How to do a pump down (refrigerant trap)

[@mrprince9506]

This is the best pump down video that I've seen so far. He explained the procedure very well.

Agradecido 👍✅ . Por razones personales no pude estudiar a/c de joven; hoy a mis 72 añitos empecé a estudiar lo que toda la vida me gustó 🙏.

The pro made a great point about freon in oil and compressor valve...good info

[@saltrue1555]

Nice thanks again Paul. We really appreciate your teaching. God bless for what you do to help us .

[@paulohvac]

Thank you man..

HVAC student here. I've never seen a pump down done manually (pressing down the contactor). In the school they taught me to do it with the compressor running on its own. Interesting method of yours. Since you have more control of the situation and do not have to rush to close the suction valve.

[@truehelp63]

It’s better this way, since some systems have a lower pressure cutoff that will shut the compressor off if you run it normally. Therefore you will still have like 40 psig on your low side. But some systems like the inverter/high end systems you don’t really have the choice in pushing the contactor 😂

Estoy empezando las clases de aire: acondicionado. En la escuela ;MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU EXCELENTE VIDEO QUE COMPARTE DIOS LO LLENE DE VENDICIONES

[@marklennon1580]

Great video thanks. 2 things I would love to have you explain- 1)-why did you have to hold contactor in and 2) why did you not close the low side immediately after you reached zero? Thanks so much-I'll be checking back to see if there is an answer to my questions-thanks again-GREAT JOB!

Hi Mark, as I watched in the video, he held the contactor pushed to manually keep the compressor and the fan in the condensing unit and the blower in the evaporating unit "on" so the moment the gauges read "0" he release the contactor and it turn "off" immediately. He didn't close the low side because the moment the compressor stops, the high pressure valve in the compressor is held close by the high pressure of the discharge line and the low side valve is held close by the vacuum in the suction line. It was really a very informative video.

@@e-6384 your answer helped me. We all dont get things as fast

[@paulohvac]

It is too late for me to answer, but thank you for your questions and answers..

Gracias Maestro excelente sus vídeos como siempre Saludos cordiales y gracias x compartir sus conocimientos

[@jesss1510]

So if I want to do vacum, do I do this step first and run vacum then return refrigerant back to compressor?

[@Avrasabo]

question if compressor not working how you gonna recover Freon

[@franklinfonseca7921]

buenas primero déjeme felicitarlo por la forma que tiene para explicar los vides es muy pero muy buena gracias ..me gustaría que también pudiera hacer el video en español por favor para saber lo que dice muchas jarcias

[@epaepa128]

You are a great instructor thank you hermano!!!

[@paulohvac]

Tank you, man..

[@MultiAngel525]

Pablo good to have u back

[@rafaelantoniogonzalezdiaz5149]

Excelente técnico, y también aplicó ese método de encapsular el refrigerante con los split

[@sortom2766]

Sir I wanted to thank you for the video I’d appreciate very nice and educational

[@paulohvac]

No problem, have a great time

[@aldotapia2968]

Saludos amigo tengo una pregunta yo hice una recarga de refrigerante a una condenser pero después le quise sacar un poco de refrigerante porque me había pasado entonces cuando empecé a dejar salir el refrigerante solamente sacaba aire y lo intenté por varias veces y nunca salió refrigerante solamente aire sabes porque pueda pasar eso?

[@franklinfonseca7921]

saludo desde panamá cuando vine a panamá a dar un curso o seminario seria bueno gracias

[@LKK26KRAZAKAMBROKSAINTK]

Bunk video. Didnt purge

[@joelgomez10]

Gracias acabo de aprender algo que no sabia pumpdown a system 👌🏼

[@bjre.wa.8681]

What refrigerant?

[@samuelcorona2841]

Muy buenos tus vídeos y me gustaría hicieras este video en español

[@pramodsdamre6649]

Can u tell which gas in the system

[@-slurmdaddy-8147]

This is nice when the compressor works but in the cases it doesn’t you’ll need a recovery tank to pull the refrigerant into before you extract the unit

[@paulohvac]

Yes sir you have to recover the freon...

[@avines7566]

Thanks. This is easy understood

[@juanzelaya2647]

Why do not close the hight port.

[@santosventura132]

you are exelente tecnition god bless you

[@pramodsdamre6649]

I think in this video u not closed sucssion salve

Nice

[@hosseinkad]

😂he forget low side close at the time

[@juanzelaya2647]

Why donot close the low port

[@paulohvac]

Yes if you want to, the compressor reed valves should hold the refrigerant..
