Buying an evaporator

tjh566 · Nov 13, 2007

I was kinda looking for a the baker block, but all the links I find are dead.. any word on this?

I looking for a good evap, brazed up, ready to go, pressure tested, I found a nice one: http://www.under-the-ice.com/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=115

but $200 is alot to part with, just wanted to know what else was out there.

Cryostar is the latest in greatest, and onlyif you want something prebrazed.
Anything else you'll have to have payed brazed up.

And if you are planning on doing it yourself and you've never done it before, count on the possibility of messing up a few chilly1's anyway, so it's $$ no matter how you slice it.

so just drop the $200 and be done with it?

and what happend to the baker block.. still avail?

Nah bakers gone.

You can easily braze a chilly1 block by yourself, just practice brazing other things first. Really isn't that hard to braze an evap, just requires lots of heat to get the entire block glowing cherry red and then careful application of the rod plus a shielding gas to keep the interior clean. Sent you a PM with some more details.

Ever consider a cap in cap?

Honestly a cap in cap evap is not worth the time and trouble. They are a good experience for learning how to braze but they really hold loads badly and just don't make good evaps.

$200 evap unless made in silver is too pricey for DIY project no matter how I see it.
While performance is great, I am quite positive that some evaps in Europe (eleven's in particular) can match that.
