    My vapo LS mod progress

    right a while ago i ask'd a few questions on here but still was unclear so i have spent a lot of time reading and now know much more lol

    lots o pics
    here it is as it was before (bodged by someone else)


    So it begins
    found a nice power plug @ maplins switch fuse and plug -> here <-



    Gutted


    1st pipe arangment did not go there as did not have enuff pipe




    oil change, out with the old in with the new lol after asking endlessly for days of where to get it from i managened to get 1L of POE rl 32 from the shop where i got the 0.031" captube


    new armaflex and braid and got some 50mm srinktube from the eBay to
    also the wiring to the compressor was cack so redid it with new 3core and terminals all solder'd for safty



    desuperheat coil and condencer this is the only pic i got lol also add rubber tap washers to the compressor mounts and the condencer for vibration dampaning


    i do not own a vac pump and there was no way i was going to pay &#163;160 for one so i bodged my compressor yay -28 Hg noisey but affective



    mangaed to get a set of 134a-404a-507 gages with lines &#163;29 from BES
    left the vapo in vac over night to see if there was any leaks and none lol


    i got a can of 134a from halfaruds for &#163;20 just to prime and test
    lol charge'd it you thru the hi side till about 30psig then run the system within 3mins -46c 0w load server vacuum on compressor i add'd more to low side now its ticking over @-40c ,lowside is -7Hg, hiside 110psig but its icing up the compressor but no floodback at all ran it for 3 hours not a problem and less of charge then it floods is that just the 134a?.
    i'll get it charged with 404a soon




    mounted the chill control on to one of my hdd trays


    thats it for now ill post up updates when i get time let me know what you think i thought i did well as its my 1st time brazing and working with chiller bits..
