Oh I see, I thought the stages were numbred from the coldest to the hottest.

The 1st is the "warmest". It condenses the second, the second condenses the third.
The first deals with the heatload as its passed down, but if it collapses so will the second and third.

Everything moved over, so time to start laying out parts.
Might have a lead on the condenser I'd like for this, so the front is a little empty.
Compressors that seem "used" are working pulls from my own personal cascade that well, I built and never got around to finishing. So they're brand new still.

Layout time.

Brazed the first suction stem on compressor numero uno. It's nice to do them like this, since they'll shoot straight up to the heat exchanger coils. Nice and easy to insulate.

Heat exchanger time.
You can never have enough copper.

I'm taking notes

Making some fitting attachments.
Cleaned and shined;

Survey says...
OIL SEPARATORS!

Wait what? howcome you need oil separators? I thought there was one type of oil.

As always, good work! If I only had the money for a nice phase setup...

With most cascade systems, your evaporator temperatures can be in the sub -90C range.
At these temperatures the oil/refrigerant mix in a system CAN and DOES freeze.
So also to maximize heat exchange, the oil is removed from the flow before the heat exchanger stack.

You've got a nicer rig then me :P
