The pressure drop across the evaporator and condenser is assumed to be 4.35 psi
(0.3 bar) each, and 23 psi (1.6 bar) upstream of the evaporator.
The capacities specified are based on superheating by 6K and sub-cooling by 2K.
The refrigeration capacity for various refrigerants and operating conditions can be
calculated for the 3 types of applications using Table 4 through Table 9.
For accurate valve sizing, Siemens Industry, Inc. recommends the valve selection
program Refrigeration VASP.
