I'm sure I've said it before, but thanks for all the great free information you and all the other great teachers provide. Such a wealth of knowledge. I'm 58 and I absolutely hated high school. Until I got into the trades. Then surprisingly I became an "A" student. I seriously love the trades and think its a great alternative to a four year college. My grand daughter is 15 and wants to become a welder. She makes me proud. Once again, thanks. Phil

The best aircon video in KZbin ❤

great vid

[@kastenusa]

Can you please make a video on where to connect probs on package unit correctly. Thank you!

[@cryptkeyper]

I second this

[@yannkitson116]

Great video, I have Testo probes and a slightly different app but it is all the same in the end :)

[@edwardlouie]

I like using core depressors so I don't need to spin on/off quickly.

[@mohdrifi1930]

Excellent! You need to do this method to ac split unit also! Appreciate your effort teacher! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cryptkeyper]

This is a ac split unit

[@jericosha2842]

This doesn't work on mini split ductless if that's what you mean

[@pongobongo2295]

Use Appion charging tees. This is my go to charge set up. Also, get a third probe and map to outdoor air temp.

[@mtbbiker6401]

I don't understand how taking a low pressure (vapor line) reading at the condenser translates to the pressure in the evaporator. Why is it not industry standard to take low pressure (vapor line) reading at the evaporator?

[@lorunner1213]

Craig. Does the outdoor Dry bulb temp matter if being read from the sunny side of the condenser vs the shady side?

[@vonboldler5219]

Hi mike!

[@arthurrabon9349]

multi zone split unit question. if you have 3 zones and 1 zone is having troubles meeting set temp. how does system respond.

[@JuanJuarez-en5xn]

Where can I buy those T’s that go on your probes do you have a link to them ?

[@NickNameNemo]

If system has leakage (r410a) and still remains some amount of refrigerant, let’s say 70-80% of total, should I recover all refrigerant from system and charge it with new or just add needed amount?

[@povoljan13]

The charging hose has air when you hooked it up to the tee. The small space after the shutoff valve is dead air space. Needs a better setup maybe?

[@globecomputers1]

Great video! Like always! Question can you provide a link for those AC test caps? I need to buy a set.

[@HVAC_Tips_Tricks_Calcs]

Just take two spare caps and drill a hole in them.

[@justinhughes452]

What was the recommended amount of refrigerant on the name plate? How much was in system at the start and what was the total amount at the rnd of this demonstration?

[@pana5075]

Espero este video en español

[@mikev.1034]

👍👍

[@pitaeata8493]

need tips and tricks to determine if a system has a piston or txv. Sometimes on UNCASED coils it is impossible to remove the front of the field made cover to get a look.

[@sir.cannabis1173]

I'm thinking one could tell by how fast the numbers move. Craig mentioned it might take 15 minutes for pressures to equalize with a fixed.

[@mackenziegray2090]

If you see a threaded union outside the case, chances are you got a piston.

[@turnedearthdesign8678]

Also check the chart on the condenser. It usually (but not always) tells you what the pressure of one of the lines should be which should match up to the metering device used

[@monstaro19]

We need a way to use this in cars its 106 in Florida

[@Ahmed198831]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@wpl11972]

I just use my valve core removal tool as my tee.

[@emidiolopez1409]

So you remove the schrader valve to do SH or SC? Or what kind of removal tool do you use that has a press tool built in? Because the Appion that I use don’t have the press tool so I can’t take any risk of losing 5+ pounds of refrigerant by removing the schraders lol

[@HVAC_Tips_Tricks_Calcs]

@@emidiolopez1409if your loosing 5 lbs with a core removal tool you’re using it wrong. How much refrigerant are you going to lose I’d the schrader doesn’t seal?

[@emidiolopez1409]

@@HVAC_Tips_Tricks_Calcs Ive never said I’m losing 5 pounds by using the schrader removal tool. I said that’s just stupid if you have to remove the schrader valves every time you have to check the pressures on an AC, NO way I’m taking risks in losing factory refrigerant if something doesn’t goes bad with the removal tool.

[@jimwhite9483]

How hard would it be for Fieldpiece to add a wireless input for ODDB in the app or on the SMAN 380V?

[@turnedearthdesign8678]

You can link one of their psychrometer probes to the outdoor dry bulb

[@davidlopan6649]

I can see myself pulling the pressure probes off the T and accidentally letting out all the refrigerant. lol definately would put a valve core on that for me.

[@lorunner1213]

I use apion tee’s. They are low loss with schraders on both male ends of the tee. So doesn’t matter if you pull just the probe off. Or the tee with the probe.

[@davidlopan6649]

@@lorunner1213 Yeah I love appion tools. Just purchased their recovery machine. I didn't get probes yet probably next year.

[@JuanJuarez-en5xn]

Where did you bought those T’s ?

Can you make a video on RTU’S?

[@mackenziegray2090]

It's the samething. What part confuses you?

[@HVAC_Tips_Tricks_Calcs]

Although I’m sure sponsored, nice to see someone make a video that didn’t say you had to use MQ and True Flow or you’re a hack.

[@tomaszpoznanski7584]

Iam a contractor and would like to do a course/training for a/c contractor. Can you recommend any in NY/NJ/PA area? Any schols?

[@edwardlouie]

This method doesn't always work with inverter variable speed equipment that change the superheat target based on various logics.

[@HVAC_Tips_Tricks_Calcs]

Inverters usually don’t have fixed orifices.

[@Bigdawg_74]

sadly most techs will hook up and immediately say it's good or needs refrigerant because companies are so focused on getting techs in and out as fast as possible. Most expect a complete diagnosis to be complete in 30 min max preferably less.

[@TheRealDegen100]

Preferably way less but every call is different. Only calls that really take time is determination of why a part failed.

[@hazendismukesjr.8319]

😂why didn't you use a charging orifice

[@kevinpearce3281]

Why can’t you put the r410a into the liquid side if it’s coming in as a liquid

[@davidgochenour7072]

It would push refrigerant into your bottle

[@camilo8cheryl]

High pressure

[@WhatIsYourCard]

The liquid side is at a high pressure while the system is running. Connecting the refrigerant jug to the suction line, which is a lower pressure, will suck the refrigerant into the system.

[@wyattdekay7763]

Usually to much pressure

[@boongoon92]

It's leaving as a liquid
