Hey guys
Considering system 3 starmex 5 ticks, from coolserve:
3x MSXY-FJ10VE
1x MXY-3G28VA
I was talking to a gain city salesperson, and he recommended me the 2 tick model, saying that the 5 tick compressor is underpowered at 20k btu (should be minimum 27k)
I was also looking at the brochure here. It says that the power is 6 (2.9-8.9) KW, which is technically 20,400 (9860-30,260) BTU.
That's kinda confusing. I guess the gain city guy was using the 6kw rating to make the recommendation, while the coolserv website is using the max number in the bracket to say that the compressor has a 30k btw capacity.
How are power ratings published for other brands/models? Why are there different numbers and which one should we use?
Personally, I'm looking at 5 tick because we use the aircon a lot. 1 unit will be on almost 24 hours, the other about 12 hours, and the 3rd on about 8 hours.
Obviously, the 5 tick rating will be pointless if I get 3x 9k btu blower but the capacity of the compressor is only ard 20k.
I've also been told that there's a noise issue. experiences anyone? If this compressor is truly underpowered, is the noise the result of it overworking?
I'm open to recommendations, except daikin because in my experience they're noisy and shitty lol.
Also I'm assuming it would be good to upgrade the pipe and insulation. Recommendations for merchants also welcome. Was checking out coolserv since they seem to be highly recommended by the folks at renotalk. All best seemed to have screwed up the piping for our current toshiba set.
