Wow, your hands-on refrigeration experience is really great, just what we need here.
I think the the 'Great Metering Valve in the Sky' must have sent you to us!

Indeed! There's that mantra again, "
Insulate, Insulate, Insulate."

This would be a really good topic to expand on and to show pictures or even hand-drawn diagrams if you don't have the photos. I know that being able to build their own heat exchangers would be really very useful for home builders. For one thing Brazed Plate HXs can be expensive, and also there are conditions where BPHX isn't such a good alternative, like if there is an open source situation and fouling could be an issue. The BPHXs have such narrow passage ways that they can get clogged.
So your mistakes would be very useful here, to help folks estimate heat output.
