Out of curiousity, what combinations of gas would be recommended in an autocascade using a 1HP compressor?
Steering clear of combustibles, what options are available?
I'm not sure how far you can go with a 1Hp compressor, and what tends to work well together...
I've seen that R22 tends to be a favored High gas. It's relatively cheap, and I haven't seen it noted as combustible.
Easiest option for a Low gas is R410a as it's readily available and reasonably priced, and seems like a gas that 1hp could work with. Is that usable in an Autocascade? Compatible with R22? Would a person need to use R290 at all or would an oil separator make it unnecessary? I have a feeling that 508b/r23/1150 are all going to be out with 1HP compressor, and I'd rather not consider CO2 simply because of the 'Issues' with it at low temp freezing. Would any of the above gases be usable?
Only other question is about rough amounts of each gas in an Autocascade...I realise that it's never the same for different systems, but what kind of ratio's are generally considered correct?
Are working pressures for an autocascade vastly different than other systems?
I appreciate the drawing very much, Coyote is the artist, and it's been very helpful
Realising that the configuration may not be entirely correct in that drawing, the R507 wouldn't be measureable as it's a liquid?
The R23 access looks like a measure point, as does the High and Low access points, and in a good working system, idle and load, what kind of working pressures would you expect?
Sorry to be asking so many questions, I'm trying to understand the systems before deciding what's going to work well, and be the least expensive to produce.
