    WOW baz this is going to be really something. I am glad you took this approach and decided to make a 3stage unit. The craftsmanship of the 1/2 stage is really something.

    Are you simply going to put the other case on top and remove the roof on the 1/2 stage case , Or cut into the roof for the required space?

    Good luck

    yes on top

    no need to take the roof off there is already a hole where the old suction return was

    Are you hoping for around -75C condensing on the thrid stage?
    should be around there was thinking of using a longer cap maybe 2,8m of 0.031

    Good work!
    I hope the SC21 is big enough in the first stage. I wasn't satisfied with the performance of my 4 stage, with SC21 in first stage. But maybe you have better luck.
    What refrigerant will you use for the third stage? R14?

    "refigerant R507/R23/R1150"

    Maybe really go with R14, it will be better than R1150 in III stage...

    you should get nice temps, I with -60*C under load HX achieved -103*C@215W loaded with ethylene, you should get similar result I hope

    I love your builds

    I was waiting for this thread to appear Baz ! Looks great!
    Maybe if you are unhappy with the performance of R507/R23/R1150, you could allways change the R23 to R1150 too, it might gain just a little bit. I'm sure FUGGER's 3-stage has R1150 in both the 2nd and 3rd stage.


    Oh btw, to anyone in the UK wanting LN2... Try finding it at a decent price LOL! Here we can't transport it unless you have a specialised vehicle. I was quoted about £2.40 + VAT...PER LITRE! AND £35 delivery!! So for a typical 30/35 litre dewar, it would cost well over £100 in total. FAR FAR too much imo, which is why I didn't buy a dewar.
    The thing is there isn't the demand for small amounts, which is why it's so expensive. Gas suppliers such as BOC & Energas only want to deal in huge quantities, around 240 litres or more...
