Good video. Any chance you can update the video with R8 insulation? As of Oct 2024, Home Depot sells the same R6 6" MasterFlow 5' sleeve for ~$18, but also an R-8 version for ~$22. Curious if that would be worth it. 25% higher R-factor, for 22% higher cost, so at least there isn't an high cost premium for. Any thoughts on duct wrap vs duct sleeves? The R6 sleeve works out to be about $3.60/ft. The duct wrap about $2.70/ft. 90c/ft difference. But I'm sure the wrap is a LOT more labor.
@stem_saving1644 17 күн бұрын
Thanks. I appreciate it. If they had R8, I would have bought that. The cost difference is minimal when compared to rising energy rates. The other thought was to wrap with 2x4 cavity insulation (paper backed) and cut it into pieces. Would need to have a good tape to keep it secure, like 3m 8067. Something that's super sticky and will hold tight with temp swings Duct sleeves can be pulled over the duct if you have access to an open end. Just put a plastic bag over it so it doesn't snag the insulation. I haven't used the wrap, so I can't really say. But I'm of the mind if it saves money in the long run.... it's worth it.
@jwhite4 17 күн бұрын
@@stem_saving1644 The sleeve is probably better if it's a new install, or as you say, you have access to an open end. [And I'd assume not hung with rigid hangers; that would prevent sliding them around.] I used the wrap before. But it looks like I used the wrong type. I used "duct insulation", which is 15' long, but only 12" wide. So I had to wrap the duct in 12" segments (like stacking rings). The 'duct wrap" is 24" long, so you can wrap it around the entire duct at once, and just use one tape seem to join it. Much better!

I think this film is a perfect example of misaligned expectations. You are right on the air heating from the film by convection. Thats to be expected. Were you are wrong though is you dont count the fact that when glass warms up it gives away heat both ways.. Inside and outside. So likely amount of heat comming into the room is less... However, if you have double layered windows the heat is getting in between glass and have nowhere to go.... So in essence, you will still see slight improvement just not as much as you hoped for. Corrext way to go is probably to go external
@stem_saving1644 24 күн бұрын
Glass transfers radiant energy. The heat generated by the film is thermal energy. Double pane glass has a void filled with argon gas, which doesn't transfer heat well. So, most heat is transferred inside. I will agree about managed expectations....I expected the films to reject what the label says, and they didn't.

I have just moved in into my new house with large south side windows. I underestimated how big of an issue sun will be. Started looking for solution and came across sun films... Took me more or less an hour on YT to get to know that internal film + double layered windows is not a good combo.... And btw. My windows are triple layered.... :) In Europe it is now basically mandatory to install triple layered to meet heat consumption norms for the house required for the building permit ... So yeah. I have to go with external. And thank god I prepped pipes in my house for for 7 AC units

I have installed window films, I could feel very noticeable temperature drop in the room. I think although some radiants turned into heat, on the glass and ultimately will heat up the room, it also reflected quite a lot back to the air. Because you can see clearly mirror image from outside the window, which proves it reflects light back.

Try measuring the temp of all the surfaces inside the room. Everything becomes a radiant heater. If the temp of all the surfaces in the room are reduced significantly, with the window being hotter there maybe a differential since the btus were rejected. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGqmdJmjpMSWn9ksi=6x0MPHoS9TH6Tow0

July 2024. We live in SoCal Desert. Using AC at 77° for 8 hrs (11am to 7pm during summer) total house consumption is 44kWh. Increasing degrees to 80° consumption is 30kWh. Utility Co charges $0.38 per KWh. Basically $17 per day ($510 monthly) vs $12 per day ($360 monthly). All rough estimates. I do use a swamp cooler for the night (running electricity consumption already accounted for in these numbers). I also have an old AC unit. I want to test this also to add to our savings.

@stem_saving1644 im stoked you had a good run there are always outliers in any statistical system. I think your vastly over simplifying the situation. Your correct aluminum is used for its corrosion resistance properties. The oxide layer formed by aluminium lends pretty heavily to its continued corrosion resistance by atmospheric sources. But that's not all your going to be facing. There is galvanic corrosion anywhere dissimilar materials meet, in the case you hook one of these up to tap water your facing a whole new set of corrosive stresses including chlorine, sulfer, fluoride, iron calcium etc. Which will factor into not just corrosion but build up on the radiator causing thermal transmission to drop. Rain water is going to be relatively clear of the chlorine and fluoride additives but is subject to any atmospheric pollution. And water from the condensate drain would be subject to any pollution from the system upstream of your collection point. So air pollution in your home plus any corrosion upstream in your system, rusty drain, corrosion in copper etc. I want to be clear there definitely steps you could take to mitigate these factors and if your helping an older system hang on a few yrs before you replace the system is effective.

You are not using your thermometer and thermal camera in the right ways. Infrared is still light, so you are not measuring what you think you are measuring when you point your instruments at transparent and/or reflective surfaces like films and windows. There is also the emissivity of each surface to consider when trying to use these tools. It gets very complex. Instead, do it easier and with thermometers: install the film on one of your windows in a ventilated room with some air circulation, like a fan. Take two of something that absorbs light well, like an unglazed terracotta pot or a black plastic planter. Fill the pots with the same temperature water, place one on each windowsill, then measure at intervals with the same thermometer. Such a setup will be more analogous to relative real world results with the film, and circumvent some of your measurement problems.
@stem_saving1644 3 ай бұрын
There aren't any problems, it's simple physics... simply look at the temp of shades down. Around 100F. That implies behind the shade is even hotter. Which follows logically what the temp and imager are measuring. When you put your hand on the film you can feel the difference. Sure your can do all the things you suggested, but why if the tools I have can do the same job without all the hassle with trying to conduct a science experiment?

@@stem_saving1644 I am trying to gently tell you that there are problems with how you are using your tools. I can lead you to the river, not force you to drink. But I urge you to on your own time and from sources you trust look into emissivity and reflectivity, which affects the readings from both your thermal camera and your infrared thermometer. Look into the Fluke 62 MAX infrared thermometer, similar form factor to your Ryobi. The Fluke has a setting for emissivity from 0.1 to 1. What does changing that setting do to the measurements from the Fluke? Why do they even have such a setting? Like you say yourself, you are not conducting a science experiment, but replacing the hassle of doing one with what you read on the displays of your tools. But what if those readings are incorrect, then where does that leave your video? And as I believe you will discover if you decide to look into it, they are incorrect. Do the science experiment please. It's very little hassle, literally two pots and a thermometer. Science is not about being sure, it is about making sure. Your results should only be confirmed with an experiment measuring the same thing in a different way. In this case however, I do not believe you will be able to replicate the results you show in this video if you choose to explore this from the two pots and a thermometer angle.

I live in Arizona. I have also lived in New England and Texas. No matter where I have lived, when the ambient temperature of the condenser is lower (like when using a mister to reduce the ambient air temperature), it takes less electricity to cool the house to a constant temperature. I haven't checked other areas, but I assume if the difference in ambient temperature and inside temperature is less, it takes less energy to cool. That's probably universal. While some 'experts' may be correct that if the system was operating outside of its design parameters it could cause a problem, this isn't the case when reducing the ambient temperature from 100 to 80 or 90 to 70. If the drop is much more, the simple thing to do is open a window. If evaporation didn't absorb heat, these guys wouldn't have a job. All you did was build a swamp cooler for the AC. My daughter cools her whole house with a swamp cooler, so it must work. I have a concern and a question. My concern is scale buildup on the condenser coils. We have hard water where I live. Here is Arizona, we don't get enough rain water to use so I would be stuck with city water from my water softener. That's my concern. I saw your calculations for money saved and it makes perfect sense. My question is where do you live? What kind of ambient temps do you see and what is your typical humidity? What size is your AC? Here where I live, we're currently averaging around 106° and about 10-15% percent humidity. Low temps overnight tend to be around 78-82°. I am guessing I would see better savings than you. My unit is 3 tons. Thanks for your hard work.
@stem_saving1644 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I'm in the Midwest and we see temps in the mid 90s and sometimes a hundred. If you're using city water, definitely use a calcium filter. The hardness is something to test for or watch for. Humidity varies between 40 to 60% its quite a large range of conditions. Since you don't get much rain, I would invest in plastic cisterns 500 gallon or more, so when it does rain, you can capture a lot. Another thing to consider is precooling, running the ac really really early before it gets hot, this will also reduce power/ energy consumption as air into the condensor is cooler. I seen about a 15-20% decrease in doing this. The hotter the ambient temp.is the more savings you'll see with misters.. Hope that helps.

3m prestige 60 rejects 53% TSER only on clear 1/8 single pane glass. For example, dual pane 1/8 clear glass rejects roughly 24% TSER without window film and around 20% more heat rejection with 3M Prestige 60. Read the normal section data on the sample card that you took that window film sample out of. I've been in the industry for 25 years. It's terrible that 3M makes this so confusing and doesn't make it very clear on the samples, but I explain this to all my customers. Another thing you are not measuring correctly is the surface before and after. You also need to measure the surface temperature of objects in your home. This is not easy to do, but the film reduces heat, just not as much as you were led to believe. Also, dual pane glass absorbs a lot of heat with these types of films. The best option for dual pane glass for heat rejects is metalized window films. I've worked in front of all these films for years and I can tell the difference because I'm much cooler when working with these films. 3M Prestige wasn't designed to block a lot of heat on dual panes. It's designed to block IR, UV, a little glare, and some heat without changing the aesthetics of the glass, and it performs much better on old single-pane glass. I recommended Prestige 70 & 60 for protecting furnishings. Another great option for dual pane heat rejection is exterior silver or ceramic film if you are okay with a shorter warranty and higher cost per sq. ft. These films perform best on the exterior surface of dual pane glass units because the heat is reflected before it enters the thermal pane.
@stem_saving1644 7 ай бұрын
The measurements are accurate, I measured both ways energy can enter the space. Radiant and convection. It's the total energy rejection that's what's important. If radiant energy is converted into heat and omitted, it's pointless. Which is why the film heats up so much. The film on the inside should not reach the levels of heat seen. Overall, the interior film is junk. I'll agree that exterior film is better as the heat can be dissipated via conduction.
@ndfzen93 7 ай бұрын
@@stem_saving1644 It's not junk. It's just misunderstood by many because 3M has misleading specs. I rarely suggest these films if heat rejection is the primary goal. I've never been a big fan of 3M, but we use a lot of different brands and products since we have many different challenges and requests from our customers. I live where some people actually could use this film in the winter as a benefit of the heat absorption 🤣 🤣As I said before we mostly use 3M prestige on historic buildings or for customers that need to protect valuable furnishings and artwork from UV and IR. Have you tested a single-pane glass? We don't see much single-pane glass in the Northern States, but I believe it should perform better on single-pane glass since the heat can't get trapped in a dual-pane. Glass naturally absorbs more heat like asphalt roofs and driveways. This is why exterior metalized and ceramic films are more effective for heat rejection. Reflecting the heat away from the glass to reduce heat absorption is key. It's not as simple as it sounds when you realize glass and many materials on buildings and homes absorb the sun's heat quickly.

@@stem_saving1644 also don’t let them tell you the shifter is a joy stick ,it is a slap stick! Move the console forward and use your finger tips to shift! Many complained that they can’t grab the joystick and in over 3 years driving it I never have! Hope you got the premier as the digital rear view mirror and over head camera are all I will own from now on! I can see 6 lanes of traffic behind me with no blind spots actually working better than full size truck mirrors!

You should know that the range changes according to your last trip

Shouldn't if the miles/kwh counter is cleared.

Thanks for making this video, I'll be in the market for a 2017 Chevy Bolt in 2024, and might have to replace the tires, so this video was helpful, I'm wondering what the best tires for maxium range efficiency would be? (I don't do a lot of agressive driving anymore, but I do want to be prepared for hanging on to this car for the next 5 to 10 years and that means only keeping the battery charged to 70% capacity and not letting it go below 20% capacity whenever possible) so for me range anxiety will still be an issue, as I'll be making deliverys with the Bolt part time to supplement my lousy SSI retirement income.

I'd would keep what the car came with. The leaft had ecopias, bolt had Michelen energy savers. I was able to get 4.3 miles/kwh on the bolt. Thanks for the feedback, consider subscribing.

Let me get this straight, you were inputting 37-40v into a 24v input converter then it blew after 3 days?

No, you missed the technical points

Awesome videos! Any idea how many watts your unit is consuming? I know it’s variable, but just curious, my old 3 ton unit uses 2850 watts when it’s running. About 2,000 for the condenser and 850 for the blower. Considering getting one of these units to replace it, as mine is about 15 years old.

Power in the summer 3500- 4500 and winter 5500-7k temp drives the power.
