What is the suction header temperature for a medium temperature room coil?

The suction header temperature for a medium temperature room coil is typically around 33°F. This temperature is optimal for ensuring efficient refrigeration in applications like food storage or processing areas that operate at medium temperatures.

At this temperature, the refrigerant maintains a balance that allows for effective heat absorption from the medium temperature space without the risk of freezing the moisture present in the air. This is critical in preventing frost build-up on evaporator coils, which can lead to reduced efficiency and increased energy consumption.

Choosing 33°F aligns with common industry practices for medium temperature refrigeration systems, reflecting the operational requirements for effective thermal exchange and system reliability.
