Well, I have frost....

Well, after the meldown, decided on a Swifttech 6002. Not sure the pump I have is enough, but I thought it was the best compromise for simplicity, efficiency and cost.

I also insulated the load tester a bit. Its 94ohm, so with the pump and the voltage, total load is 180W.



A pic of the full sys loaded @ 180W and R134a


I had some Freeze12 lieing around, so I thought Id see if it was any better. Im too cheap to buy a can tap, or the $16 3/16 flare pierce valve. I had a R12 can tap lying around, so I put it to use, nice and getto...

So, the temps so far have been pretty good for the system Ive built. But....here are the pressures for R134a. I get the best temps with 134, not the Freeze12..I don't think Im supprised there.
