    First System Finshed

    I've been reading the forums for a while and finally decided to post something.

    System Rundown:

    R22 with a little propane since I didn't change the oil

    Cap 58" .026

    1/5 hp embraco compressor a little small but does the job

    Evap and mounting hardware is all my own design

    condenser form chilly

    Holds around -30c on a 3.2 prescott


    Making the case from mesh was an accident it was left over from another project, luckily it didn't turn out looking like a chicken coop.





    I had a lot of fun building this system and there's probably many more to come.

    If thats truly your first attempt....one word: Sweet.

    Thats a nice unit bro. Be proud, thump your chest, and welcome to the madness.

    Man... NICE... is knuckle fine after all the wire brushing? I can never get myself to spend TOO much time on it after knowing it will just oxidize again.

    Wow that is very creative. Love the polished pipework too makes it look very nice.

    There's only 2 things need doing with that one.

    1. Get rid of the tape and use some heatshrink down there on the suction line.

    2. Get some cable sleeving

    Otherwise that's a good result. Got any pics of that evap?

    That is an attractive unit, nice work

    I'm with Gray though, it'd be an improvement using sleeving over them wires

    Where the suction line comes in I had a lot of problems making it look good and I still don't like it. even though it looks like generic electrical tape its actually EPR tape aka rubber with no backing and sticks to its self when stretched. works with a temperature down to -40 and has a soft rubbry feel. I would have taken the sleeving down all the way but the problem is the right angle with a cap tube sticking out, foam tape looked too bulky, heat shrink looked too rigid and had a problem following the sharp angle.

    And yes this is my first build I guess I did my homework and then some.

    The copper is polished with mothers aluminum polish surprisingly the shine stays for a while it was done more for the picture, also clear coat of paint to keep the shine wouldn't be that hard.

    I don't have an actual picture of the evap I have some 3d drawings and I'll take a picture of the mounting hardware.

    Welcome to XS MESH. I like like they are the tubes, and the originality of the system. It is a very pleasant work to be your first phase change.Happiness. I would like to see the details of the assembly, and to be able to be evap.

    Greetings
