Good idea! My clean sheet of paper system uses 10" Schedule 10 for the pot, to maximize surface area to depth ratio.
My lower plate is machined to accept an O-ring, which the schedule 10 pipe seals against, with clamps holding it in place.
It also has a 4" section of 10" Schedule 10 welded on the bottom of the plate, into which a heating element fits.
The top plate is also machined for an o-ring and is held in place with C-clamps.
Besides the center port in the top plate, I have five other ports, so that each valve has its own port. That provides room for explosion proof Asco valves, that can be run with a PLC logic controller.[/QUOT
A bit confused by this. So for your new setup you have gotten rid of the paint pressure pot and constructed your own?
Thanks for all your help. Already owning a tamisium and see the benefits to your system, I would also like to manufacture one.

[/QUOTE said:I continue to use the paint pot in my test sled, as it works well, but when designing units from a clean sheet of paper, it is cheaper to build the collection pot than purchase a stainless pot. Otherwise, I would continue to use a paint pot.

Are you "chunder of love" sebastian from youtube? If not, please ignore.
Nope not me...with the proper fiitings could I use the recovery pump with the tamisium while I waiting on parts.
Why not just weld the lower plate to the bottom, instead of paying for a groove to be machined?
I lied!
It looks like welding is the better solution, especially given that we are heating the bottom, which is hard on O-rings and using an O-ring requires that we use a thicker bottom plate, which weighs about 16 pounds more.
I will post my new design when it is finished.
I was also reading about heat and viton o-rings. It appears that they 're temp range is -15ºF to 400ºF. I know you're heating it up a bit, but 400ºF seems a little much. What would the temperature of the bottom plate be, at it's warmest?
Jeez, I wish I hadn't bought that extra flange set now. Another $150 in the hole for nothing. Whatever, I can save it for the next build, or continue with the o-ring plan on the bottom because I really don't think it will be even remotely near 400ºF, or even half that.
P.S. Flare to NPT anyone?
Everything made sense until you mentioned "Schrader valves". Where do you use them, and why?NPT to flare, describes all of the various sized hose fittings that I use. I buy them at the local refrigeration supply store, to get those also threaded for Schrader valves.

Also, how do you purge off non-compressible gasses using the in-line valve on the vapor return line (going to refrigerant cylinder)? Do you disconnect it from the recovery machine first? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question to you.
dream of the day!
:-}
I get to (finally) pick up the rest of my "dream" from the machinist today, and then straight to the welder's.
:party0044:
Here's a preview of my new "dream"...
Will be doing some pressure/vac testing tomorrow, then, some "real world" testing...
Then, I'm gonna start my own thread, and give all praise and glory to GRAYWOLF!

Got my old laptop cooking again, so I have Auto Cad 2002 LT functioning once more. In detailing the parts for the lower container, I looks like welding is the better solution, especially given that we are heating the bottom, which is hard on O-rings and using an O-ring requires that we use a thicker bottom plate, which weighs about 16 pounds more.
I will post my new design when it is finished.
would you be willing to share the new cad design that you mentioned in your post?
anything you can share would be REALLY appreciated!!!
