Progress has been made!
So I started just loose fitting things. First the discharge on the compressor to the intake on the oil sep, not the best idea I know, see below. -1/2"-
And the discharge of the oil sep into the reversing valve -1/2"-
.
I knew the discharge from the compressor would have too much vibration to have a straight run to the oi sep, so I fixed it with a big loop.
The evap(now the condenser) had 2 cap tubes, so 2 intakes, I saved the cap tube and brazed some 1/4" onto them.
Then I ran the 1/2" from one side of the discharge of the reversing valve to the 2 1/4" intakes on the condenser.
The 2 1/4" tubes fit perfectly inside the 1/2". BEFORE
Brazed thoroughly. DURING
I was going to clean it up and take another picture, but I decided to move it into place first, and of course picked up the still super hot 1/2" line...... needless to say I am pecking with 2 fingers in between icing the burns in between typing...
Any way, next question, how much oil do I add and do I add it to the oil sep or the compressor? All to poe was drained. I have been looking for a while for the answer, still searching now.
Also I'm think 1/4" is to large for oil return. Would 1/8" be better?
