I don't think you know what you were doing
?s:
compressor unit capacity at its actual operating pressures
heat load being added to coolant
system flow rate and pump heat added
all the various air and coolant temps
heat (cold) losses from no insulation, calculate it
efficiency of heat exchanger (this will be the result of your calcs)

so you add the heat load and line losses and pump heat, and see where the actual compressor capability (at operating temps and pressures -> NOT nameplate) is going to get you given the efficiency of your heat exchanger

it is apparent from your commentary that you have not even attempted to estimate these things
I think you wasted your time
