Basic And Not-So-Basic Phase Diagrams

Here's a little thread which will help those in need of a diagram.

I'm only going to label parts on some as it gets annoying, you should be able to figure them out after all!

Single Stage with Capillary Line

- 1x Compressor

- 1x Condenser

- 1x Filter/Drier

- 1x Capillary line

- 1x Evaporator

- 1x Flex line

Single Stage with SLHX

- 1x Compressor

- 1x Condenser

- 1x Filter/Drier

- 1x Capillary line

- 1x Evaporator

- 1x Flex line

- 1x Heat Exchanger placed on the suction line

A Basic Autocascade With Split Suction

- 1x Compressor

- 1x Condenser

- 1x Filter/Drier

- 2x Capillary line

- 1x Evaporator

- 1x Flex line

- 1x Phase Seperator

- 1x Heat Exchanger

A Very Advanced Autocascade with Double SLHX, Expansion tank, and Solid-Suction

- 1x Compressor

- 1x Condenser

- 1x Filter/Drier

- 3x Capillary line (3rd line connects Expansion tank to Suction)

- 1x Evaporator

- 1x Flex line

- 1x Phase Seperator

- 1x Heat Exchanger

- 2x Heat Exchanger placed on the suction line, before and after Phase Seperator

- 1x Expansion tank

Nice! i actually understand kinda how phase works lol

 

[Raven]

what is the difference between running with capillary line compared to slhx ?

 

[NoL]

An SLHX is a tricky animal, it changes charging as well as other factors in the system. It does overall help capacity, there is still capillary with an SLHX in that diagram.

Just curious, how much does a phase usually cost?

 

[NoL]

Well per unit its vastly different. Depends on heat load, temperatures required, 24/7 or benching, looks add cost, as well as things like how loud the unit is.

Its all very changing, parts can be a lot or a little.

Tools though are a few hundred dollars if not more.

You can think of each unit being around 48-72 hours of work if not alot more including things like pressure testing, triple evacuation, charging and tuning. Thats alot of labor time.

If your looking to purchase though, keep it to PM please.

alsome guild Nol, it helps .... alot .... i now know witch line is witch, YEA!

[Nagaru]

Thanks very informative and well done.

 

[glocktodahead]

Wow that's a lot of man hours. How many units have you built?

 

[NoL]

Alot. Rofl, mostly single stages or chillers due to lack of funding in every damn direction. Currently I have about 5 condensers (120mm sized), 2 larger alu/copper ones, 2x steel ones, bout 5 reciprocating and 6 rotary compressors in the workshop.

As I've said I'm almost always bored so I've built stuff, sold it, ebayd it, taken it back apart rebuilt it and so on and so forth.

 

[glocktodahead]

that actually is a cool idea, to build it and sell it on ebay. I've actually been bored lately so I think I am going to take my computer apart and put it back together again just for something to do.

 

[NoL]

The problem with ebay is you dont know if the seller knows a damn thing about it. Then they come back to you with problems. Also shipping can be a huge phase killer, cracks and such kill.

I prefer to only sell to people I know and know are able to use the unit correctly.

 

[Ham]

Nol, you mind if i use these in my porject?

 

[NoL]

LoL of course thats why I posted them. Good luck trying the autocascade pic's as the advanced one is what I'm building and I doubt I can tune it.

 

[Ham]

Wouldn't it be lovely if this was stickyed

 

[FragTek]

It is stickied, whatcha talkin' bout
