Hi
If its a standard 4′ chiller then 1/5th r134a is the one needed but if you want to fit a 1/6th r600a will do.

It refers to the power of the compressor similar to the size in CC of a car engine, I think.
No doubt R600 whose the expert will confirm shortly.

Hi
Compressors come in standard and common sizes. 1/8th 1/6th 1/5th 1/4hp 1/3hp dependent on the size of the unit but it’s normally 1/8 small standard fridge 1/6th for large larder fridge upto 5′ app 1/5 for 1/2 / 1/2 6′ fridge freezer 1/4 large chest freezer 6′ approx these are for r600a compressors and you would go up one size for r134a approx 1/3 r134a is American side by sides 1/4 r600a will do a side by side American also.

To convert from 134 to 600 what else besides the compressor needs to be changed?

Hi Steve
The drier.
Then you have the amount of refrigerant. Easy for me as I work off the pressures. Each system will hold a different amount. I do have a chart somewhere which I will try to find but r600a runs at -.450bar in vacuum.

Re: Compressor choice
To work on 134a you should now be f gas registered.
Also remember r600a is flammable.
