Exactly. I hate rushed tweaking.
Here it costs you no real cash but electricity to play around.

Update for you later boys. Going to start cutting and measuring steel, and pressure testing the heat exchangers, AND creating the big massive pink box of doom!

Pink time!
Those CPEV's are looking beastley aren't they?

Kool, what do they do?

[NoL]

CPEV's allow adjustment of the suction pressure via the screw on the front.
In short, as suction pressure changes, so does evaporation temperature. Thus I can control the evaporation temperature of EACH stage!

Left loosy, righty tighty? Which way is colder/hotter?

[NoL]

Frick if I know. Probably righty tighty brings the screw into the body, more pressure on the screw, and pressure goes up? Pretty easy to test when its running. Normally they're set at 5-10psi to start. Even if its set at max of 55psi low side, it won't make a difference.

I think I went a bit overboard height wise. Don't need that much! (Yay the cascade just got shorter!) I think I'll shave 2 inches off of her. Having the "low" HX in the center helps with the insulation of it. Normally -80 to -90C would require 3" of foam.

ROFL

I'll stop buggin u now and leave u to your work, lol.

[NoL]

Hahaha bug away, I think I'm almost done for the night. Cutting down that foam. Add some tube insulation inside the box, some tapering nails to hold it together, then break out some duct tape for an air tight seal. Maybe autocad the cage up. Keep your eyes peeled!

5 of 6 gauge kits.
2 ft of 1/8" tube on each, after brazing in an inch and a half of 1/4" tube to a tube adapator.
Will find that last bit or just pickup another while I'm at homedepot getting JB Weld for these joints. I don't like teflon tape, it's just not robust enough for me.
