    Small compressor maximum case temps rule of thumb?

    Hi, As a rule of thumb, what are maximum case temperatures of small compressors? Stat cooled in particular. Is it worthwhile to make a distinction between the "average" temperature of the housing and the peak temperatures of the housing immediately adjacent to the HP line? My reasons for...

    "Single-Line" coldfinger evaporator connection?

    Hi, I have a "coldfinger" unit consisting of a compressor joined to a flatish-tube spiral coldfinger by a flexible line. What's a bit strange to me is that in this unit and in similar units I've seen, it appears as if there is a single line to the coldfinger. I've considered the possibility...

    Now how about -60C single stage from approx. 35C

    Hi, Anyone know off hand the complement of components used in modern single-stage freeze dryer and vacuum trap type units? What is the preferred refrigerant and oil complement? Are "special" compressors needed? I have older units that achieve -60C quite easily air-cooled at "room" temperatures...
