Will This Tecumseh Work For 200 watt Load? or Danfoss, Embraco ect...

[Exahertz]

Im not sure if my tecumseh compressor is capable of a 200 watt load using R22. im trying to OC a AMD 64 FX-53 cpu. this is the compressor specs (http://www.tecumsehcoolproducts.com/inside/tr_comp_display.php?Model=AEB1380AXA&bom=AE150CR-774-J7). im ready to start building and need to know if i should just buy a better compressor thanks for any help!

I would have to say no it wont hold a 200w load worth beans. Something like this http://www4.mailordercentral.com/bflsupply/prodinfo.asp?number=11-FFI12HBX might do you better.

oh ok, sux... :( i am now pondering if i should hold on to it maybe for cascade? if its to small for cascade ill give it away or trash it.

With R22 what kind of load to temp balance could i expect with that 1/3 hp high torque Embraco compressor (http://www4.mailordercentral.com/bflsupply/prodinfo.asp?number=11-FFI12HBX) or a DANFOSS NF11FX R134A compressor (http://www.under-the-ice.com/product_info.php?products_id=88)?

That compressor should work fine.

It's a low start torque so a longer restart delay should be observed, at least a couple of minutes.

It's rated at 1/5HP, and with R12 it'll do over 200w at -30 according to spec.

I'd say with the right evap and R22 you'd see around that or slightly better.

When it comes down to it, almost any compressor can be tuned to hold any load. The compressor doesn't dictate capacity, it only tells you what temp you can get at a given capacity. The rest of the system is what makes the capacity happen.

So if you'd be happy seeing around -25 to -30 at 200 watts, and on a FX-53 you'd be more likely to have 150 or so watts, then it should be fine.

The danfoss and embraco compressors are larger, and will give better temps, but there's nothing really wrong with that tecumseh either.

Oh ok, my bad :slap: Its just that i couldnt get a 1/5hp comp to hold a 230w load for me without it going to positive temps. It could have been the gas i was using to.

Also de tecumseh 1380 is a silent compressor, a friend of mine built a unit with the same compressor, small, lower electricity bill, and silent, what more do you want :)

i like the fact that everyone says it will work, but work as in... -20C?, ill never get down to -45C with it right?

1. Using R22, that's a good but not so cold gas (comparing to 404, 507 and 402a) you might struggle to get a system that cold, but not too noisy.

2. That compressor will likely give you -50 'no load' and about -35 to -40 at best with around 150w.

If you use a larger compressor you might get a bit better, but only a larger rotary will be able to keep the vacuum going enough to pull you down to -45 load with R22.

Even a NL11 and R22 will be a question mark to get -45 load with.

If you're stuck on getting that kind of cold, then one of the larger compressors listed, yes, would be a good plan.

I would also look at investing in a better gas, like 507 or 402a, to get the kind of load temps you want.

How you tune, what gas you use, and the compressor in the system, all play a part in dictating the final temps you'll get, so keep all of that in mind when planning the system.
