    Not the r290, but the r170
    Got you

    There would be a 61C gap between the R-290 and the R-1150... might be wise to implement a Partial Phase Separator on the last stage prior to the final cascade condenser (see below). This way some liquid will be passed on to the next stage along with what ever gas is present, there by insuring that a disconnection between stages doesn't occur (as what happened to me on my R-600/R-170 charge test).

    Some experimentation will be needed to find the optimum height for the exit tube.

    Edit: Notice that this is a modification of my existing upper stage phase separator design.

    Side note: I usually don't respond to PM's or emails regarding the projects that I post in the forums. I feel it's much more fair to all, to answer questions within the forum topics themselves.
