Warm stage circuit (front) DISCHARGE: (red) ¼” tube X 52” long Q3: is two loops sufficient for vibration control? SUCTION: (purple) 3/8” tube X 92” long Q1: is two loops OK for vibration control? Q2: is 5/16” tube an option?
Warm stage circuit (left) Schrader access valve SAE ¼” flare (discharge side) Q4: Is this style of valve OK on the discharge circuit? Shut-off/access valve (packed) with SAE 3/8” flare port. Henry 7763-B valve or equivalent. Q7: Is this an acceptable style of valve? Q8: Is this location acceptable?.042” capillary tube 90” long This feature is copied from pictures of Scientemp equipment. Q5: Is it an expansion chamber or Filter dryer? Q6: If a filter dryer, is 100 mesh size to be used? Filter dryer to keep capillary tube clear (drawn as 1” X 6” size) Q9: Is 100 mesh size good to use? Q10: Is the size (volume) acceptable Q11: does filter dryer need to be vertical or is about 30deg OK?
