hi can anyone tell me what horse power a compressor is please as the wholesaler has one but does not know the rating,
Danfoss NLX8. KK2
R600
cheersRe: danfoss compressor
Shouldnt you only be concerned with the wattage for R600a compressors?, when doing a comparrison.

its a mate of mine who is a wholesaler and hes found this compressor and cant remember where it came from!
Re: danfoss compressor
wattage or horsepower really. 1hp = 750 (ish) watts.
i normally look at the unit that needs a compressor and decide what horsepower compressor to use, based on the size of the evaporator(s) etc.
course, this is different, he just needs to know the size of the pot. ian has it i think.

I use to do the above when it was R12

I think you need to be a bit more accurate with R600a

Hi
When using r600a compressors due to them being more efficient and a higher displacement then you can go down one size. what was r134a 1/5 can have a 1/6 on the unit. compressors are not generally measured on there wattage by engineers but by either 1/4. 1/5. 1/6. 1/8. 1/10. Which are what the manufacturers also quote.

Re: danfoss compressor
Yes this is true, but if you want to be sure and you are replacing a R600a pot use one with as near the same wattage, if you dont and use a compressor that is too powerful them it can cause the unit to not correctly cool down and not meet with the manufacturers energy ratings and design.

so on an american fridge freezer i can fit a 1/4 horsepowerr r600?chris
Re: danfoss compressor
Hi Chris
Yes the 1/4 r600a runs quite happily on a samsung RS21 and RSH1 and Dr dill this change was agreed and confirmed by Samsung when they had ran out of compressors.

The compressors listed are industry standard and if you wish to argue the minimal extra cost of running a 450w to a 475w then go for it..Thus Every engineer in the world would then change the manufacturers specifications on appliances they work on as fitting a non genuine part then changes specifications.And no engineer can state that they have fitted genuine part number to part number to each and every repair ..I take it that if you have a genuine hotpoint straight fitting water valve on your van but the manufacturers have listed the identical part as a different part number in there spares listing then i’m sure that you will order the other part and go back and fit it.
This is the real world and not cloud cuckoo land.

And you i take it are always right, i must be doing it wrong since my training 32 years ago, i will just stick to my way of doing it as that has always worked fir me.

I believe I had this conversation with you sometime ago about who was or was not right Nigel – everyone on this forum has an equal right to their opinion which may not agree with yours.

No I may not be always right but I do know refrigeration which I can only assume that you do not.
After changing several thousand compressors on all makes and models then I normally only reply to questions that I know the answer to.. I dont work on hotpoint washers or indesit washers so i keep myself to myself so i dont make myself look a pratt.
