Searching through cryo-tek's posts...

I'm looking for the capillary lengths/sizes for some of his work, it was for the "2 stage" with two phase seps. Anyone know them?

A member called cyrotek helped me with Linux a while back. I was wondering if it was the same cyrotek from here. I guess you could register and pm him.

This info was probably no help.

From what i read, cryotek is a noob with computers :D so i dont think its him.

The cryo-tek NoL means is the one that was once active on these forums. He built a -150°c autocascade for Steven many years ago which he still has and uses to this day.

I don't know if he knows much about computers, but I think he's from somewhere near San Fransisco in California.

I think mytekcontrols is a good Friend of cryo-tek's , might be worth PMing him to see if you can find out where he hangs out these days and then ask the question.

Can't PM Mytek though, he hasnt enabled the feature.

Thanks blaster! :)

Here is a post made by Cryo-Tek on a 3 stage w/subcooler system based on 1 HP Tecumseh compressor (this was the Polycold P-100 that Steven picked up):

I'll try to dig up the CFM on the compressor and post it later.

Basically this could work as a template for calculating the captubes for a 2 stage system once you know what the displacement is. As for the subcooler aspect, if you chose to leave it out, just add the subcooler and final captube flows together to arrive at your new final captube size (the subcooler captube is normally sized to be approximately 1/3 as much flow as the final).

n00b I got your email (thanks).The reason I don't have my PM enabled on this forum is that quite frankly I don't have a lot of spare time, and I feel it is better to answer questions in the forum so more people will benefit.

Yes Cryo-Tek and I are good friends, although we are both so busy that it sometimes takes a year or more before we see each other eye-to-eye. However we do stay in touch via emails, and do so on a bit more regular basis.

We are both based in Northern California, with him about 30 minutes south of where I am. We met each other while working for Polycold Systems in the late 70's.

Wow thats quick, thanks though Mytek I understand completely.
I was wondering though if you could explain how to calculate the flows and such. I Know cryo posted the chart on flow factors and such, but I honestly don't think many people here (including myself) know a damn thing about that aspect; and I think that would really help.
Personally right now I'm trying to get r23 and r1150, most likely r23 first if at all possible, so I'm going to do a r11,r22,r23 setup to start. I'd like to be able to learn how to figure out my own cap tube lengths instead of asking.

Thanks again, your helps much appreciated.
