I wish to use a single large compressor to service 3 cold plates and 3 air conditioning evaporators, but I am not a refrigeration expert, so if my thinking is incorrect please let me know. Each one of these (users) will have their own mechanical temperature controlled evaporator valve. I assume the compressor should be cycled by head pressure with an overtemp sensor for safety. I would like to use a salt water cooled condensor on the high pressure side and a freon gas that changes state around -40 C. Please advise. Do I need an accumulator of some description on either side? If so, what? Each one of the users have 3/8" in/out tubes. How do I size the compressor? Any tips or books on this subject would be welcome. Steve
