If you want to play with two, try two in parallel.
Would it be possible to use one compressor before the condenser and one after it? I'm thinking that if you use a refrigerant that wouldn't condense but lose most of it's heat at room temperature (from the first compressor), you should still have vapor entering the second compressor. The second compressor then would need effective subcooling to get the refrigerant to condense to a liquid. Or does this then qualify as a two-stage system?
