What chiller size?
Hey guys,
im planning a 90x60x36cm (LxBxH) tank which is a 170L and a 30L sump (3/4 filled) so total is around 180-190L..
which chiller size should i go for? 1/10 hp seems to fit in well. But lets say for example, if i were to get a Resun CL-650, which is rated for much higher volume.. when it runs at 650W, it should take much lesser time to cool down my tank, in comparison to a CL-280 (280W), it will take a longer time to chill the tank. End of the day, i would like to know which chiller
You already define the activate time, meaning you have define the working efficiency factor. base on your input.
teco 1/4hp is 8hrs per day (working hours)
hailea 1hp is ~3hrs per day (working hours)
For Chiller Horse Power, the convention shld be the same. 1HP is 4 time powerful than 1/4HP, in other words ~4 time more power consumption with the same working time. For your case the working hour only improve slightly more than double per days. The ratio doesn't match for the saving of SG
