    there shouldn't be a water in the refrigerant loop, water on the outside of the coil don't matter.

    if you want to drain water make or use a suction canister, like the ones you see at the head of beds in the er or icu, to make one take a container with a good lid and put 2 hose in it just thru the top,make 1 go thru a inch more than the other ,this will be your suction line. hook one to a vacuum source and use the other to draw out fluid. I'll post a pic of a comericial one

    Like I said, I'm not worried bout no tripple phase. :p Plasma is obviously out of the question lol; I was just stating that its the next phase above gas because I didn't know what they meant by tripple point hehe...

    Yea but plazma is so cool! I was reading last night about a 10mv plazma soil hardening unit...yeas 10 million volt plazma torch..used to turn the foundation of a new building into rock.....the ion processing rate must be exponential and the sheilding gas must go through some hell!

    The triple point of water can happen in anyones house(at xtremesystems anyway ), as the triple point of water is 0 C at 0.0887239353 psi, i.e. the temp and pressure where liquid solid and gaseous water can co exist.

    However that has nothing to do with Steweis Dilema

    Regards

    "Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don't understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two points. The third time you go through it, you know you don't understand it, but by that time you are so used to that subject, it doesn't bother you anymore".

    Well, today I've completed the rig up for my condenser loop. Although I hope the pipes are low enough, otherwise I won't be fitting them under my bed lol. Got valves on both ends.

    Leak tested it under 40 PSI, found a leak or two, fixed it. Tested again, no leaks. Then I drew a vac to check for leaks again. Strange as it seems, sometimes you can burst test something and it passes, but then it wont hold a vac. Mind held. Odds are any water that was inside boiled off in the 6 or 7 minutes.

    The cooler loop is my dilema though. However, I did learn one thing with the condenser loop hehe. When I pressurized it, and opened a valve, the water blew out lol. There wasn't much in there to begin with, but it was kinda cool hehe.
    Regards, Stew.....
