The first two are the receiver. Its a Ref. Research Model 1947. I picked it because of its horizontal mounting. It fits well with my design.
It has a 2.7lb holding capacity. It would be three, but with 507 a .9 multiplier is recommended.
After that is the TXV, which is a Sporlan SBFSE-A-C. The evap temp minimum is -10F which is good for my design. I got this one because the strainer can be changed without having to remove the valve. I took a pic of the sight glass and the drier, but they're nothing special.....
I decided to use a better check valve with this unit. Its much easier to assemble without concern of melting any seals.
I'm using hotel pans as my reservoirs. They're stainless steel, and not aluminum. Though I don't anticipate any corrosion problems, I'll still protect all joints with a special coating to prevent any water contacting the connection.
