I have a chiller with a cooling capacity of 23 kw and a pump head of 25 m. my system volume is about 60 gallons. The highest point of my system Is 102in . The set point will be around 27 degrees F, High temp ambient inside air = 90 F . 35% propylene glycol , 65% water. two cooling jackets have a max rating of 15 psi.
I need help determining if my system can run under these conditions and if so, what size expansion tank would i need ( thinking 3 gal) .
I am also worried about cavitation of the glycol if my system pressure has to be below 15 psig. I tried finding phase diagrams of propylene water mixes at various pressures but didn't have any luck. any other ideas on how i could determine this ?
attached is a diagram of my system.
Thanks for your time !
