I will say that this channel has inspired me to make videos of my own trade work in the fire alarm field. I’ve already made a video where I helped a tech troubleshoot why hornstrobes weren’t making any noise while the panel was in alarm.

Why is a trap needed on the suction line?

[@keenanwalker6597]

Intelligen is a game changer. It is my go to equipment now.

[@garywelch1964]

I saw you reduced the suction line after the ptrap , well done. I cannot tell you how many time in nearly forty years I saw this done wrong.kudos to you for expertise!!!

[@garywelch1964]

@@itsprimetime9865 No by going 7/8 to 5/8 on a horizontal run there would be trapped oil in the evap.always come out of an evap with suction size to a trap and if necessary reduce at the top of the trap.

[@itsprimetime9865]

@@garywelch1964 no

[@CameronKettner]

It needs to be reduced after the 90 going down from the coil but before the 180 degree bend in the trap. The reducer after the trap is going to potentially cause issues with oil being stuck in it. Also if you reduce on a horizontal section of pipe then you cause oil to get stuck in the pipe / possibly evap before the reduction. Reducing it after the trap is definitely better than reducing it on the horizontal section after the coil, but reducing it on a vertical section before the trap would be best, as you would be increasing velocity through the trap helping the oil return. If you you reduce it after the trap you will reduce the velocity through the trap, possibly enough that you will not have oil return.

Could have you skipped setting the date and time manually and just sinked it with your tablet after you got connected?

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

[@russellhltn1396]

Efficiently is all well and good, but as they press harder for more, the systems are going to get more complex and it will cause problems. Look at all the complex stuff that's been put on cars: Computers to set the mixture, variable displacement oil pumps, fuel pump modules, complex battery management systems, etc. All to squeeze out an extra 1 MPG. And when they go bad, it gets expensive to fix.

I haven’t ran across an Intelligen system yet. I have a few Trenton units that use an EEV. I really like the EEV setup. From what i have read the Trenton digital controllers are designed and manufactured by KE2..

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

I did not know that, interesting

[@SAAJ6000]

Lets hope you never have to change the defrost heaters with that evaporator install 😂

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

My thoughts exactly

[@garypoplin4599]

6:33 - You have the condensate drain heater connected to the defrost heater terminals. Would it not be better to connect to the fan circuit to prevent ice buildup in the drain during the call for refrigeration? Thanks for all your detailed video posts. 9:43 - Interesting. I would have expected a class C IP4 private network space (192.168.x.x) rather than a class B. I guess they’re anticipating a lot of devices connecting to each network (over sixty-five thousand hosts per subnet).

Doesnt the Day light Savings question in setup ask if your time zone uses it? for example I live in the central time zone but we dont use DLS where I live so I would say no. But you said that Cali does change its time so that should be a yes.

[@Spencer1609751]

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

What is the typical superheat with an EEV on a reefer unit. I know comfort cooling very well....but in all my years in this trade and the many reefer units I've worked on.....never touched one with an electronic expansion valve. I know the chillers i work on have typical ranges. Example air cooled chiller is typically 8-10° SH, centrifugal chillers run very low superheat from 0.5°- 5°. I got a kick out of how jazzed you were to see the data on your iPad. It's cool to see reefer equipment getting into the more modern available types of extracurricular controls. As a side note...I wonder if that card has the ability to except AI's....you could use some CT's and see if fans are running, compressor is running, heaters are running....etc etc. Analog Inputs give you the ability to see multiple modulating values.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

8-10 for medium temp 6-8 for low temp is where I aim with eev’s

[@johnsullivan3909]

I noticed all copper drains is that code in Cal?

[@CSXRailfan6588]

Most installers would just put in the unit and not bother checking the transformer I see it all the time and the way I think of it it worked like that for years so I leave it because as soon as I change it to be right something will break

[@Fluxkompressor]

Doesn't this condensing unit have a head pressure control valve? You said it does not need it if it has an EEV. Now I'm confused

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

I could have misspoke but I’m pretty sure I said it doesn’t have a liquid line solenoid valve if it had an eev….. if I didn’t say that , that’s what I meant to say

[@dunckeroo1987]

An open color door can waste lot of energy. Cool room curtain strips or an air curtain could be installed if cooler door needs to be open for extended lengths of time.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

You are absolutely right, it's a good idea to use a curtain to save energy if it needs to be open for a while but often times the customers don’t want them because the cooks ruin the curtains and they constantly have to replace them

[@jorgegomez973]

Hey Boss does this hybrid freezer uses condensing unit and evaporator for freezer?

Yes

[@paulsilver1625]

I really hate pump down cut out. So bad for the compressor.
