LOL

[Sume4]

Yeah. I want to see too. Though id like to build a chiller myself too.

[Jort]

LOL is that second copper coil a desuperheater or what?

if yes i am laughing like hell, damn the use of a desuperheater is WAY LOST

edit:

the system redo will have this large desuperheater. I'll put a fan on it also, but thats later

k i was right, please gimme a break, Good fan on that condensor is good enough. desuperheater is USeless in this system.

[Roxter]

No really is any one here ?

Wow thanks for the help on that.

[SexyMF]

Stow your sarcasm, you have more posts in this thread than the author.

Why are you busting gut to see this project out?

[littleowl]

Not to interrupt but I was hoping to see this done as well!! I learn more when I see the end results!! Maybe that is the same way with mystic

[[XC] mysticmerlin]

Well? I have the same water fountain and am watching this very close to see what you get out of it. I don't know wether to go DD or Chilled and can't wait to see it.

Read the whole thread not just ride me. What is the point of this conversation anyway? Did I pi$$ in your cherios this morning or what?

[SexyMF]

So rig up your compressor on a board and see how it goes. Then you can build a fancy case and temperature control.

So what was the response from the PM then?

But again why is this your pet peave? What did I do to you? Do you know me in another life or what?
I am "doing mine" check out the chilling section of this forum if you can get off my but that long. I am sure you will find something nice to say about it.
I am done with this, have a nice day and I hope you get a life soon.

[RussC]

Well,
Im starting this back up again. Im dumping the PCV resivoir and am going with the H-50 Evap. Then getting a small resivoir along with it.

I saw the conversation about the de-super heater. That will eventually change into a real cooler from a secound stage water cooler unit. ~1/8W compressor. I plan to run a more exotic referigerant to the pressures should be acceaptable.

Ill have more updates and pics in ~week, still waiting on the H-50 HX. I also have a Pony Pump. It has a stainless steel head, so temps shouldn't matter, and its big enough.

H-50's are wonderful man, and built to handle about 1/2 ton, plus there solid copper.

[[XC] mysticmerlin]

Hope it is ok with you SmF that is post in here again.
I build a quickie chiller around one of those HX's and it did -17c in the wide open no ins on it. Can't wait to see what you get out of it.

[RussC]

Well,
I went crazy and pulled out my credit card over at Johnstone Supply......



Im going high end now. The system will have the built in guages, a R22 TEV and some real HX's.



These are 1ton water condensors. But Ill be using them to cool water. The guys over at the DD forum use them in multi-stage systems for condensors. I have 2, so Ill run them in parallel from the TEV.



This is a Parker TEV, R22, -40C unit. Ill be using R22A to start.




I also got my CC out on Ebay, picked these up for $15 each(got two). That is the deal of the century. There 8"x10"x2". Thell be for the main compressor stage and my second stage.

My second stage will be the inline HX-50(no pic yet). That will cool the refrigerant from the main stage condensor outlet. It just a small 1/8hp water cooler compressor that will run R-134a. That should lower the refrigerant temps by about 10-15C. I figure with R22A, I should get this chiller to ~-45C no load easy.

I also ordered up a leak detector and can tap off of Ebay. Should arrive pretty quick. I looking to get this stuff in the next week and start the build in ~6 or 7 days.

Looks like my shop floor at work.

[BigBen2k]

Ah! so you're the one I've been bidding against!

I picked up four of those H-50 heat exchangers myself.

Nice work!
