Compressor model, and Condensor advice

[MaRtIe]

Well fist off, i plan on using this small compressor wich was previously used with R12, i have 45Kg's of pure propane, wich i plan on using in it for my single stage.

but for the record, id like to know what the compressor specs are but its hard to tell with a bit of the label missing

Take a look

As you can see a little bit of the sticker is missing... that picture is old but the compressor is no different now.

And now for the condensor.

I have a choice between 400W and 3000W. id like to know what one of you guys would reccomend for my single stage, i am guessing i dont need a big one for this... but maybe one that has a bit of beef for future purposes? :)

obviously they are not free! :)

checked the compressor over more, found the following info on the power terminals for the compressor

AS14 - AM14
SH60 6129
200-240V 50HZ
2CU-004-28HL

From the run amps im thinking about 1/5-1/4IHP...

Good news on the propane :)

[MaRtIe]

oh well, it will do for my first build

Any ideas on the condensor wattage?

[SoddemFX]

Small ones :D

Johann hase good ones for £25 + £5 P+P, you might want to PM him...

Will do, was thinking about it actually but i thought i might be better getting some overkill condensor :P

[MaRtIe]

mmmm i can get one rated at 470W 185x185x30 for £19 at hotfrost... Hard choice

EDIT: also a 670W for the same price.. just a little bigger 215x214x30

Maybe i might get one of those then i wont need to buy a much bigger one for a real nice DD when i get onto the project after this

On the topic of hotfrost: I emailed then a few days ago and they never got back to me .. So they are either slow or just dont care about sales to people who aren't a massive business ? How are you ment to order from them anyway ? Just email them or something ?
Anyhow, if nobody from have actually ordered stuff from there yet, then do we know if they can be trusted ? .. Their site is .. Umm .. 'Unprofessional' to say the least.

If you don't need the small size, go for the bigger one. It'll work better.

I sent them an email too, come to think about it i didnt get one back aswell...

JB2Cool over at TP told me about them, they are local to him or something... ile ask him if he knows anything about them.

[MaRtIe]

Just Emails jb2cool at teampuss, he said hotfrost will sort ya out better over the phone, he goes to the actual shop to get his stuff and he said they are fine.

Just give them a call yngndrw

They wouldn't happen to be the LU-VE STVF range of condensors would they?

[MaRtIe]

As far as i can tell, it just says STFT

[SoddemFX]

That is a nice condensor. £19. Wow.

Tom

[aussie_guy00000]

They are almost identical to the STVF range, you can check them both out here http://www.luve.it/cataloghi/STN-STFT-STVF.pdf. I sell the STVF range here in australia, so if anyone over this side of the globe needs one, they come with 240v fan and shroud and are very efficent. I'm going to post a big build with one soon.

[MaRtIe]

They are very nice looking.. i will probably make my own shroud made of wood painted black :)
