Looks like a flexible rubber coated line that happens to match in color
Flexible, (comma) rubber coated line. Didnt mean a rubber line by itself. Like maybe a stainless braided line, (comma) that is rubber coated to match in color.
Where can I find panel mount pressure gauges like yours?
McMaster in US carries them. You could go ask in refrigeration store, or search e-bay as well. There are some surplus stores as well which I haven't had much luck getting decent quality ones...
Yes way on that account Tony :)
The pipe to the gause is a teflon pipe especialy made for refrigeration. The code name is "Reflex" and the connects is pressurised with a special tool.I made them.It is very easy. It can hold 45bar pressure. Bitzer is the company that uses them. I can find 3/8 pipe too which is also very flexible for using them as flex hose from the evap.
@sweeper In any refrigeration shop,else tell me to send you some.
Unseen, I think everyone here loves to look at your photos, and then guess what the items are. Its no fun when you come in here later and tell us we were all wrong. You keep score on who guessed the most parts right. Though I think Jin or Ron would win that anyway.....
New toys :D

I'll take the card, you can keep the evap :up:

Here is the evap with the flex hose-cap ready(below are some nice compressors ready for cascade :P )
Also notice the extra protection to the joins.

Witout insulation to hx and evap i reached almost ~-80 which i think is ok. r410 on both stages.

looks very nice!
just one question, you said the evap was soldered, I thought solder couldn't retain the pressures?
maybe it is like here in austria where solder and braze is the same word (löten), litterally it is: "solder" and "hard solder" (which is braze)... maybe a translation mistake
edit: too late, sry.
Hahaha seems we know were your getting those beautiful oil seps from now ;)
Amazing work as always Christos :up:
germany/austria isn't alone, same word in swedish as well.
btw, very nice unit as always, as well as the semihermetic compressors :)
Well it is almost finished...
Some insulation need and it is ready for tunning and benching :D
To the second stage i used 3,40m of 0.91 capilary for better temps at high loads.

Waiting for the enclosure now....
What did you do with the compressors which are sitting on the floor?
vacuum pump :D (of course not :D ) ?
Btw. in a chiller i've been build, i tried to evaporate from top -> down but at load, that didn't work. I would really suggest to change that.
