They keep repeating the same weak arguments over and over "you can't measure quick enough because the readings keep changing" that's because there aren't many arguments in favor. The app is practical and nice That's all there is to it.

I imagine this has been done somewhere already, but I think for applications such as a/c refrigerant lines the dust cap for the schraeder valves should be made of metal and designed to seal over top of the schraeder valve. The dust cap then becomes a back-up seal in case the schraeder valve leaks.

@@TheChuDragon Turbulators are devices that enhance heat transfer in heat exchangers by disrupting the flow of fluids or gases. They are a cost-effective and uncomplicated way to improve heat transfer. Turbulators are inserted into the tube side of heat exchangers and work by: Increasing surface area Turbulators increase the surface area in contact with the fluid, which promotes more uniform heat distribution. Disrupting laminar flow Turbulators disrupt laminar flow, which is when the flow of the fluid is smooth and parallel. Pushing gasses toward the tube walls Turbulators enhance heat transfer efficiency. There are several types of turbulators, including: Ball turbulators: Small balls that increase velocity by reducing volume Coiled turbulators: Spiral-shaped devices that generate a wave-like motion to direct fluid energy up and down Twisted tape turbulators: A single, flat metal sheet in a helical shape The amount of turbulence required depends on the desired outcome.

@measureQuick that makes sense. But I think you're missing the point. Now I now turbulators cause turbulence which increase the efficiency of heat transfer. Like stirring a pot or something. The point is most people aren't smart enough to understand that even. Make a small dumbed down explanation for what's happening and why. Using professional lingo is an easy way to alienate people. Thanks for explaining it to me though.

Pulled a vacuum on my 10 year old, 3 ton Goodman split system. Appion core removal tools and 2 half inch hoses hooked up to a Navac 7 cf, pump performed nicely. The Blu Vac gauge and app displayed 300 microns. But, the decay test failed. Repeated pull and test a few times. It showed some improvements but still about 1200 micron. Will proceed and apply some heat to the compressor. Is it advisable to run some nitrogen thru the system? Any suggestions?

@@horsth9566 you can try nitrogen, but it is likely wet. Replace the dryer, install a moisture indicator and get it to hold below 1000 microns and let the dryer do the rest. Check it in a week or so and verify the system is dry.

I truly believe this is the tip of the iceberg. For too long distributors have accepted warranty claims from dealers and issue a credit only to find out the motor or part was just fine. I like the idea of rewarding the dealers that are doing proper commissioning by possibly giving them an extended labor warranty at no charge, or charge them less for the equipment. Great to see this conversation!

Utilize the new mQ NCI Quick Test (AirMaxx with TrueFlow) and measure the total flow and static pressure of the system BEFORE you sell the job. That test in mQ takes about 10min and is easily done and clearly communicates and PROVES whether that duct system can actually work.

Have you ever thought of giving a class using Measure quick for the contractors and installers. They never even heard of it. How times have changed. I told him this app will change the industry . I always ask every contractor , installer I meet do you use Measure Quick and I still cannot believe how many have not even heard of it yet. it’s like they’re trapped in their own little time capsule separated from the world lost in time.

Water will reach a pressure tempature it stops evaporating / boiling. This is why the micron guage stops rising below 2000 µm If there is a leak in the system it will rise to very near atmospheric pressure If we are serving an existing system the refrigerant in the oil will make it look like a leak. It is likely refrigerant boiling off in the compressor and accumulator. Given enough time the pressure may rise to a positive pressure in that case. This is why pressure testing is very important on existing systems. When servicing an existing system It may more than an hour to get a system pulled down to 1000 µm. Don't know if Jim agrees but I will sometimes call it at 1000 µm, I'm well below 1500 µm so I have most likely removed most of the non-condenseables and the constant flow of refrigerant towards the vacuum pump should have removed most of the moisture. If an existing system will fall down to 300 µm or so I will let it ride till it hits a plateau.

I've had to do this many times. It WORKS! BUT, Your screen shows the vacuum above 500 microns. I would NEVER release my refrigerant there! I always pull my vacuum well below 200 before my decay test. Just did one today, walked away for 1/2 hour, and it was down to 65 microns! Then stabilized at 120, BETTER THAN PERFECT! (Appion set up) Another observation... You CAN NOT get a true isolation and you will not get a true reading with your micrometer on your pump! It should be isolated on the system only.

It depends on what is going on. That's why it is important to have the tools and technology to get a better scoop on what is actually happening. I.e if you are running a vacuum and going just of a time lapse and not reading microns.... you might have gotten nowhere near those micron levels that you want. But yes, the "triple vacuum" method works and it is a good way to break moisture as it starts to build up. Sometimes you might not needed. It depends on the system type. Over the years I have learned that on a Central System install the way that we do it. We can pull a deep vacuum really fast and holds the decay test. But, same installation practices and vacuum set-up, on a Minisplit system... different story! I hope this helps...
