Short answer is YES, but there are other considerations. Usually the tubing wrapped around the compressor is cooled by the gas adn does add load to the system.Quote:

Thx
they are;)
Can i use 1/2" outter and 1/4" inner for the cascade HX? How long should it be?
you can, but you might use 5/8(outer) and 2X 3/16(inner).
more mass and surface, between 3-4meter it's fine
Does 2,90m of 0.031(0,8mm) Cap looks fair enough for R404a @ 1st Stage?
What about 2nd Stage, how long should it be?
Hm, I`m prefering ~ 2,3-2,4m of 0,8mm cap tube for 1 stage, and ~ 2,6 for 2 stage.
that cap configuration looks like for lots of capacity!?Quote:

What gas do you wanna use for II stage, r1150 or co2 ?
i was thinking 1st, for tests CO2, them with more experience R1150
If I have to use diferent compressors, what stage should i use the most powerfull?
i think second..Quote:

Nice thinking LukeXE ;)
What about CO2 static and running highside pressures? CO2 is most less dangerous then R1150, rigtht?
If you use expansion tank (you should of course), then I think that static pressure won`t be higher than 10bar, highside pressure is limited to amount of gas in the system, so nobody probably won`t know answer for that question, but try to keep it under 15 bar.
CO2 is less dangerous than r1150, that`s right. For example, bottle with CO2 usually has CO2 at 40bar pressure, however R1150 is under ~80bar pressure :D
BTW, remember to use cut-off switch and high pressure relief valve for safety
I know expansion tank let us have more refrigerant in the system with less pressures, but if i don´t use one for now, at the beginning, should should the static pressures the same?Quote:

as you will know reggie has been going through a tough time recently. I suggest you do NOT use his designs outside the forum, as they ARE copyrighted, and his interlectual property. You may want to PM fugger about them, as they are also copyrighted to XS, and fugger is in direct contact with reggie.
The actual drawings, i.e. graphics are copyright, however the detail is standard cascade design. So you will need to use your own graphic objects.

K guys, thanks for the quick response. Time to look over a few various designs and whip out some MS Paint skills.
nice drawings:)
Oh, and if you label everything and not include cutoffs in the drawing someone will use them as a guide and not include them and it might explode
[ wow, starting to point out Wdrzal usually would]
and can i show my mad paint skills [i already modified a auto drawing but left the copywrights on and havent shown anyone {yet} and will delete the drawings if i can't use them.]
Heh, the drawings on my website are just for comparisons sake. If someone can get a system to work following those drawings then I'd be amazed. Those are there for just comparisons sake.
hey chilly could you please label this one for me would help alot
chilly is not around... Sorry mate. look at his last post...:shakes:Quote:

There ya go, I'd drop the economizer on both stages, and the "receiver" post HX on the second stage.
