Thanks Robert that means a lot!

its amazing how broken equipment on thuesdays always need to be fixed on fridays...

[@dougking7592]

That’s dang truth

[@tbelding]

No, it's broken equipment on Tuesday, and you're told on Friday it has to be working for Monday.

[@davejohnsonnola1536]

That viper is great! I usually carry a bag of rags and pack around the unit especially if rinsing. That fine spray will penetrate deeper on your first pass if you take the time to aim between the coil fins, otherwise spraying willy nilly just foams up on the outer surface.

[@heavydiesel]

Run ruby red, Start snow white, Common coal black was the rhyme i was taught to remember the correct colours, though a lot of new stuff seems to use any old colour.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Sounds like the resister chart code. 🤟👍👍 I'll try to remember that... Thanks!

Other than the blown resistance meter it's like new still.

[@sbingr5313]

@@HVACRSurvival It's a sweet unit for sure. Love seeing it in action.

[@adamlee3810]

I keep a foil pan in the van to clean these coils. Unbolt the condensing section and place the coil end in the pan and tip up the other end with whatever u got. Can rinse thru without making a mess. Can also use it under prep table/RICs and RIFs.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I have a large flat cookie pan that I use under normal coolers but this one could not be lifted up

[@jerryfrigeration]

Awesome job. I'm surprised you haven't used the Viper cleaner before. It's great for kitchen condensers which get greasy.

[@HVACRSurvival]

The shop gets mainly NuCal... But the supply house tends to hide the refrigeration technology's stuff just like the solder weld🤦🏻

[@matthewbeddow3278]

Jeez that equipment was in really bad shape and the drive-through was loud as hell, it's enough to make anyone miserable. Great job though and as always a great video Rick, thanks so much for making these videos they always make my day.👍🙂

Glad to see Im not alone working on ancient junk, I have several of those stand up freezers around still and I see coolers like that all the time too, sometimes customers just don’t have the money to spend until it fails completely, then Miraculously they have it!

[@HVACRSurvival]

Bingo

Hey. You are doing the good job.90%of the time. the real saturation is not the perfect that we see in the some video. But the important thing is that we are making the customer keep going.thanx for upload.

Yes it does!

[@gregbowman3598]

Your the man Rick

[@dashcamandy2242]

That cooler looks like it should have been replaced during the Reagan administration... That thing looks like it's seen some stuff and can tell some stories. I'm the guy at work that pitches a fit when the coolers are rammed up against the wall so they can't breathe, and I periodically brush the coils even if they don't look like they need it. It takes all of five to ten minutes to check these things, I gotta move them around to sweep and mop underneath them anyway! While my HVAC training is only from a handful of KZbin channels, there are basic things I've learned from these videos that literally anyone can do to help prolong the life of the equipment. Almost everything else in the store is busted, but our refrigerators and walk-ins have been kicking @$$ for over twenty years. (I'm wondering who we use for HVAC because it certainly isn't our regular maintenance person, and thank you to whomever made that decision!) The Refrigeration Technologies Viper stuff ain't no joke, it's worth every penny. After seeing countless coil cleanings over on Chris's channel, I bought a few rattle cans of it for myself, and set about cleaning the coils on the family cars' ACs and my bedroom window air conditioner. Even though you could see through the coils on the cars no problem beforehand, all sorts of dirt and road grime rinsed out. My window air conditioner coil was half-plugged with pollen that wouldn't rinse out with water alone. It works well for consumer and automotive applications as well. For the cars, I covered the painted fiberglass bumpers with plastic sheeting just because I didn't know if it would be safe on automotive paint/clearcoat, I cannot say whether it is safe or not, so BUYER BEWARE.

[@LRBennettInc]

I'm not sure if this was asked but when you come up to this unit and there's no identity of which refrigerant it is and the pressures react similar how do you verify the type? Great video thank you!!

[@HVACRSurvival]

I check the txv head.

I did a video on it a year or two ago. It's a manual compressor start tester with built in capacitors, volt, amp and resistance meters, and the ability to reverse rotation of the compressor so that you can break it free and get them going.
