New 30000btu cascade.R410-R1150 (56k warning)

Today i started a new cascade for a friend from outofspecs.gr :) Nikos wants something powerfull for his quad. So i choose almost the same parts as the previous cascade. The only differences are the compressor/gas for first stage and a bit smaller condeser. I just finished the first stage and probably by the end of this week i will have the first results.

Of course dual capillary.

Stay tunned :)

How is the noise level of this monster?

like a pulsejet engine :D

Very nice monster, however wont you want to have the first stage feed the bottom of the plate hx.
Do you feel you need such large compressors by the way? Also, is that a 10 plate heat exchanger? (Just wondering)

wow, what you plan to cool with that

No but the money difference between a 9000btu and a 18000btu is really small...
Also with 18000btu in first stage i am not pushing the system to the limits.

Ah, so you have a source that has little cost difference. Gotcha.
I wish we had 220v here in the USA that was easy to get to!

I thought the condenser was huge. Then I saw the compressors.

Should be a monster... will stay tuned. :)

Hows pressures with r410a?

13.5-14bar high without the second stage. Looks ok to me.

Sounds good, low side? ;)

In vacum but not yet sure cause the gauses wasnt calibrated.

:cheers:
Well cheers to what looks like an awesome unit, can't wait to see the end result!

Looks like it Will be an awesome unit mate, what length and size are the cap tubes on the first stage ?

1,8m length x2 (you can start from 2,2m)
0,78 diameter.

The cap tubes must be exactly exactly exactly the same! and must placed exactly at the same place both.

Yes they need to be, but they dont have to be. Since your using both to the same evaporator you wont have much of a difference if theres a difference in between the captubes.

great looking unit as always unseen

i enjoy looking at your work

Thanks me too :)

Ps. I haven't forgot your evap. I am waiting 15pieces these days.

Really nice work Unseen, another monster from you. :up:

regards

Looking great :) Something I dare not venture in typically due to power drain... you lucky 220 volters :)
R410a compressors typically are around that size to begin with NoL. As for feeding hx from top, there is reason to that from what I see especially considering gas utilized. I wonder how 2nd stage would like it though not having cross flow myself though :) Get back to us with some results Unseen:)

Yeah I was thinking cross-flow.

Thanks for the info mate, look forward to seeing how well the 410a does, it should be a great first stage refrigerant and be able to hold the load of the second stage easy with the added bit of extra cooling.

what kind of hose are you using for the gauge mounted on first stage after the condenser? I've never seen such hoses.

is it regular stainless or is it something else?

I was wondering the same thing, it looks like the high-pressure air lines used on paintball markers :shrug: Good looking build though, nice frosty shots.

Isn't that just painted copper tubing to match condenser paint? --Squinting--
