SC21CLX cascade

[cold_ice]

Started a new cascade on Friday. I'm working out the best layout to get all parts on this little plate. Want to make a compact and strong unit. I'm using a TEV in the first stage, captube or a CPEV in second stage.
At the moment I'm looking for a nice case, hope I can get one for a good price.


The parts:
1.stage:
Danfoss SC21CLX
1,1KW Condenser
0,88l Receiver
Castel Sightglass
Danfoss filter
Danfoss TES2 with 00 orifice
PlateHX
R507

2.stage:
Danfoss SC21CLX
small desuperheater
Danfoss OUB1 oilseparator (some guys say its the best, but expensive as hell)
DN12 stainless steel line with braid
Danfoss pressure control
Refco Relief valve
High/Lowside gauges
R1150

I hope I have enough next week to get most of the work done, very busy right now..

Very nice cascade you build cold ice !

How well does a plateHX performs ? Is it better from the homemade with 3/16" & 5/8 tubes ???

[[XC] MarioMaster]

everything is so new and shiny

all my units look ugly as most of the parts came from old equipment

[Sneil]

thats going to be one good looking unit! Nice work!!

[cold_ice]

8 plates in the plate HX. They are really nice, only using them now. They are much smaller and have a lot of performance. A bit expensive though...
Of course only new parts are used in all of my units!

it sucks to not have money to buy stuff brand new like that

[bazx]

i want lots of pics so i can copy it hehe

[hawaiiparty]

@ cold ice when you will install refco relief valve and danfoss pressure controll please could you make a photo of their connection and post it...many thx

[hawaiiparty]

another question: why did you buy refco capillary line with nuts and not simply captube with no nuts? did you use them for gauges so you need nuts?

maybe that, or he connects it to the TEV

[hawaiiparty]

so godmod you are saying that he uses them after the cpev to feed the evap?

[cold_ice]

There are some pics of the relief valve and the pressure switch installed in my 4 stage cascade thread. But I will make some from this cascade too, mo problem.
The captube with nuts is to connect the gauges in the unit.

yes i thought he could probably do that, but here you have it ^^

[hawaiiparty]

after the cpev what are you planning to use?

[skirms_fr]

i think 2 mm captube

[cold_ice]

I don't know if I use a CPEV, maybe captube. When I use a CPEV I will use 2mm captube.

How long?

Why did you choose an 8 plate heat exchanger?

The cooler will be awesome

[cold_ice]

About 1 meter.
The 8 plate HX was the smallest available. Its rated up to 4kw.

[piotres]

Yes, cold_ice Your plate HX is really small Very nice

[hawaiiparty]

excuse me but i'm a dummie. what are the differences between the 2 mm captube tha is planning to use cold ice and a 2.3 mm ID CAPTUBE?
