Will nitrogen compress butane gas into a liquid or just push liquid?

No you should have a prv installed on you tank.

and have it recertified on a regular basis…??

you can have remaining solvent in your column even after pushing w n2

once the material becomes saturated then you have to wait for it to thaw or warm up to release it

Thinking I might just try to get everything colder and push with butane vapors the next time I get something to run . I used to have no issues in the winter but I started packing my crc more and that mixed with these summer days are fucking it up I’m sure

I remember when someone mentioned how your collection was undersized in comparison to your column. Are you still running the wind chime??
That’s probably your problem

that giant one was a built I did for my neighbor . He has a big refrigerant recovery tank that he runs with it . Was just using my little tanks to test it out

Think it’s safe to say this dude is gonna have a hard time here, nobody is gonna let go of the wind chime death “masheen” he made. :rofl:

Yes with pressure you can keep a gas in phase above condensing temperatures, this is middleschool Chem guys…

And yes the pressure would be above what most standard fair diameter tri clamps could hold. So it would not be a “smert” experiment, unless properly tooled.

I figured 65 ish psi would plenty enough to do it because that’s what the gauge reads on my tanks when they are completely warm . So I was thinking it took 65 max psi to condense the butane at my warmest temps . But I guess that’s not how it works? Thanks for the input

Thats partial pressure of single gas, you have to account for the N2 you’re adding as well to keep your gas condensed.

Of course all of this depends on application. But say you pressurize a tank, amd add butane back in at vapor, it condenses due to pressure, tank pressure is going to be equal to the starting pressure, plus whatever pressure is added per certain volume of butane. Your pressures would look similar to a solvent tank you do a N2 bump on, pressures can exceed 150+ if left unattended, or you don’t bleed off the N2 as the solvent is recondensed.

I’m sure you could condense it and burp off, but that would be some cousin Clem level asinine s*** right there.

44North: you built a “giant one” for your neighbor?

ASME stamped and rated?

Thanks! I appreciate the explanation :pray:. I think I’m definitely gonna just try to get everything colder and push with butane vapors . I have prvs on everything but I’m trying to make it as idiot proof as possible regardless

Hmm…indeed. and beyond.
“The Beans of Egypt Maine”…short book…
you’ll love it…may provide an explanation …

thanks…

No it’s run at relatively low pressure . All prvs are set to 65. He was trying to build his own but didn’t no exactly what parts he needed so I just ordered the parts , pieced them together and pressure tested it for him . Just posted on here to piss some people off and possibly get some productive feed back ( people here give out the most info when there mad at you )

He spent like 3 grandish total on it , ASME certs are like 40-50

116

The beans of Egypt Maine ? Lol

That’s not nice

119

way to low… I’d have it btw 100-125psi a full tank on hot day easily sees 90psi

I think there is an example of what some would refer to as
the “rugged individualism” combined with the “Olde Yankee Spirit”
exhibited in your posts.
