@ZeroFossilFuel true , but efficiant cells cant produce usable amounts of gas unless they weigh 300 pounds, i need 3 tp 15 lpm , so my cell gets warm, i use iron plates so they dont get near as hot as ss would,
Hey man!, yeh thats your condensing coil!, the black stuff, as ytmachx said, can be dissolved with solvents (try white gas or even unleaded gasoline) and it will wash all of the muck and residual oil out of the coil.
I do the same thing when I want to use one for water based applications. the compressor oil fouls things up.
That black stuff is common on the r134A systems and often plugs the dryer and inlet of the capillary tube. It seems that it is from the oil becoming contaminated with moisture. Just flush the coil with solvent and you're good to go.
@ytmachx thanks for the info, i was taught that that part of the device is what actualy liquifies the gas, any way i did an experiment and found that the gunk melted very easely and one may be able to fixed a inoperable unit by heating the capilary
Cooling a cell with heat exchangers is like putting a bandaid on a broken arm. Efficient cells do not create excess heat that needs to be drawn off.
IMHO.

That is the condenser coil which outputs to the capillary tube which regulates the flow of gas to the evaporator thus regulating temperature.

are you going to use that for something?
