A refrigeration compressor used in a multi-box refrigeration system, is designed with six of its eight cylinders able to be controlled for variable load conditions. If all of the reefer boxes are currently feeding, what percentage of the total number of compressor cylinders will be loaded after start up?

Question

Accepted Answer

Option B: 100%. With all reefer boxes feeding and maximum thermal load present, the capacity control system keeps all cylinders active, resulting in 100% of the total compressor cylinders operating to meet the cooling demand.
