My 3 stage cascade design - what you think??
Hey all. I've been absorbing all the info I can from this forum and from the overclockers at xtremeSystems.org and created this PFD for a 3 stage cascade.
We have a decent budget so I will use professionally built heat exchangers and have thermocouples and pressure transducers everywhere. We have LabView hardware for controls.
The purpose of this thing is to provide 200-500 watts of cooling below -125 C for a new CO2 capturing technology we are developing. The full scale system on power plants won't use this cascade, but I need something to achieve these low temperatures for our laboratory tests. (I've looked at Polycold units but they didn't offer any guarantees that it could handle the loads I want.)
Please review and provide any feedback you have. I still have a long way to go!
