Picture of the donor unit. Crappy homemade SAE hose and tire gauge can been seen. Was desperate to play before my manifold set came.
How great is that... 3T single phase compressor and a coaxial condenser ready go. The wiring is a mess, but it all works.
A smart man would have just dragged the whole machine outside, gassed her up and start making heat. But I couldn't ignore Vlad's position on eBay TXVs.
Why bother with a cap tube when you can have a perfectly sized TXV for a reasonable price? The Sporlan literature is nicely laid out.
Considering I'll be on 290, I'm going to run the machine as an outdoor unit. All the controls, relays and contractors are going inside. No source of arc if I get a leak. The PLC will be doing all the smart work anyway.
