i havent used the 150. i was using 2 standard mvp pumps linked to 1 heat exchanger pushing into 1 big ass recovery tank and i was hitting 2.5lbs per min consistantly
with iced.tek i could proabably double that number, my chiller would only reach -5c maybe, iced.tek is cryo
Any luck finding your stainless steel behemoth ?
not yet, working on getting a gps tracker and plan of approach for tagging this assholes car or a employees car and tracing to eugene
Is it louder than 1 trs tho?
The Trs have a higher pitched grinding sound . This MVP (the 150) is a low knocking sound.
Definitely louder than one trs
What about the basic 6 mvp? Louder then a tr?
Couldn’t tell you . I went straight to the 150.
I assume its same if not a little bit quieter
Same as the 150. It’s a mellow “knock knock knock knock knock knock” but is louder than a trs. A trs is just annoying
Icetech is not Cryo. MAYBE -80f on their best model.
I stand corrected. You are right, that is my bad
Although -80 is FUCKING COLD lol
Yea it is. I think my 2.5 hp gets around -40 I don’t really have a way to know for sure.
The regular mvps make a loud clank clank clank, pretty fucking loud, had to stick it in it’s own room, shit will drive you nuts if you listen to it for 12 hours, other than the noise it’s a solid pump.
How’s the iced tech
I finally upgraded to the mvp 150 as well any extra tips or things you learned along the way is greatly appreciated ! Just got everything all plumbed going to see how she runs
Just plugged mine in 2 days ago and holy shit they put in work! Just 1 MVP easily out runs 4 CMEPs. One thing I noticed, and it could just be me misusing it, is that they’re not that good at pushing/forcing it back into the solvent tank. I feel like the CMEP’s forced everything into the tank a lot easier. I had to let out the air pressure in my tank to help speed up the recovery of the leftover gas in the columns. Very odd. The CMEP’s would’ve forced that shit into my tank no problem.
But I gotta keep in mind these are assisting pumps. And I also bought mine used so idk. I’m overall very happy
To maximize the MVP performance, you have to maximize your vapor generation by increasing your kw of heating. You’ll be bottle necked by your heating kw and your cooling kw. The higher both are, the faster the pumps will work. Also, keep your tank pressure as low as possible to reduce stress on the pump because it the diaphragm pumps don’t handle back pressure like a piston pump.
Even at 5 psi recovery vessel pressure and TWO MVP 150’s . . . .still can’t fully push the compressed liquid into recovery vessel haha.
Send your recovery vessel vapor back through the recovery loop (sieve, pump, and condenser) to drop tank pressure quick.
mvp’s do not work well against head pressure like a cmep does. has anyone tried putting a cmep between the mvp and solvent tank to assist in fighting the head pressure?
