I’ve seen over a half dozen failures from co2 cooling imploding columns.
This is on schedule 40 steel not the thin stuff
Curves and cold and steel don’t mix well
Add pressure and you get a recipe for a catastrophic failure.
But you do you.

The jacketed columns are 6mm thick, not saying it’s impossible for an implosion to occur but it is highly unlikely.
Also Co2 is 0.50 per pound for me, not that expensive considering the value of the material coming out of the machine. Has your chiller ever let you down ?
Or are you suggesting that Bizzybee engineers don’t know what they are doing ?

It strikes me that the innovation on volume is lacking there are several used cascade freezing compressor for sale and any Havac expert Orr Alfa laval will custom make you a heat exchanger first the task at a lot less than what Huber charges and a lot bigger
The temperature control precision a Huber offers is not of much use in our field

Power over precision all day long
Could care less if it’s -79.9 or -80

I’d agree up to a point, there’d be a big problem if there was ≥ 10° variation though

I second this. I have one cooling my 915, as well. The other option is to strap on a cs200 to the 915. And that one will need to be outside. The taeevo runs smooth af all day long at 45f helping my 915 stay @ -70c

Again. The only ones that fail, are operator error.
Well, that is the thin stuff, actually. On a 6" pipe, schedule 40 is only 4mm. On the 6" columns for lc02. It is 6mm thick. You’re wrong on this one, you can stop saying things that are false. Or at least show evidence of your claims, because they aren’t all over the internet.

Most of these beast run at bp of refrigerant
Either on or off pid controled
At bp they are very stable wich temp you want anyway
ive personally see 3 of the “thicker” bzb columns after implode. these were all sent out after issues with the 3-4 mm stuff
1 in front of my face in norcal
another one from ironfist that was schedule 40 on an 8" pipe
and 1-2 others online in pics
i imploded a ton of dewax vessels from a company i was working for with just dry ice and vac
steel doesn’t like to be hella cold and curved
you are smart guy when it comes to this stuff and i respect your opinion, but there’s what i know i feel safe doing then there is what i know i feel safe having hourly paid lab techs do.
chiller has always been a no brainer just like glycol

its always been so crazy to me that chillers need chillers
like they cant just package it together

It’s the same as companies selling undersized vacuum pumps on distillation packages.
It’s to get the customer in the door and make a sale that the customer has no other choice but to spend more money to get it to run right….
Upsell, upsell, upsell

I’m sure it works flawlessly

I’d love to see the columns meant for lc02 crushed, just cause it’s nice to know. 100% of the cases I’ve ever been showed, was operator error using lc02 on a column not rated. All the pictures I’ve seen on the interwebs, were all the wrong setups being used. As far as anyone else doing it. Ya anything not thick enough, it’s going to. If you shut the valves to the jackets they’ll easily implode. An 8" column, that’s all on the genius who tried to get that to work. I don’t doubt that they can fail. But, I haven’t seen a single one rated for lc02 imploding. I would just like to see it.

They do put out a fuck ton (new unit of measurement) of heat. Just a big ass air conditioner. The cs200 is better to put outside cause it puts out so much. A lot of these places are along rivers and just feed that water in and back out with their contaminated waste back into the water stream. I have seen a couple companies that have it all built in and I even think they used the heat to out put for a hot temperature process. This thing was almost the size of a shipping container though. You could actually walk around inside the huge bitch, chit was crazy

I know a photographer dude who was showing me how much more regular industries get charged for A/V work and how little the cannabis industry pays. Dumb asses will charge $5-600 a day for video work, including editing. And now fucking up the standard when they aren’t even that good at what they do. When I know people who charge more than that per hour, that’s just to capture the footage and not even post edit.
And the whole industry pays ten times the price for things just because of the green tax. But they also underdog industries that are worth far more than what they pay at the same time.
My buddy Dan and I did this one back in the day. This would have been a 30-40k music video. The cannabis industry would have done lt for like 5k.

Yeah if I wanted one of the good weed photographers to shoot some buds for me it would be a few thousand
I’m sure professional product shoot people charge in the 10s of thousands for promo work

What’s strange about that is, even some of these big name guys shooting for some of the biggest bad asses out there. Can’t even photoshop decent. Let alone edit a cut point on a beat. So many of these videos are edited so poorly it drives me crazy. I did a little bit of video editing like 15+ years ago.

Thanks for all the info.
We decided to put the cs200 on our falling film for recovery in hopes of it beasting the hell out. I may end up switching it though and let the cs100 do the recovery and let the cs 200 chill the huber.
Do you recommend putting the cs200 outside due to the heat it puts out?
