    Damn impressive man. I really hope you can work out the R14 issues. How did NoL make it work yet the two of you are having such huge issues? Would be great to see that baby pull down to -140C

    getting a temp of -139 is one thing having a unit that does it every time you turn your unit on and can bench with a load on it is where both me and sacha35
    have had problems gomeler

    one thing i can say for sure is if we get r14 working in our units we will say exactly how we did it

    @annton How loud is it? it was very loud before the panels went on however i have yet to try it with them on

    hey whats the weight on it baz? can you lift it? are you using cap tube or a txv on the third stage? how much do you think it cost? how loud is it?




    hehe im just playing with you. i hope the txv fixes those frustrating r14 issues

    Indeed a spectacular build! Is it possible you have oil related issues? Would two oil separator in series solve this issue? Have you ever tried CPEV evaporator feeding on third stage?

    i had originally thought it was oil but not any more it works fine with 1150 which off load can get to -115 if there were oil there i would see problems with both refrigerants

    august had some success with r14 tev that is whats driving this current experiment

    I still think alot of your problems are oil related Bazx.
    Hope you get it pulling major ass kicking soon though it seems like it does that more then enough already


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

    Cpev

    after quite a bit of work with R14 i am beginning to understand its behavior a little better

    link to earlier work with a tev and r14

    http://www.xtremesystems.org/FORUMS/...d.php?t=214659


    i have moved to a cpev (supplied by piotres) setup for the first time and so far i like it

    it does not seem to leak at very cold temps altho atm i have not tried one under load

    but it installed very easy and pulled down to -132

    hp is 8 bar atm but most likely rise to 9 bar under load

    vacuum is - 5 but i expect it to settle around 0 also once under load


    the evap is a chilly clone but 1/3 longer supplied by cold ice and has 3x 2mm cross holes leading to the suction return near the base
    the feed from the cpev is 1/4 and feeds in at the top of the spiral

    if you look down the evap you can see the cross drilled return holes




    i will be load testing on Saturday with the same AMD rig i used in the tev experiments

    If you do have oil issues it will log up in the cpev after running a bit and temps will drop. Very nice experiment bazx - we're all watching
    UNDER THE ICE .com
    Phase Change Cooling

    is the remedy

    ron if this fails mate i am going back to R1150


    R14 has been a long and costly journey and i need to be nearing the end

    also i have found that most oil problems with the refrigerant are at least with my experience linked to high vacuum

    if you can control the vacuum and keep it the right side of -10 it tends not to pull oil thro the oil separator

    paul came over sunday and we spent the day tunning the unit to work with R14 and the cpev under load


    we completed the work with the cpev

    and i have my unit stable under load now @-122 which is at around 230w (i used a cpu@1.8v5000mhz with wprime on all for cores and measured the load)

    first stage refrigerant has been changed to 404a (this is just a cost saver as i did not need to go to the expense of 507)

    i used a 02 orifice on the first stage and a 00 on the second stage which is the r23 tev but this is very close to its maximum and i think i will change this to a 01 orifice soon

    the r14 stage needed 11.5 bar hp to hold load which i thought was a little high i had expected it to work @ 9 bar with the r23 stage @ -82 but my gauges might be out a little

    one thing i have found with this refrigerant is it wont work in a strong vacuum any more then -10 inch and it wont pull down

    under load i have vacuum @ +1 and high pressure at 11.5 bar this give me -122c

    ready for some benching now

    AMD are sending over a 955 CPU and Gigabyte have supplied a MA790XT-UD4P which is an AM3 setup so that will be my next project
