[nachthymnen]

This is a beautiful work!!!

[bazx]

nol is the second oil sep a temprite 900

if not can you tell me which one it is

and is it float type

[n00b 0f l337]

The second stage oil sep is a Temprite 300 series, the third stage is a temprite 902. Floated

[bazx]

902 you will have to tell me how it does

i have only used the 900

[n00b 0f l337]

Will do, I think its definitly overkill, but going to rock

[bazx]

imo the more automated the unit is the better

The cascade is the last thing you should be worrying about when you are benching

fine looking unit nol

[n00b 0f l337]

Thank you Bazx, you are the ultimate say on fine looking
The hand valve on the second stage is to remain open. Originally was testing capillary lengths for oil return, but I've got a liquid seal there so all is good and valve will stay open

Nol How in the heck can we pack this unit so that it doesnt get damaged while shipping? Also does the bottom of the case have any rollers? At 200lbs it might be a bit heavy for me to move around by myself.

[Polizei]

200 pounds?!

I knew compressors were on the heavy side, but I didnt think they were that heavy.

[n00b 0f l337]

Probably close to 200 or so. Rollers on the bottom mounted on oddly, putting some 2" squares of wood on and then mounting heavy casters to that. Might have to ship those off the unit though, rolling pallets dont get along with gravity.
Going to ship by pallet I think, tons of bubble wrap and that plastic pallet wrap.

nol:
I don't think any shipping company will ship it without pallet, to heavy.

I would recommend a wooden box on pallet or a pallet with pallet collers.. like this:



a top would be great too.

[n00b 0f l337]

Ya definitly, thats how we'll probablyend up shipping. Just need to find a shipping company thats decently affordable and insures

[Sneil]

If you can afford the time to drive and pick it up, that would be the absolute best option. Lookin good nol

[AliG]

that'll be a long drive to and from NJ from Atlanta, but I suppose worth it, that way he saves money on shipping (200lbs aint cheap to ship) and the risk of something getting damaged is far less if he has control of it since he'll be extremely careful with the beast

georgia -> new jersey

it's a couple of miles

[n00b 0f l337]

UPS service seems to be about $200 to ship a pallet. However that changes heavily based on its "class" which is an option I did not understand nor did the search for class tool help at all.
Class 50 is $200 ish with insurance to $5000,
And Class 500 is $900, so lets figure that out

Ah, Class is based on liability per pound. Well at Class 85-100 then charges are only $200 total ish.

georgia -> new jersey

it's a couple of miles

According to google map, 881 mi – about 13 hours 41 mins. To me its worth it for something like this as it would basically eliminate the possibility of any shipment gone wrong headaches. It has happened before with cascades being severely damaged and getting the insurance worked out may be a big drawn out hassle. But thats just my personal opinion.

[n00b 0f l337]

That is true, but UPS via pallet is quite good.

All depends if SDumper knows somebody with a small truck or maybe a big back seat. With gas prices being as high as they are, that is a factor to take into consideration.

[n00b 0f l337]

Think 20 MPG in a truck, 881 * 2 is 1762. 1762/20 is 88.1 gallons. At $3.25 a gallon or so thats definitly more then shipping and plus the time to drive...

[sdumper]

I drive a two seater Audi TT coupe convertible and the wife drives a Volvo XC90 so me picking it up would also entail renting a truck...

I would rather have UPS ship this but I want to pack the interior full of t-shirts, foam whatever so that it cant shift at all while shipping. If this thing were to shift and break a line that would be a disaster for me..

Jinu117 is an expert at packing maybe we could pick his brain. When he shipped my SS to me he had some foam which molded so that the unit wasnt able to shift at all. Not sure where he got the foam though

[tim-]

it will cost alot more to drive and grab it then ship it + i don't think it's too big risk to ship on pallet, never heard of problems with pallet shipping..

Instaaaapakkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!

[sdumper]

Shweet...thanks NoL i didnt know what it was called but it worked great

you de man!!

Hopefully you can complete the remaining plumbing and show 3 stage Ice by Wednesday of next week I would think. I would like you to try and load test this at -125c for 3 to 4 hours a day for a 10 day stretch. Or if you really think you wont have any oil leakage or other problems maybe leave it load testing for 2 or 3 days straight. Im still surprised that you believe it can go for 24x7 use without oil leakage but your the Pro and I trust you 100% on this

It can't leak anything or it doesn't work. I'm willing to take side bets that you can't run it 24/7 PM me if your interested.

Go get um NOL
