    Yes, at say.. 15 Celsius with R134a. The movement of heat isn't a 1:1 ratio, it is a function of the gas used and compressor efficiency. In general, the lower the compression ratio and the higher the massflow(higher suction pressure resulting) the greater the heat handling ability but at the expense of evap temps. This is also why autocascades are often much better options than single stage systems. Autocascades achieve low discharge pressures, high suction pressures, excellent compressor cooling and efficiency when applied in similar instances to single-stages. There's a lot more than a simple power-in/power-out system

    Idk. I just find it extremely hard to believe a 1/8hp compressor will hold 350W load. Especially considering that is straining the compressor a lot, so it is generating lots more heat and dumping that into the system also.....
    Yes movement of heat is never 1:1 there is always some heat lost which is an inefficiency that works against your argument.
    Unless maybe is 134a a super easy gas to compress? nm. I think i get what you are saying. You would need a big ass condenser for that no?
