How To Charge Refrigerator with R600A Freon/Refrigerant

[@joels7605]

Excellent tip about the oil. I'm not an HVAC guy and wouldn't have known to look for that. Thanks.

[@kostas8969]

Great Video. One question. Why did you remove the valve in the end? Isn't it ok to leave it there for a future service if needed?

[@eEnzo0]

It would make his work redundant because anyone with a bit of knowledge, a spare fridge compressor used as a vacuum pump, a charging hose with ends ISO 1/4" thread and a can of R600 could do a short refill for a fraction of the price.

Terimakasih imponyah bos dalam dari Indon👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have been in the industry for 59 years, and would never use flammable refrigerant... It's insane!!!!

[@СяотестерСяомей]

Most household refrigerators in Europe operate on this "madness". The flammability of R600a is perhaps its only drawback, everything else is an advantage: it is extremely cheap and accessible (since it is a product of the gas-coal-oil industry), it has zero potential for destruction of the ozone layer, it is not alien to the planet's biosphere, unlike synthesized halogenated alkanes that in nature either decompose into very toxic compounds when heated, or, on the contrary, do not decompose for thousands of years, affecting the planet's climate. By the way, it is strange why the master cut off the Schrader valve? After all, its presence allows you to easily and quickly check the pressure in the refrigerator system, and a refrigerant leak with a high-quality and tightly screwed cap is extremely unlikely.

[@jmb8507]

R-600a is also not a PFAS, Which is cool because it won’t give you cancer

[@johgude5045]

the opposite is insane! Everyone uses butane for cooking but in the fridge it is now "dangerous" or what??

[@andreasmoll_0924]

The valve remains on the compressor and is not soldered off. The pipes are laid neatly and pipes that are too long are cut off. The capillary tube is laid to the side and the tube is straightened

[@Shah2]

Hi is it possible to just use a piercing valve instead of cutting and brazing?

[@kief4diamonds]

we leave the valves on all the units we fix. when we come back in 15 years. we can check it easy.

[@theanimaster]

I’ve seen this too - but they don’t put any valves on ours - they put nuts (like what you see here). A valve would be better - kind of like the quick release ones used in airbrushes - so that there’s no loss of refrigerant. Yet the people that did mine still screw the nut on and off as though nothing will get lost. SMDH.

“We leave the valves on” 😂😂

[@hvacexplained9341]

The joke is on you. The Appliance will never last more than five years in normal operation. It’s by design from the engineers. 😑😑😑😑

[@tbone6354]

A very helpful tip is to 50ml of purified water to the compressor before regassing. This helps lubricate the oil

[@peterstock3429]

how about the dryer? removal and replacement of the dryer is important ! also nitrogen does not absorb moisture. Drawing a vacuum is important to remove the moisture as the liquid will evaporate, subsequent flushing with nitrogen is advicable.. Is this fridge even worth the effort?

[@forevertechenglish]

I did the vaccum but couldn't film that. The dryer was fine, So No need of replacement, The goal of any nitrogen flushing system is to cleanse pipes and other parts that contain contaminants. And yes the effort was worth it. This refrigerator is still working fine. As it was fixed about 2 years ago.

[@elsyleeolga]

Hello! Can I still use this mini fridge? It had a refrigerant leak and it was filled with R134A but the compressor is for R600a. The R134a leaked out and the leak has been repaired. Can I refill with R600 and use it? The compressor still turns on but got heated with the R134a exposure. Thank you, Elsy

[@rafamirtech8920]

I'm always afraid, when I want to weld. traumatized . A few years ago until it exploded during welding. Can you provide a safe tutorial for welding with Refriger R600.

[@forevertechenglish]

Oh dear that's sad to hear, You should always use two or even three punching tool and check the leakage with foam before welding on r600a. As I told these are the safety measure one should take, To check the leak with a soapy foam. I always check the leak before welding on r600a. To be safe from such incident.

[@mahatalentndlovu2784]

I met a similar case lukewarm yours, leaking rusty pipe. I did the procedure like you did and the compressor failed. What could I have done wrong?

[@tronixfix]

Had a Samsung double door fridge a few days a go with leak inside the condenser. Unfortunatly not fixable.

[@AFTABAHMED41]

Hi, pl let me know how can oil charge in same compressor with marked section line or other side ? how much ml oil ?

[@forevertechenglish]

Check the compressors specification from google. The oil value will be mentioned there.

[@1marcelfilms]

What scale do you use? Any scale i have turns off automatically after a minute

[@lloydpeniyasi4699]

Thanks a lot but I beg to differ where you said there is a possibility of water in the system since there was a leak on the pipe in the drip tray. This may not be possible since the leak was on the high side the discharge side.

[@wawerukamau1260]

The master is right. When you run a refrigerator with a leak on high side,it creates a vacuum in the system. After switching off the refrigerator ,water from the tray is drawn inside the system to fill that vacuum. That water and moisture must be evacuated using a vacuum pump before charging the system first.

[@lloydpeniyasi4699]

@@wawerukamau1260 have you ever performed a self vacuuming process before? If you understand that process you will understand this.

[@wawerukamau1260]

@@lloydpeniyasi4699 I'm a qualified refrigeration and air-conditioning engineer ,I know what I'm talking about. Self vacuuming is done at the end of the condenser next to the filter drier.Some attach a capillary tubing for that process . Just put that capillary to a bottle of water while vacuuming ,switch off the compressor and you shall see the capillary sucking that water. Just as the same action when taking your favourite drink of Coca-cola using a straw.

[@thorstenborn1037]

So many details missing. for example how vacuum the system

[@forevertechenglish]

Well I didn't show that in the video, but yes I did vaccumed the refrigerator.

[@shashankv789]

How much is the charge of all doing this?

[@thorstenborn1037]

Why not keep the filling valve on ?

[@sylvianorah1367]

Thank you Sir

[@kareemhameed4042]

Is passing Nitrogen same as Vacuuming ?

[@wawerukamau1260]

Nitrogen is used as high pressure leakage detector as well as flushing the system. While vacuuming is used for evacuation of moisture and air in the system

[@chrisnene452]

❤❤❤❤nice

[@BISON99]

Thanks very useful 😊

[@lwangajohn3257]

I didn't see you vacuum the system or change the drier since you expected water or moisture to have entered the system

[@forevertechenglish]

I did it off the camera didn't show on the camera because I forgot to record that part in the video.

if you use R600A, then you don't have to vacuum the cooling system, right?

[@forevertechenglish]

no we need to vacuum the system

[@toolateformenow2408]

Method one for charging should not be followed. NEVER start your compressor in a vacuum! Always weigh in the charge
