    A suction line accumulator has a J tube with a orifice in it to return oil, they are mounted vertically.

    That looks like a filter/dryer to me.


    yes low temp plumbing solder 50/50 lead/tin even that you can't use that mix for plumbing anymore, it will work great for this application.

    The Laws of Thermodynamics say:

    Zeroth Law: "You must play the game."
    First Law: "You can't win."
    Second Law: "You can't break even."
    Third Law: "You can't quit the game."

    Do you wanna Play Thermodynamics ???????? I forgot "you must"

    Walt, the accumulator is empty inside so in essence I large diameter tube not a suction accumulator

    hehe for sure, from the outside it looks like a vapo LS still

    Here is a few of the last pics I took, I dont have the panels for it so its just some shots of the open unit.

    On Idle I see around -66c on the vapo display, sometimes just jumps to -69c. The Vapo chillcontroll on this one is about 6c colder on idle but reasonbaly accurate below -50c and below -40c pretty much the same temp as my meter. Not as bad as Mach controllers for sure.

    Idle temp without the head attached to load tester on vapo LCD and my thermometer
