Hello guys,
I am trying to redesign the Power supply system of a 4hp, 230VAC, (actually 3hp compressor +1hp circulating pump) single phase Refrigeration system to use off grid solar power supply, without the need for expensive true sine wave inverters.
Expected gains are to avoid the expensive start up currents of the present system by using DC a compressor and DC pump to be driven directly off solar panels and (trojan batteries at night) and hopefully use a lesser power requirement than the AC arrangement would have required. The chiller is currently run on a 10KVA deisel generator.
I would need your thoughts, expertise and opinions on how to make this design as simple as possible.
Kind regards
