I figure the propane in the propane torch is probably more pure than the grill propane and may work better
OK, So if i bring it to canadian tire they should be able to do it coze they have gauge sets, propane, and they could solder it.
But is it secure to put some R290 in a 134a compressor? And is the capilary tubes important?
If they have the tools than they should probably beable to do it
and u shouldn't have any problems with R290 in the compressor
and the cap tube is very important and if gary was here he would say its the most important:D
i use 4ft of .036 but thats for R22 it might work for u but for a more close to perfect size u might want to ask gary
How do you guys vacuum your systems?
gog, oh god, oh god!!!! Ive just cutted right in the middle of my cap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(. Do you know a local shop that i can get that? And can someone say me what the caps are doing in the life?
And water_cooler20: THX alot for the help man, that was something that greatfully helped me:). Now i know that my compressor can be revived and i will be able to run 24/7 some chilled water:D. My thanks.
u could get a cap tube form www.rparts.com
also to vaccum a system u hook up a vaccum pump up to your gauges and gauges to your system than turn on the pump and then open up the high and low side
You can also use compressors, but im not sure. There is a link in the Vapour Chilling section about it all.
Here's my chiller!!!!

hey, Ive just notice something: Its not dangerous usea torch side to a buble of propane????
jll,
It seems you have a lill' insulation problem, considering pic 10b... The armaflex used does not seem to provide sufficient insulation to battle condensation forming on it's outside. Nice temps you got there though! Nice 'n ghetto lookin setup too ;)
I agree. That insulation looks very thin. In commercial low temp systems, we use 3/4" wall thickness on all of the pipe insulation. I wouldn't go less than 1/2".
Here is my aircon
where can I find that for very very very cheap?????
ebay probably has some cheap ones
I cant shop on those web shops, only on retailers.....
I just picked up a huge ass 1m high ac unit from FaTs for free, will play around with it tommorow :)
Wondering what pumps youre using.Quote:
