Lately I got an order from one of the biggest hardware sites in germany, they want a 2 stage cascade. I put the cascade together in the last 3 days on the afternoon. I worked hard to get it ready today, charging will be done after my vacation, which starts tomorrow...
The parts I used:
1.stage:
Danfoss SC21CLX
Luve 139 condensor (1,39kw)
0,88l Receiver
Castel Sighglass
Castel Filter
Danfoss TS2 with 00 oriface
plate HX
R507
2.stage:
Danfoss SC21CLX
small desuperheater
Danfoss OUB1 oilseparator
Danfoss high pressure switch
Refco relief valve
HD gauge
R1150
Here the case for the cascade. Littledevil made it on my request, I really like it!

Thx for all the nice words! I'm back from my vacation now, trying to get the cascade finished in the next days.
The cascade will be used for events like Cebit, so I don't think noise is a real problem. But maybe sound dampening will cut down the noise a litte bit.
Jack, you know I'm Danfoss addicted :P But maybe rotaries for the next cascade.
Weight should be aroung 50kg

The cascade is almost ready, only some wires have to be taken, some insulation is missing... Load testing will be done tomorrow. I hope it gets a bit cooler tomorrow, I had more than 38°C in the garage today.

Hey there bro - Very nice looking piece of equipment you got there.... It's funny.... Few days ago your customer was chatting to me. I assume that this is the unit that is going to the Games Convention in Germany/Leipzig?
Are you gonna be there? If so - Let's meet :)

07-23-2006, 02:26 AM
Yes I heard that the want to use the cascade on Games convention. I'm not there.
But maybe I will come to the next Cebit in March with some serious cascades :D

Here with Ethylene:
thats a very nice cascade there cold_ice.
What size suction line did you use it look about right.:toast:
If i remember correctly he used (and is using) DN12 suction line at all his cascades...

That is really a piece of art:toast:
Do you have a pic of the back of the case ? Also, how hot is inside the case ?
Can you measure for us ?
congrats.
cold_ice
08-01-2006, 11:54 AM
Thx!
I used suction line with 8mm inside diameter (DN08) with braid.
The temperature in the case depends on the ambient temperature and where you measure the temperature. Its hotter right above the compressor than near the plate HX for example.
