X³, my new cascade, three stages, and two evaps !

thanks :)

Congrats on the -100 club! pretty nice looking cascade! nice work m8

thanks bro :)

Could a moderator add me to the -100C club, I've paid my fee :D

You defenitly did ;)

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Congrats :clap: Wonder what temps you will get with a good working 1st and 2nd stage :D

Hehe good job, mine friend, specially like on that broken CPEV :p: :p:

Peter

thanks guys :toast:

I have all those modifications to do :
- replacing my TEV's orifice by a larger one (01)
- replacing the dead PEV by a working PZR
- insulating better (32 -> 51mm armaflex)
- replacing the ethylene in the third stage by a methane/ethylene mix

with all those improvements, I hope I'll reach -120C, and -100 loaded, but we will see when it's done :)

Insane! Grats on reaching -100° C :)

omg lucky arse getting exactly 100 -c. :woot:

thx :wave:

I reapeat, this is a very lucky shot : I never got more than -100.0C with it :D

Now, I'm trying to solve the second stage issue, by replacing the dead CPEV by a cap tube (new CPEV will not be here before at least ten days...), but I don't know how to define the right lenght for a second stage :(

I planned to use a 0.031" (0.8mm) cap tube, and was thining of 150cm (59"), as I use a SC21G (7/8HP), and I want the R1150 to evaporate around 2bar (between 1 and 3...), do you think that's correct ?

That would be the best length you can have with 0.031 cap. Might be better if you had something larger than that actually but it will work with 0.031 too.

thanks for the advice hatemi :)

if the cap tube is not perfectly sized, i don't care a lot, I will use it until I receive my new CPEV, and that's all, so I was just seeking for an estimation :)

I'll go buying some flare fitting to braze it on, and replace my dead PEV without modifying the cascade's connections...

I also plan to install an expansion tank on each stage, as my static pressures is really high (18bar on the third stage / 17 on the second), so I'll use many cap tubes today :D

next thing I think i'll do is replacing the TEV's orifice by a 01, I currently use a 00, but the flow doesn't seem high enough, and I want this cascade to hold a high load...

I would add you, but mods can't do that. Send a PM to Kazoo..

Isn't the -100c club for people that have reached -100c using only co2 as a second stage gas? like i mean its ez to get -100c with 1150 im just wondering what it applys to.

i think its for cascades.....


very nice neat work my friend....gratz on great work and -100c

thanks :)

my trial-and-error way to use a cap tube instead the second stage's cpev is really bothering me, I'll stop, and wait for the replacement part :D

I hope to have the new part in maybe ~10 days, so I'll finish anything else (electricity / insulation / holdings), and try to find some methane...

so in two weeks, I wish i'll be able to send a new screenshot, let's say, around -120c :D

Hope u make it to -120*C.

I hope so, as I can't find R14 in this ******* country, I'll do with some ethylene/methane mix, I hope it will be enough to reach -120 at least, but I reapeat, my goal is -100C loaded, unloaded temps are only to good to show to friend how mad you are :D

-100 is -100,Like I mean, you were awarded that title using a probe that is rated to only -60c after that no telling how inaccurate it is. You also never showed your meter zeroed in a ice bath.I was just wondering that.So dont be so critical of others.

Lighten up dude, i just asked what the requirments for the -100c club were no need to spaz out.

I didn't need to test it in an icebath i read on another thread that the exact same thermometer and probe were tried in an ice bath in it was within 0.01 degrees.

I have tested my probes+gauge in an extreme way. I sprayed liquid co2 to it and it showed -77.8c. I put it in LN2 and it was too cold. So I know it is acurate enough at least to ~-80c.

oh guys, don't fight on my topic, we're not competing for the lowest temp, aren't we ? Nobody will give cookie a to the one who shows a -350C screenshot :D

Kazoo added me to the club :toast:

I have to test my cpu under a single stage, it does 5Ghz on aircooling, I guess it will be quite funny with the cascade :D

set a new world record!

I dunno, maybe, is there anyone who knows if 5005Mhz aircooled is a WR ? :D
