A close up of the bottom lines
man it was soo hard to cut them free!
The top line...also a PITA to get free...but i had a plan and stuck to it!
I will go take pics of my current mess downstairs...lol
Look at all that ice!
more ice
The whole setup..yea i still have alot of stuff to do with setting up the condensor and compressor in a final spot on wood...this was just a setup to get the evap in ice quick to test
Here is my pump under the coolant...mixing it all up
That is the pictures i have for now..if any one would like a more specific pis let me know....wow..im impressed
OMG! It morphed!
Conflict, you said you ran this thing all last winter...where you at? Down Under?
HAHA..i wish it had morphed...then i wouldn;t have had to spend the time and break such a sweat getting it situatedQuote:

I'm thinking the orientation of that evap needs to be as close to the original as posible as i do believe gravity aids in this process.
All last summer...lol..i wish i was down underQuote:

Geek Goddess this fine lad works his @ss of on this project and you poke him with a stick.
yup, something like this, vapor into the top of the condenser, liquid out the bottom. Liquid into the bottom of the evaporator, vapor out the top. http://oberon.ark.com/~airekool/rb2.htmQuote:

well..currently i have absolutely no way to get the evap upright....the lines i have to work with are nowhere near long enough to situate it upright...if i decide to make this a major build i may go ahead and lengthen everything so that it is a really "pretty" setup and everything is situated correctly...for now...im learning and having fun!
Conflict, the advice I was giving you had nothing to do with aesthetics it's a matter of functionality. I wasn't saying it had to be perfectly upright, just more so would be a lot better. just raise the top so that its higher than the bottom, as much as you can. Maybe we can get Gary to comment on this.I'm no expert ,hardly a novice..
Jamal, sorry to say but this is the absolute best i think i can do...any more upright is gonna result in more fluid being added...which is gonna result in less flow and more ice....lol..its a lose lose situation i think...but....i am happy to say i think i am satisfied with this setupQuote:
