New evaporator coil set up

[globalcompressors]

Hi Guys!

  It's been awhile. I had to relocate my shop. Someone tryed to break in, again, and just didn't feel safe with the area any more. Been there the past 12 years. Anyway, needless to say, I've been super busy. Look, I think I've found a supplier who carries a wide variety of evaoprator coil set ups. Different sizes and shapes. The one he showed me looked almost like a small Vendo. I'm going to get a copy of the info. I will also speak with the mfg. and see about other types like for a Cavilier 72 or 96 etc. I may need some help from all of you with the various size measurements for what models and photos of the different machines. As you may or may not know, we can already produce a new universal lower compressor unit. This way, we can produce a complete refrigeration unit for those missing or for those in such bad shape they can't be used. I'll let you know!

P.S. My phone number will remain the same. The new address is 1414 S. Frazier #110, Conroe, TX. 77301. Jim, send the next bill there. Thanks

Hello Eric! I recieved the new cooling for the westinghouse WD-5. Looks fantastic! I'll drop you a line when I get it it all set. Thanks for working with me on this. I thought you were going to bail out for a second! '>

Hi Eric,

This is great news!! I need a complete system for a RT Vendo 56. All of the parts missing . Do you need a beta site :-) Thanks for the info.

Best regards,
Creighton

You're welcome! No, I'm not going to bail... I just had to move locations because of the decline of the area I had been in for the past 12 years. This is what has happened since Nov. 01, I was broken into and had over $8000.00 of computers, tools, welder etc. stolen. June 02, someone drove a car through the front of the building taking what was left, not much. Aug. 02 someone came over the rear fence and destroyed 40 Dixie Narco cooling units I had for cores to rebuild. They took the evaporator coils only, for the scrap value, about 20c lb. They cost me $600.00 plus the time to San Antonio to pick them up.
2 weeks later they came back and cut the chain off the gate. They did not get into the building this time. I called my wife and told her the problem and the next thing I knew, here she comes, with a 28ft bobtail truck, "we're moving, now!". I didn't argue. Nobody bothered us at all until last November. Once they found out what was going on, they kept coming back!  Anyway, the new location is much safer and I sleep better at night now. Everythings cool!

Creighton, as far as your unit, can you E-mail a couple of photos of the open cooling compartment. I need to see what you've got in the way of space and the mounting of what was in there. I'm sure I can come up with something.

Thanks to you both!
Eric

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply!! Per request here are some photos of the V-56. Best I can tell all of the orginal refrigeration equipment was just taken off and tossed :-(. First two pics are before I'd found a bottle rack. The dimensions of the base of the top compartment are 21"'x12". Please let me know what additional information is needed to assist with this project. Regret the cardboard temporary bottle shelf, but this is an ongoing project:-).

Best Regards,
Creighton

Creighton,

  On your machine, 2 things.  Frist, is there an indention in the bottom of the door, where the molding goes, around the area for the copper tubing and wiring on the right or left side? There should be 2 screw holes about 3 inches apart in the bottom front of the cooling floor where the door seal goes. Second, how deep from front to back? I'm guessing the evaporator coil was mounted on the right side. Let me know.

Eric,

Yes there is, the door tubing indention is on the right side looking at the back of the door. The tubing cover mounting holes are on the left side when facing the machine. 3 and 3/4 inches apart. The upper deck is 12" deep by 21" long.

The attached picture is what I believe is the correct installation for my machine. Based on screw holes in the upper deck. Evaporator coil on the left.

The square top V-56's seem to have the right mounted unit. This is what has kept me from just gutting one of those for parts.

Thanks,
Creighton

O.K. Buddy,

Let me see what I can do. I don't think it will be too hard.
Give me a little time and I'll get back to you next week.

Thanks for the photo of the complete machine. This really helps a bunch!

Eric
