thanks godmod
tim its not to bad to remove just some wire wool
adam i was going to put a water dsh in the first stage for when it gets to hot here in the summer
but changed my mind when i got the smalled candenser you can see for nothing
from an old cooler
i will be able to turn the fan on and off on the dsh if its to cold out or winter
amazed!:) from what he did till now(the way is perfectly looking) he must have check it for leaks;) congrats!
bend perfection :ocau:
It looks cold bazx :up:
Superb work Baz, cant wait to see it running :D
This is just looking to good baz, i will have to work harder now i have seen this work, well done mate it's looking Ace.
Very good build and well thought out, well done!
I guess my next statement is all down to personel taste. The yellow pipework looks ming.
beautiful, beautiful... sub'd
i see where your coming from... but i think the blue/yellow go together wonderfully. if it was not cased i think it would look silly, but idk how to say it... just looks so innovative i guess.Quote:

there has been a delay in my plans as the first stage compressor failed to work
but the two weeks while i waited for the new unit were not wasted as i rewired my shed and upgraded the power supply also managed to brase up the evaporator and cut down my work bench to allow me to push the cascade in the same spot where cascade 4 used to sit
also fitted the solenoid for the hot gas by-pass to the evap

the evap next to toms V8-R is a chilly clone i included a shot just to show how big the v8 evap really is

shot of the hot gas by-pass solenoid this ill allow me to "warm up" the evap to get past any cold boot problems by just pressing a button hot gas will be taken from before the hx and piped straight to the evap face
http://www.benchtec.co.uk/images/baz...g/P1000263.jpg
gassed the first and second stage also
as you can see the the panel xt120c with pt100 prob are around 10c out to my fluke with k prob mounted in the same location

nice to see some frost on the unit @last

Nice one baz, all starting to come together now, not long now before we start to see some ice on that amassing evap that Tom made, I just cannot wait to see what she can do.
you would not believe how much noise this thing makes i will need ear protection:D
the last stage is going to take a bit of time to tune
i will put the hot by-pass cap tube and the liquid line cap on tomorrow night
and mount the line set then probably gas the the third stage tuesday
after that it will be down to load testing and adjusting the cap tube length for the the evap which is the bit that will take the time
Awesome job, the only thing that I have against it is that it's ment to be "mobile".
It isn't very mobile when you need three large power sockets wherever you park it. :P
thanks for the kind words lads and sorry for not keeping this up to date i have had an event here i34 that just about sucked the last of my strength
update:
after alot of work i failed to get the unit working on R14 (this is the gas that would give me -130) so to get the unit working for i34 i put in R1150
which is giving me a solid -107 loaded
i will stick with this gas for now as i want to bench for a while
i have a few ideas on how to get the r14 working but it can wait for a month now
just been setting up a rampage extreme with a 8600 for the weekend so will have some fun on my own for a change
just had 620fsb out the box on stock air so its looking good
wait- ive been following this thread but i appear to have missed this-
r404a on first(or 507a w/e) but r23 on second? r1150 on third? what kind of capacity are you getting with ethylene on the third?
Insane capacity, it's going to be rather low pressure though I imagine.
EDIT: Like I said at Benchtec Bazx, your long liquid run is dooming you I think.
507tev, 23tev, 1150 capQuote:

I don't suggest it, an even larger liquid line? No way. You should be out the bottom of the plate hx, and right to your evap.
I know you want that quick change box, so maybe move it much closer, or run 1/8" tube or something from plate hx to the box.
there will be problems with this for sure but i want to try any how
i will set-up a test evaporator first just for the experiments
the pipe work will have to change from the hx to the mount box i would also think
i enjoy this part of cascade building the most, trying different solution
I totally understand, my favorite part too :)
