    Re: Have a look at this

    Saw one, or one just like it, at the college recently when I took my C+G Safe Handling course.

    I think the distance might be a problem for us Peter as it is for 'local' pickup only; still nice toy...

    Re: Have a look at this

    Has anybody ever thought of making there own using clear flexi pipe?
    I always thought that would be really interesting , and then you could make faults on it like switching off the cond fan or evap fan, and see how the gas/liquid moves around.

    Re: Have a look at this

    I think RPW had a " wicked" one on display at RAC 2002.....
    I wonder what they did with it??

    Yes , it had clear plastic tube

    And u can make one up yourself using a decent quality clear tube, use " heat seal stick" to make the joins airtight.......

    Apparently it didn't leak....

    Thats a nice bedtime story, PVC can not hold discharge pressure.

    Maybe it was a steel pipe PVC coated?

    Re: Have a look at this

    I thought it was R11 to avoid excessive pressures.

    Chemi.

    Spoke to sales rep today.System was not an airconditioning system, it was running the refrigeration at a pub.

    He seems to think that it was running on r12 or a drop in.

    Wasn't sure about the liquid line, but he tells me that the suction line was definetly PVC tube.

    He said that he is going to Tasmania in the next month and if he gets a chance he will take a picture of it.

    I teach students on some training bench made by ElettronicaVeneta , one bench have transparent tubes , not sure of what it's made of, to make the students see the refrigerant states in both evaporator and condenser.
    You can see it with it's specification on :
    www.chochieh.com.tw/edu_equipment/aircon/rct.htm
    Or you can ownload the pdf file for all the ElettronicaVeneta products :

    Engineering, sciences, math, physics and my brain will generate "not responding " soon
