well i did reduce the capillary lengh.refridgerant charge is set to keep a soild liquid flow to capillary tubes no more no less.i use a sight glass mounted 1 inch over the lowest point before going into the drier.this asures me of a good steady flow.capillary tubes are then doing what they are suposed to be doing.giving a mesured amount of refridgerant flow into my evaperators (cpu and chiller)since mine unit has 2 evaperators it can be vey tricky getting the right flow to get me the temps i want.this is a problem that does fully load the 1/3 hp compressor i am running.and because i have loaded it so i gained some pressure at suction side of compressor but i ran lower temps in testing weeks ago with a vacumm ,and didnt get the loaded temps i wanted.unloaded temps were -60f but that didnt cool the 80watt pelt too good.so now i run a 80watt pelt for testing and work from that i can keep it at -29c and chiller is going down too -17c (nothing in loop yet) in a hour . i got it right now but i still am testing and adjusting.

p.s i am working on a mouting system right now also.i have hand made a evaperator block inclosure cell.to hopefully make it easyer to control the condensation easer
