a/c unit

[XeonStrikeForce]

Well thats the trueth of it. Having your lungs melt can realy suck!

http://www.refrigerationbasics.com/1024x768/rb1.htm < Start here. Read the site 5000 times untill you know and understand in your own way every bit of info they gave.

After reading that site you should know all the basic parts you need to make a system, and then we can get into detail. Right now though your trying to build a roof with out the walls in place!

yea thats kinda how i learn (yes i know read the site) lol

Well read it again, you had to ask for the perpos of a cap tube!

FYI Dying from air embolism is right at the top of suckiest ways to die along with having lungs melted out just two of the fun verry real risks.

ACs I have seen with near 300PSI static charge in them! It only takes 100 to give a gas embolism.

This is my falt.. I misread the OP and thought he was asking about building a direct die unit (misread the tubing and block part, for some reason I was thinking copper and DD evap)

If your intrested in doing a fender-bender chiller, the thread I posted earlier has most all the info you would need http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=470022
If you still have questions about doing that, then post away.

well i read the whole thing and i dont see anything about a cap tube. Is it used in chillers?

Well you need to read more in general not just the same thing, as you clearly don't understand the concept. You need a metering device, weather its a cap line or a valve or something else it all works. How well and what the difference is and what you should use is a long topic which you should understand fully.

Go check out xtremesystems.org forums, I guarantee all the questions you have have been answered there in the phase change and chiller sections many time over. There is a few weeks worth of reading you should do lol and observing on what other people are doing, why they are doing what they are doing and so on. I linked it above but I'll link it again.


Chilled Liquid Cooling

Vapor Phase Change Cooling


If you don't feel you want to commit to some serious education then maybe the better way for you to go would be to just make a rez around an window ac evap, fill it with coolant and have yourself a quick and easy chiller.

Stay safe and good luck.

The link I gave you had nothing to do with how a phase change loop works or what any of the components in it are or do, for that look up there at Xeon's link, mine was just a worklog on converting that air conditioner into a fender bender chiller.

If your really intrested in what a captube does and what it is.. http://www.refrigerationbasics.com/1024x768/rb1.htm
But it doesn't seem like you are intrested really, the worklog has the info you need.

is that the same as a capillary line?

 

[greenmaji]

Yes, cap tube is short for capilary tube or line its also a metering divice.
And evap is short for evaporator.

 

[aMp^FL]

cuz i know what the cap line was i just didnt know it was called a cap tube lol

 

[greenmaji]

Asking if a cap tube is a capulary line is alot better then saying "what does a cap tube do?"

Any other questions that sound like you have done some reading and are just tripped up on something will get an approprate resonce
