Also what are rules concerning multiple units? Could I enter both co2 and open division?
Really I don`t know...but you should stay in one division, maybe next time you will enter open division ? but this is only my opinion, Runmc and Chilly1 should tell us they opinion.Quote:

Well I entered co2 due to a lack of gases, now I will have enough before september hopefully. I still want to attempt co2 though.
Starting my build this sunday :woot:
Going to pick up some ethane this weekend :D
Everyone's hitting up the ethane train? :( Damn there goes the advantage.
Yep :stick: :p:
It's because ethane has a low boiling point given the pressure which it condenses at, and has a decent latent heat of vaporization too.
Yup! :)

200psi and autocascading at -20c :toast:
thats cheating:slapass:
cant wait to see some cold temps their gkiing.
havnt seen you for a while:D
im in for the open Class autocascade competition.
ill use 1hp r410 rotory, probably r507/r410-r1150
all parts will be here next week so im expecting the project to end within a month since im getting obsessed when competing :D
if the project turns to good temps it will be the first stage of my new 2stage cascade!
nice.Quote:

Congrats ! :toast:Quote:

i have the impression we need to set some standards for out heat load testers.
like what resistors to use, same dimensions copper plate and same temprature measuring place
I find heatcartridge to be most efficient while others abide by resistor. And evap temp reading and inside load tester temp reading should be taken at same time really to see how well both side of story stacks up. (evap temp can be anywhere if we have set load tester temp measuring point really as we want cooler CPU even more than cooler evap :)
I am not really sure how this will unfold now with cryo-tek in there but hey not stopping :p
I personally don't see the point for the oil seps to be homemade, since those who will choose to buy a comercial oil sep will have no performance advantage in their autocascade!. how about we change this rule?
keep in mind that an oil sep will also act like a phase-sep
He hasn't yet officially thrown his hat in the ring, so no worries......for now ;)Quote:

Ok, we have 26 members...but ONLY 10 members gave me their ice bath shots ;]
I'm waiting on my thermometer, dt200 is being sent back, then buying echow's.
Okey, so other people please post your ice bath shots (if you can :D).
