Compressor change out from start to finish

[@atxatxatxatx]

The washing of the coils and the fan brings me great joy. It's the simple things.

[@demitricepinkston9036]

Bro I really appreciate everything you do and how you go through every step leaving no stone unturned ....really helpful for us new guys ....

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Thank you for watching.

[@nastyhvacr]

I’ve learned from you to cut the condensing unit out completely out. Spend the 10-15 minute to clean the booger up. Cutting it out makes the swap so easy. Store managers love the attention to detail cleaning everything. And then it’s always fun to hear the couple of co worker b**ch about swapping compressors on these things. These guys have got a decade or two on me, but this makes so much cents

[@grindstone5368]

Could you explain 26:34. (The replacement of oem start components) maybe in a separate video. Your videos are so helpful and this one was probably one of the best👍. If your compressor is designed for "x" btu capacity...does it need modification?

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

I’ve had it cycle to fast without equalization and not start without a start capacitor. I did not have the cap for this compressor so I just installed the 3 in 1

7:30 - How often can you use a bullet before it starts leaking and you have to get a new one?

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

I’ve seen them on units a long time. I just like not using them. But they work

[@garypoplin4599]

46:02 - Are you not concerned about getting copper boogers in the compressor from that angle?

[@hrdworkin7633]

Thanks for the video. Question, when you use the 3 in 1 starter do you lose heat overload protection? Thanks again

[@jakem117]

The Compressor will still have a internal over load, but you will lose any actual external current overload. If a 3 In 1 has one, it'll be generic, and not best suited for any specific compressor application. 3 in 1's are a great temporary solution, but the best fix is OEM start gear. That being said, customers trying to save money have had good experiences with aftermarket start component longevity.

[@joestinson7195]

that was a thing of beauty!

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Thank you

[@ivanlo1231]

for this brand new compressor, do you need to add refrigerant oil after you vacuum the system, or right amount of oil is already in the compressor?

Have you tried using refrigerant recovery pliers for recovery instead of piercing valves?

[@skullhart]

Nice setup with the truck. What would you say it cost to get setup with everything?

[@jakem117]

Dave love your style and videos. But condemning a compressor without checking pressures? What if it was flat out of gas or low? That bit me a couple years ago. Changed reach in compressor and there was a small leak at the evaporator. Customer was rightfully upset lol. Not hating, just throwin the chips out there.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

That’s usually the case. Evap leak dirty condenser leads to dead compressor. This would of got a coil it was a leaker. Also.

I am a refrigeration maintenance worker in China. How much does it cost to replace a Taikang compressor in the USA USD?

At 11:45 what was that done for? Is that a flux or some type of cleaning agent? Im just an electrician that loves watching these videos so just trying to learn.

[@karkanan6208]

why the compressor have 3 ports?one is discharge the second is suction and the third port is both suction and service port at the same time? also i would like to ask if the diameter of the liquid line pipe is smaller than the discharge line..

My HVAC guy just replaced the Compressor and thermostat but it's still not running like it supposed to. It runs for 2 min and locks up and then starts the same Cycle. A month later it stopped cooling. He so recharged the freon. He can't figure out what's wrong and wants to try a txv valve and or the 3 n1 starter. It's a true commercial kegerator tdb-24-48-1-g1.
