There is a 2.7MB version, don't worry about the 18MB one.

It seems that BOC gases sell a lot of useful refrigeration equipment, they are nationwide

the best way to start phase changing is to get an old airconditioner and turn it into a chillier by putting the res into a esky and wolla. and i also used the 226w tec with me chiller.
