looking good nol, i like your attention to detail as always..

almost an exact 5 month bump lol

Nice unit, i think i saw this one over on another forum

Obviously I haven't touched this in a while. Had shoulder surgery and medical school keeps you low on time. So back to work on it.
Today I finished the base, swapped first and second stage to new QK191CAB compressors (1hp), and made mounting brackets for every part.

Also got some brazing done.

Guess this thing is gonna be permanently mounted on that table? Looks beastly heavy.

Hey a little update; she's all brazed up except the flex and evaporator (still need to decide who's Evap is going on this!). So I began to pressure test the first stage.
I hooked up my N2 to the high side schrader and slowly increase the pressure.

Then something odd happened.

I'm checking my gauges on the front of this thing, and the high side one rises, but the low doesnt. So I figured I had a bad CPEV. Then I realized what it was.
The CPEV was set at 0psi.
So it was locking out the N2 flow.
With a laugh I opened up the CPEV and ta-da pressure on the low side. Fun to be able to adjust it all over. Can pop out the schrader on the low side and make N2 do whatever pressure I'd like. Like a miny regulator! :)

Pictures! (Sorry camera on phone)
