Frozen SS

[kayl]

great

thanxs luke
my new cases came back today, 50cm long 23cm wide and 24cm hight
compressor styds in base and studs for the LCD so cant see the srews

Awesome kayl.
They'r looking very professional

[jinu117]

Very nice Kayl SS?

jinu117 is a single stage .
mini frozen cascade case.

Kayl, I'm in the process of designing a new case. An enclosure(about the dimensions of the one below) is going to carry a phase change unit(by jin, thanks man!) and will be located in the interior of the case. I want to keep as much heat out of the interior of the case as possible, so I would like to add some insulation to the inside of the phase enclosure. The only idea I could come up with is a section of "sound mat"(like what is used in vehicles trunks by car stereo installers).

Do you have any recommendations on a type of thin, effective insulation?

i used this stuff i think it was 17mm or so thick.
it just foam similar to foam with silver foil on one side for heat resistance.

[goatboy]

Thanks. Exactly what I was thinking about.

Something a normal hardware store would carry? Where did you pick it up?

[kayl]

goatboy i just glued it to the case

The new BA series of Kirby.
only just came in.
1/3hp r404/507

[kayl]

I just looked at the serial number, and it seems that this is the 16 one of this compressor. Layed the parts out in the case today, need to keep the low volatage wires away from the high voltages

[kayl]

Been trying some r507/410a/290 blends but low side pressure was a little high. after a little chat with drew i have decided to go straight r507 with this condenser. I first tried single fan then went push pull fan config.
But this little condenser just couldnt handle R410a very well
maybe with the cube condenser and a longer capillary line ill try stright r410a with next build

Your a machine kayl. keep up the awesome work.

I tried straight r410a the other day like we spoke about and not much luck. i hope you can do better than me.
0-5psi lowside had 250psi high side , but 300-350 load with 10-15psi lowside.
Specially summer time the condensing temp is higher.
I tried 2.7m to 3.3m of 0.031" as well with not much luck. Had better results with longer capillary line but still high side pressure was to extreme for my liking.
I dont think ill try straight r410a again, maybe a few squirts with r507 but thats it.
i then charged it with stright r507 and now idle 200psi and 250psi load

I managed to finally get the gfroster XE working which i had had here for months. this was the 4th different model compressor i have tried it in with no luck. i had to wire the compressor and fans manually, then start the controller after the compressor starts to stop it from tripping the gfroster and getting bad characters etc

[Brettbeck]

Nice units kayl !

[kayl]

thanxs brettbeck.

My variac arrived today, 0-260V 500VA
Perfect for a triple load tester

I am gonna make another resistor load to go from 0-250+ W
Little mirror to check all joins just to make sure all joins done properly.
And tomorrow im hoping to pick up a new dual stage vacuum pump.
Late Christmas here heeheh.

[kayl]

finally a real vac pump

[Trouffman]

do you have description about this vac pump ?

little dual stage pump ?

Awwww. isn't it cute hahaha

good choice
CPS are makes very good vaccum pumps

i got a new mobo last week, a P5b -E Plus, bit cheaper than a delux.
But i wouldnt recommend them to any as they are a pile of SHIITEE
They are missing a hole bunch of IC around the socket, so not phase 8 regulation, i guess to same some $$.
WEll i has at a lan and I was running 1.7vcore and 2.45 RAM and auto everything else at the time.
THis was the second time i have used the mobo on phase change.
I put a friends E6400 in there and got it to 32m stable at 4.1GHz.
so i dropped OC back to 4ghz and ran orthos and it failed.
So then i tried 3.85GHZ and ran orthos few mins and it crashed.
And the smell of smoke. SO that was the end of that, luck i hand another stock PC in the car to use for the rest of the day.
I stuck a copper block on the end of the cooler and some of the guys added small drops of water on it till we got this heeheh.
ITs regulor or what ever the IC is, is the one that you read the NB voltage off, so seems the NB was the issue?????

[{.bLanK} GoD]

Oh dude that sucks. Your mates E6400 ok I hope though?
Great you finally made it to lan, but not such a great first impression

[LostInSpace278]

Get the part # off of the IC and order another one. Most IC's a fairly common. Looks like 4 soldering points, not to bad to solder.

[{.bLanK} GoD]

Good point.
For the 1$ it will cost you for the new regulator or whatever it is, cheap experiment. It may just live again.

[kayl]

I though about do that lostinspace and blankgod, but I don’t really like this mobo hey, I have only had it a week and the issues its given me might see if I can swap it at the shop and pay some more $$ and get a different mobo again.
With the vcore set at 1.7v in bios it droops to 1.6v in windows during 32m benches, then I run orthos and that droops to 1.44v which cant be good. I have only had it a weeks so RAMing it will be easy. There must be something else wrong with this mobo for the Vcore to droop that much.
There some more info I have posted about this mobo at this thread as well.
Half the Ic around the socket are missing compared to the deluxe version of this mobo

[{.bLanK} GoD]

Yeah fair enough.
If you can RMA it, go for it.
It does sound like a pretty mobo.

[kayl]

Basically finished, first unit i have used the Freeze Pack Controller in a cased unit, turned out well.
i dont mind this controller, alot easier to wire and also like the fan speed contoll
