Also, Buckeye, you should insulate that removal device.
Who knows how much ln2 you're loosing to keep that thing icey

Now I have heard that some place before.....

I think its cool to see others approaches. I wasnt criticizing or anything NoL.

For me LN2 is just cheaper, easier, and better. If I could make a good cascade or have one built at a reasonable price I would. But neither of those things is gonna happen

Hey its the classic OC'ing arguement. Cascade or Disposable (Dryice/Ln2), cascade is just a long term investment.

[NoL]

Extra insulation bolstering the HX box, pushed finishing nails through, holds the walls in, and lined all the holes with nice black duct tape. That'll seal it up before I spray it with foam later on.
Now to do some welding work.

So is that pink box insulating the pipe so you dont have to insulate it w/ pipe wrap?

[NoL]

Sort of.
They're really won't be much piper wrap here.
By using this box though, not only are my heat exchangers nicely insulated, but they'res no real runs of cold pipe other then the direct suctions up from the compressors.
Also, the first heat exchanger is helping insulate the second, and never leaving the box means minimal heat losses.

i'd kill to have a cascade hehe

[NoL]

Anyone? That seems a fair trade.

[Buckeye]

Trade Dino for a Cascade ?

Naw, was thinking I've got a few enemies though.
