    This cooler was one of Australias first cabinet coolers.

    Can be used with coal out of a fire , line the inner wall
    with coals , wet them down , and sit your cooler in the
    breeze.

      Camping coolers use the same method today, with a water absorbent material on the outside covered with perforated aluminum and plastic inside,

      Good for keeping your beer cool Bruce.

    Hi Guys, still haven’t got back to this chiller. Waiting on parts.
    But I have another error on an identical model as above.
    E126 SPI

    Re: Best way to reach 450Psi for leak test?

    Yes I think it is feasible, but my main concern is to get an pressure test above the normal compressor ratio, for the read it is recommended to be 1.43

    Re: Best way to reach 450Psi for leak test?

    can you not feed in on the low pressure side and use the compressor to suck the OFN in and pressurise it?

    I did that once when I was running

    .

    As well as refrigeration I also dabble in diving, scuba diving.

    We use booster compressor's to increase O2 (oxygen) in
