Sounds good, getting back into the trade.

Gary, this latest chiller certainly has captured my interest... please post pics of your progress

[Gary Lloyd]

I got a digicam. Went through all sorts of crap to get it working (long story). Finally got it working and then discovered that it has a usb connection, which my dinosaur computer doesn't have. Pics will have to wait until the new rig is up and running.

I am now testing chiller #3. It does -41C @ 100 watts heat load, and -36C @ 250 watts heat load.

Sounds good, now to await from pics. Do you use an actual captube or some other device?

[Gary Lloyd]

I use a cap tube. I have toyed with the idea of using a TXV, but this would add substantially to the cost. I want to keep the price low so that I can sell these.
