GW, that thing is a piece of art!! You practically need a PhD in closed loop systems to even appreciate that fully haha

Yeah I thought it was the water trap sieve drier when I saw it but was unsure too.

Can we get another video that's like 3 times longer and slower, I wanna scope that beauty more!

Waywardwolf took the video with his phone, but we do plan better pictures on the next. I will get my flash repaired/replaced and we will also break out the video camera.

Mad Shatter has already been delivered around two hours drive from here, but "Beast" SN-00010 is right behind her, and we will endeavor to get better stills and if we do a custom install, a video of her strutting and purring.

Well done GW and wayward! Shes a beaut for sure. Love the Haskel mod. I'm jealous :)

Thanks for the good thoughts brother PC! Easier from my design standpoint, with Waywardwolf actually building all the purdy stuff!

Hee, hee, hee, the Haskel's sure make it seem easy for sure! Especially set up switchable from single to double.

The third valve in the pump photo, is a provision to use the Haskel to pump to an axillary cylinder, while scavenging the circuit between the pump discharge and the storage tank.

Hey GW, any chance on getting the model # of that sight glass? I tried ordering from them but when I contacted the company trying to find a suitable SG they deduced from my requirements what it was for and shut me down.

My new CMEP OL is set to arrive at any moment...literally! I can't wait to set this up and get it running.

Just got back from a Nevada 420 weekend and will follow up today to find out how the CM EP OL performed and stood up in production and compared speed wise. We should have runs against other pumps and two weeks of riding it hard and putting it away wet.

Carla says the average recovery rate for the CM EP OL in production, was approximately 30% faster than her dual TR-21's with dual IC-69 style heat exchangers.

The CM EP OL was also plumbed with dual IC-69 style heat exchangers, and of course already has its own heat exchanger.

As I filed off the sharp edges left from blanking and forming the cover, there were no more cuts, and the machine ran as directed, with no issues.

We've returned the machine from the So O triangle to Portland, to yet another production facility, where we continue to run it in production, and where I can more closely monitor it and gather critical information. More once we get more hours on it and pass it through more hands with extensive extraction experience.

Well now, thangs are looking up! Besides the CM EP OL currently under test, we now have a serious top line US manufacturer interested in supplying pumps to our market.

Skunk Pharm Research previously met with them and shared the technical requirements for our application, and they just confirmed that they have a pump that will ostensibly meet those requirements and are mounting it to a test sled to confirm that and for us'n to thrash. More information, and I will reveal their name if it passes the factory tests and we'ns get one in our hands to put a few hard laps on.

So far no information about pricing and delivery, but hot damn I'm starting to get a wet leg with where solid pump availability seems to be headed. Hee, hee, hee, snicker, snark, snort, awhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
