[@YTsux24-7]

Craig's real world HVAC franken devices are the best educational tools ever!

[@acservicetechchannel]

Ha ha, yup thats about what they are, Franken Devices!!!

[@jakekostogiannis]

Man AC service tech and HVAC school have helped me so much. I got into HVAC in mid 2022 and went from not knowing anything to learning so much with in a relatively short period of time. So much information on KZbin Craig does a great job at showing how systems and components actually work.

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thank you so much for your encouragement!!!

[@johnmiller102]

Thanks for this demonstration. You did an awesome job illustrating the txv and the piston. Just seeing the difference in cold and warm effecting flow was great. I was a little suprised at the delay in change when you applied the ice pack. You can see why it is important to let a system stabilize properly when charging a system.

[@acservicetechchannel]

Absolutely and that is a great insight that you were able to visually see!!!

[@paulcusa1371]

Some people are just able to explain something and pull it off flawlessly...you are one of those people!! Appreciate your informative explanations and visual aides!

[@mannytheacguy]

Simply amazing how dedicated to teaching the trade you are. For all the new techs out there looking for real knowledge, this is the man. Period.

[@corbinallen8034]

[@firepelayo]

The fact that Craig continues to make the videos and drop free knowledge like this is mind blowing! I always have my notifications on! Much appreciated keep em coming

[@fshn76]

This is so awesome! I love seeing visual demos. That’s how I troubleshoot things by trying to visualize how it’s operating when working on a peice of equipment

[@acservicetechchannel]

Yes exactly how I do it. I visualize the entire refrigeration cycle while the system is running, thanks!

[@renteria4540]

This the real professional technician. I was 2 years on school and I can see the difference

[@pastormartinez4676]

Very good rig to help apprentices visualize how stuff works! You should try to mock up a see-thru rig for a reversing valve! As usual,phenomenal video! 💯

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thank you so much!!!

[@markmonroe7330]

Excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing.

[@acservicetechchannel]

I had no questions about a txv, but I did wanna see the water demonstration though! Pretty cool!

[@acservicetechchannel]

Ha ha yeah it sucked you in. It would for me too!

[@RicardoPereira-k5b]

Graig. You are the best brother. Thank you very much. 🇺🇸🤜🤛 Rick from Martha’s Vineyard Island…

[@jcrif]

If there is someone out there doing it better than this guy, I haven't found them

[@walterdarvin9983]

Excellent demo Craig, 👍

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thanks a lot Walter!!

[@MichaelSmith-pg6gi]

Pretty cool. Would love to see something like this with an EEV.

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

As times are progressing you will see mechanical valves slowly disappearing and EEVs becoming the standard with efficiency, so eventually there will be inverter variable speed technology only available. Even refrigeration will start using this technology as the industry looks for better ways maintaining epa guidelines. Plus the new A2L refrigerants you are going to see more safeties on these systems like solenoids on systems, ventilation and refrigerant detection devices by 2025

[@acservicetechchannel]

I wanted to do that in this video too. It was just a little too much. It took days and days to do this but very likely in the future!!!

[@acservicetechchannel]

Yes absolutely I agree!!

[@eddy-8830]

That’s an excellent way to visualize the process, thank you

[@acservicetechchannel]

You're very welcome!

[@gustav9911]

[@Clapsonchoochoo]

Fantastic visual wish they used methods like this at my college.

[@l0I0I0I0]

Does TXV and bulb work with any refrigerant or does it need to be adjusted or designed for a specific refrigerant?

[@acservicetechchannel]

The bulb has refrigerant that is the same type as in the system but is self contained within the bulb, cap tubing, and head, thanks!

[@xlillo6175]

Great video and explanation, however I have a couple questions: 1) I have (2) identical R-22 Central air systems. One has the TXV installed, and the other does not have one. I still have the TXV in the box from the original installation of the systems. Both units function equally well, and I have not had any freeze ups or related problems over the past 20 years. What gives? What is the TXV really doing that the system without can operate equally well? 2) Does a TVX create more back pressure which in-turn generates more wear and tear on the compressor, and greater energy consumption? Thanks

[@own0805]

wow this is awesome

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thank you for your encouragement!

[@youmayberight2434]

Thank you.

[@povoljan13]

This is top notch! Thanks craig

[@acservicetechchannel]

Glad you appreciate it and thanks for your note!!

[@wrefk]

How important is it that the bulb is mounted horizontally? I dont have a large enough section of horizontal to mount to, so its about 10°, seems to work really well tho. Also thoughts on using thermal paste between bulb and suction line?

[@ReliableHVACR]

awesome demo

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thanks so much Adrian!!! I appreciate what you do!

[@thekinginthenorth989]

Awesome work! Love this demonstration

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement over the years!!!

[@HallelujahHVAC]

Why do some txv’s come with pistons inside of them? And would you ever use them together or should you always take the piston out?

[@butlerstouchHVAC]

great demonstration i definitely understand way better !

[@igorkorabel8256]

is a txv installled inside of a condenser housing or is this an optional component that may be added to a system?

[@MetzBax]

So very nice!

[@acservicetechchannel]

So glad you liked it!!

[@LC-qi5ff]

So cool

[@chalo2876]

Amazing 😮

[@acservicetechchannel]

[@surfride101]

as the txv closes does the compressor draw more current?

[@gotchaplumber]

Great illustration!
