Unit is here!! I will post some pics up when I get a better reception with the cell phone. Gonna fire it up and make sure she works tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully I can bench by mid week

Sweet. I will live vicariously through your endeavors this week while I am away.

Oh boy!! I just turned her on for her first cycle and she pulled negative temps quick

It took about 45 seconds to go from ~42c to ~-15c.

First impressions..... Unit is way smaller than I imagined, but heavier than I planned on. Noise levels are below my expectations.

Update: She just finished her third cycle. I'm gonna give it about three more before I call it and say all the oil is back in the compressor. So far the longest she has ran is 2 minutes. Max temps so far is -45c and I think that is about it until I get some lower ambients. -45c is reached right at 1m 30s and holds steady from there.

I can't wait to get the time to insulate the board and get to benching.

Thanks for all the support guys. You make life enjoyable.

Sadly, its almost 6pm here and I'm at the office.

I think I'll have myself caught up enough to get everything prepped and ready here soon. Maybe one of these days all these late nights at work will pay off.

As where ever a person lives at that is different than where the builder is, temps will be some what different. Like Kals 2 stage Casade, here unloaded was -111.7, but at his place its -106

Also a unit with a very low unloaded temp will generally not handle a load very well. From what I understand Ron tuned it for max loaded temps, and that will effect the unloaded readings making them a little warmer, but it will handle loads better this way. Its a big balancing act.

But unloaded temps really mean nothing
