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

I got a little update for you guys. She just finished her sixth cycle since I got her yesterday. I'm gonna fire her up in a bit and let it run for a while. I haven't gone over about seven minutes so far. The lowest temps yet are -49c on the last cycle for just a second. She worked back down to -45c when the compressor got warmed up.

How hot is the compressor supposed to get? It gets hot to the touch after about 2 minutes right now. By hot I mean I have to move my hand after about 10 seconds.

That's pretty normal. On my original SS, 2 stager and 3 stager, you'd have blisters if you left your hand on there for 10 seconds.
