Hey people!

Rotary 28,3ccm (but this is just a assumption)
0,8kW condensor with 4x120mm (Delta... 7W each fan)
old stepper evap, I'm going to change it as soon as i get more money...
1,5m flexible suction line

I started with a home made phase-seperator (stainless steel pipe without steelwool).

... but it didn't seperate and i was not satisfied.

After that, Mytekcontrolls gave me the advice to add an SLHX . I did that, but results didn't change. Tbh the SLHX is made out of 12mm copperpipe and 2x 2mm captubes and is only 1m long. That was all I had at home....

So, after that I was nerved. I don't like to braze stainless steel and silver-rods are quite expensive.... so I orderd a Temprite 340.
I saw this one on a picture from Cyrotek, so I was sure it will work .

With the Temprite, my sightglas for R290 was empty/just a VERY little flow.

I tried everything, different captubes, different gasses .... no success!

My first autocascade worked, and the phasesep was a old fire exgunisher filled with steel wool.
Hopeless, I brazed this ugly thing into the unit.
AND!!
SUCCESS!



(I have to say that this was in my -5°C cold workplace.)



I removed the sightglass (R23 liquid line) because I'm not sure if it likes the cold. All the pics were made with R290 and CO2, because this is a mixture I don't need to recycle. Tomorrow I will fill with R290 and R23. Hope to get better temps. -80°C would be nice.


Of course, the unit is ugly as hell, but hey... autocascade... .

I wish you all a good chrismas!
