Nice job. Do you make your own thermocouples? How are they bonded to the tubes?

If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.

Yes I make my own. Simply twist ends together for about 4-5 turns, pre-tin with 60-40 rosin flux solder, re-dip in flux, use micro torch to pre-tin area on copper with 60-40 solder (flux before hand), while heating --- immerse end of TC in pool of solder, and most important --- hold very steady while it cools.

I was having problems with the R-600. Think it has to do with needing in-between gas such as R-290 (you guys did suggest this earlier).
Anyway for right now I went back to what I am used to working with: HCFC's for Liquid.
Here are the first test run results (No Load estimated as 25 Watts Static):
