That is sooo neat and tidy well done sir.
that has to have a clear side panel to show of the innards of your beast.

Very good mashine :slobber:
That is some nice piping there.
This is going to look very nice.
I cant wait to see that cycle chart.
Congrats Man ! Very nice build !
unbelievable!!!

I'm back from Canada
I finally got all the lines going in to the heat ex soldered up.

I used the pipe cutters to hold back the insulations during the soldering. You can see them in the picture above.

I bent the lines for the filter/dryers and put the SRE's in. I'm using Sporlan 1/8 ton SRE's in of the TXV's.

There big for a 1/8 ton SRE's

My 1/4" insulation comes tomorrow at 9:00am so I should get allot done tomorrow. I can't wait to start it up.
Canada was great. 8 of use went up there and stayed for 7 days. We didn't catch a whole lot of Walleyes only 12, but allot of Northerns and Smallmouth bass. One day we had over 40 Northerns any where from 12" to 29". Most were 20-25"
Nice piping layout !!!!!
ps: your Brazing.
man can you take a big picture of the whole thing so far? that awesome nice work once again.
Wow .... silence ....
words not found :)
D
Keep it coming :D

this is not some typical joe schmuck's run off the garage project....this is some serious engineering!!! keep up the good work and be proud of your creation ;)
5th Update 8-23-05 :D
I bent the suction line for the 402a high side. You really can't see it but there is a manifold in the line where I will run the second suction line into it. But look at the other pictures and you will see what I'm talking about. I have two suction lines one from each HX that I have to merge into one line so I used a 3/8" manifold.

The two lines coming out of my SRE valves.
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~nknau...ct%20(136).jpg
The equaling lines coming out of the SRE valves. I've seen people braze the lines in with out taking them apart, and have I've heard about people distorting them that way also. So I thought it would be best to take them apart.

http://www.public.iastate.edu/~nknau...ct%20(138).jpg
You can see I braze one end of the lines and then push the insulation up on the line and use a pipe cutter to hold it up and out of my way. You only put enough force on the pipe cutter to keep it from sliding down the pipe. So it will only leave a slight mark in the pipe. No damage to it.
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~nknau...ct%20(139).jpg
Look at how much fun these braze are.
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~nknau...ct%20(140).jpg
I put the SRE Valves back together and have all the insulation on the lines I did today.

http://www.public.iastate.edu/~nknau...ct%20(142).jpg
You can see how tight it's getting. Running out of room, Thank God I'm close to done.

teh drool
Awsome work! :toast:
Having it insulated is nice unless you have a leak somewhere. Awesome job your doing. I can't wait to see some frost. ;)
I LOVE geeting the email that there is new post :D
I dont have anything wise to say, only that im still overcomming the first chok :D
Wow, this project is getting better and better. When r u going to fire it up?
Can you get a picture of the entire thing so far? Its insanelymassive I'm geussing. And does it have wheels? And what will you be doing with this beast when your done...
