Rack Refrigeration Cycle Part 7 – Subcooler and Liquid Pressure Regulator

In this crucial installment of our Rack Refrigeration Cycle series, Matthew Taylor breaks down the importance and functionality of subcoolers in commercial refrigeration systems. Learn why mechanical subcooling is crucial for system efficiency and how it can dramatically reduce power consumption - showing how the same cooling load can be achieved with 4.5 HP instead of 15 HP!

Key topics covered:

  • How subcoolers improve system efficiency and reduce energy costs
  • Understanding plate heat exchangers and counterflow design
  • Proper setup and adjustment of subcooler TXVs
  • Common troubleshooting challenges and solutions
  • Modern electronic valve control systems vs. mechanical setups
  • Best practices for technicians working with subcooled systems
