Took the time to put it all together today. I am VERY pleased. I am getting 20 to 21 degrees increase over the new design. I charged the unit using amp draw mostly as my guide as my first attempt went off the charts and actually overloaded the compressor. Not used to r-290a pressures - but now it seems to be running perfectly - with 225 psi High-side / 20 psi low side and still putting out 52 degree DA at the evaporator - kind of strange to me but hey, it's working at 4.5 amps. I am soooo psyched. 3rd time is a charm

Thanks to all for the input over the course of this experiment.
