I have a rotary compressor that is rated at 715watts (about 1hp?), with a about 2300watts/8000btu (if i remember correctly) no idea on the cc capacity, charged with r410a. i have been using it as a chiller.

I would love to use 3 headed system (Cpu + Sli). What i would like to know is how the concept of multiple line from the same compressor works. Do the same concepts as a single capillary tube + suction line apply, but x3?

Can each of the circuits be tuned for a different heat load/capacity?

what kinda temps+loads would be reachable using the above compressor on each of the circuits.

can a single filter/drier and suction line accumlator be used, or is one on each circuit required?

also anything i can replace r410a with to get a performance boost that doesn't require an oil change?

thanks for your help :)

Lets see, you can definitly use that system provided the rest of components are up to it. I'd swap down to r507a though. Three heads means three capillarys in most cases, each sized right, and can have different loads at each without a problem. I would use an extra large filter drier though, and a suction accumulator for sure. The three suctions after flexible lines will need to link back up.

Plenty of multi head systems have been built here.
Use the search function:stick: and I bet you find a few. That's what it's there for.
