But one thing.. it have a VERY fast booting time. The temp drop instantly, so if that is importent, it might be an option. The mod is very chip an not complicated to do.:rolleyes:

Til mig snakker du bare dansk Tom ;) Men i respekt for de andre:

The problem is that it really is not cheap. 2000-2500 DK kr is allot of money just for a refill with r404a and an adjusted capillary tube. I will just have to see if I can find a person who will do it for less.

Bowman come to Denmark lol ;)

Any updates regarding your projects?

Hey Bowman, How did you build that triple evaporator? I see you ran three capillaries. How did you run all three? Is that all ran off the same compressor?

yep 3 cap tubes with 3 evaperators and one compressor.that is hard to do.but it does run but takes alot of work to get it to run right.cap tube lenght is very important on a system like this.
i have made a brand new return distribution manifold i hope to brase up tonight.with a build in accumulator to hold the liquid refirgerant longer and to help my subcooling more.effecientcy is the name of the game.squeeze all i can from the refrigerant.:D

i may post a pic of the manifold tonight

I am very curious to see how you hook the whole assembly up. I am interested in a setup like that.

Bowman, could you post a picture of the Mach II cooling head from the hose side, showing the screw holes relative to the hose. I'm seeing pictures of the Mach II head which seem to differ by 180 degrees.

well look at this pic from a earler post which shows the holes are below the hose on the new mach II

well this is my new manifold for my 3 block evap system(going on my cascade when i get to work on it...).but for the time being i well test it with my 1hp condensor assm.

well thanks...

by the way yours is running as we speak,,has gotten my room hot with 2 prommies in here running,right now it is 29c (84.2f) in here and it has caused yours to warm up to blistering -43c loaded ....oooooo baby not to bad for this hot room temp

You already have it running like a top :toast:

Bowman,

When you get a chance, can you post a picture on how you wired your 1hp compressor. I believe we have the same compressor.

thanks

And what about oil puddling when you test on that 1hp compressor? Will you use a oil separator?

Bowman, are you building a autocascade system or a classic cascade?

Have no need for a oil seperator on the 1hp unit,it is just a classic refriegeration setup.i do have a accumulator built into the new manifold but that one will use a cap tube to keep the oil feeding to the compressor(is that what you were refering to?)

the cascade i have does use a oil seperator.and it is a twin compressor cascade.

i have a few asking how does my manifiold work ?well this drawing should explain it.

as the excess refrigerant boils out of the evaperators into the hoses. it must fall down into a catch tube(accumulator sorta)this bottom part of the tube collects and let the excess boil off properly,but this can cause a problem with oil return.so i attach a piece of large capillary tubing so the oil can slowly drain back into the return hose going back to the compressor.
now this has a great purpose other than keeping excess refrigerant from the comprssor.it holds the liquid in the bottom of the tube which has the capillary tubes coiled around it.this will really cool the cap tubes giving me great subcooling.and making sure the extra refrigerant is being boiled off.

How do you run the three capillaries?

I must say...that is a really clever design whether or not it is your design, but applause to you if it is.

I do not know if that drawing is basic knowledge among cooling technicians, but if not I would not show it to the “public” so to speak. Companies can copy your excellent work with no trouble at all.

Then again…if it IS basic knowledge I glad you posted the picture, to clarify things ;)

i agree.. bowman could profit off his ideas easily..

Bowman could take over Chip-Con and put out a way better product.

nope i designed it from stratch....my own.but i am sure i am not the first to think of it..:D

if anyone has seen one before it would be Gary,what he thinks of it would prove interesting to me .

as far as i know i have the only twin or triple working evaperator system for a computer anywhere.
if anyone here has ever seen one let me know.

that means chip-con i will know where it came from if you start selling one.... lol but it wont be easy....:D
