Classified bios????

Any of you guys hear from nol?

We lost a few posts on this thread in the data loss. I am taking over this build and will push it out the door as fast as safely possible. Waiting on images of the current state of the cascade and specifications. Sent him my shipping address, waiting to hear back.

gomeler when you talk to him can you remind him i also want my stuff back as well?

[[XC] gomeler]

I'm not a messenger, sorry. I won't get involved with anything past this cascade. I will however forward along the email address I've been contacting him with.

this thread has nothing to do with me I have just been watching it hoping this would get resolved, now he has got one of the best builders on the forum completing it, I know Gom will do a great Job!

I'm hardly one of the best. I'm a college student with a college student budget. I am just very creative with what little I have available to me

[Ozzfest05]

well skill with the work is a Minor detail in my mind , I would rather have a decent builder skill wise that keeps contact, is friendly and gives you an enjoyable experience then someone who is the master of phase but a real jack @ss if you know what I mean.

Chris your work is top notch and your also one of the most trust worthy people I have met in awhile.

I have been in contact with him by email in the past couple days. If you need that addy you can pm me.

When I found out Chris would be doing this I was quite relieved that the end might be in sight. I haven't been around much because I'm a bit under the weather and preparing for another round of treatments beginning next week.

Supposedly being shipped to me this weekend, we will see. If I receive it next week I'll have a few days I can work on it in a row. Will be interesting to see how he did this.

Unfortunately the photos in the build thread are gone and I didn't save any.

I've heard a rumor that the unit is on it's way to Chris? Can it be true? Just when I was having a bad day this comes along. I love how that works.

Tracking information updated earlier this morning, the cascade will be here tomorrow. I'll snap as many pictures as possible and tear into it tomorrow.

sorry, found it...

He is back at OCX as well. No build log there yet.

Hopefully the unit arrives in good shape, glad to see it finally moving forward

Just cleared off my second desk, everything is prepped and set to go. Have a condenser here for the 2nd stage desuperheater to try and drop system pressures/temps, ordering a CPEV so Loonym can adjust the evap pressures, and ordering a solenoid to incorporate a hot-gas bypass into the evap to quickly warm up the evap. Hopefully this build will have a quick turn-around time, CPEV arrives next week Tuesday, solenoid next week Thursday. Adam says there is a leak somewhere in the system so I'll spend the next week leak-testing and possibly re-piping if necessary.

Cascade has arrived. Unboxed it and it looks like it survived the trip. I have to admit it is very small, about half the size of the the other cascade on my bench. Looking up the compressors, it uses a ~3/4hp Samsung rotary QS072CCA compressor on the 1st stage and one of the ebay ~1/2hp Rechi rotary compressors on the 2nd stage. Capillary on both stages, pressure gauges but it has ports on both stages and thermometers on the HX and evap. There is a solenoid valve on here that dumps from the discharge and looks like it goes to the evap, need to talk to Adam to get information on it.

Heading out for dinner, tomorrow morning I'll tackle this thing and figure out what is wrong. I see no oil so if there is a leak it must be tiny.

edit: can we no longer attach images or do I not have the proper permissions?
double edit: I'm an idiot.
triple edit: can we no longer upload attachments directly to XS?

[Movieman]

Use imageshack for the time being..

[loonym]

Thanks for the update gomeler.

Well it sure is hard to leak-test a unit with leaky hoses. My primary gauge set is on my cascade so I whipped out an old set, turns out the seals are beat to crap. The 1st stage fires up fine though, so electrically everything is working. Dumped 200psi into the 1st stage and I have 1 hose connected, let's see if it drops, so far it is holding.

[tiborrr]

Fingers crossed!

Here's where I say a big public THANK YOU to Gomeler!

I'm a beliver of what goes around ,comes around.....Do good deeds and Good things happen.......You'll do well in Life Gomeler.

200psi held for ~18 hours. I'm going to pull the CO2 out of the system, vac down, and dump 90psi of r22 into the 1st stage. Going to leave a ball-valve on the suction valve so I can quickly gauge up to the 1st stage and move on to the 2nd stage. Adam mentioned it might have just been a sticky valve on the 1st stage, looks like that may have been the case. Hope all this thing needs is a tune
