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.

time to mount and rider


the SS that is ..........

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.

Good news. I just wanted to make sure it was operating normally. I didn't want to leave it on and burn the compressor up.

nothing to worry about Chuch, they should operate pretty warm, just try to keep the air flowing around it.

The condensor fan should exhaust over it ....
My recip gets pretty warm, but never has been so hot I could not rest my hand on it ???

I know the the rotaries get smokin hot ....

[Chuchnit]

Finally...... getting ready to prep up the OS's and try to get this thing mounted. Do you SS guys unmount everytime you turn it off?

[Witchdoctor]

Not me it is forever ..... Not sure if that is good, but I am lazy bastard ....

Chuchnit, I've left the cascade head on for a while now, about 8 startups/shutdowns without removing. Just need to insulate well.
