THE BEER WALK IN IS TOO WARM

[@tonitighe4008]

Hey Chris, I love your video starting music, it sounds nostalgic

[@FerralVideo]

That was a fun one. The compressor was already off on thermal at 14:40 while you were explaining what the plan was, even before you began pumping it down. I thought it sounded a bit too quiet, and then I compared the footage before and after the cut. Yep, compressor was stopped. "We have a running system" LOL NOPE It was actively dying while you were hooking up to decommission it. You were definitely "just at the right time" with that one.

[@0blivioniox864]

Man.. holy crap. Once upon a time I thought about being an HVAC tech. Watching these vids though it seems sooo much more complicated than I ever imagined.

[@jackw3302]

I used to do HVAC with my uncle's company. I loved servicing units because it's like a puzzle that you have to figure out. I got laid off and I miss doing this. Thanks for showing us with how complex this is and how it's fun (at least to me) in figuring out what the problem was.

[@imeakdo7]

I'm glad you did a leak search. In my country a tech would have just added refrigerant and called it a day, or just outright replaced the entire refrigeration system including the fan coil in the walk in cooler

That beeping of the leakage detector gives me Alien movie vibes 😂

You will usually only see a dtc valve on low temp 448 equipment

Caps will stop leaks though. Look on king valves they have a cap on the live access fitting all the time. Unless your talking about not flared caps.. I have nylon and tighten caps and have stopped leaks but everyone could have different luck.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

The caps on the king valves have brass caps that have the brass compression gasket thing…. The caps with o rings will leak by

Isn't just adding the refrigerant against the code in the US? At least in Europe, it is.

No as long as the total charge is under 50 pounds than there are no restrictions about topping off the charge

120v solenoids will literally catch fire in under a minute when you take them off while energized. Ask me how I know. But you can put them around a screwdriver or something and that'll keep 'em from burning up.

[@badvlad9861]

So please explain to me how an O-ring in the cap is in any way more or less effective than the O-ring in the Schroeder valve, in the same fixture? Most hydraulic fittings use O-rings to seal for pressures much higher than refrigerant. I would guess those caps leak because of dirty or corroded fixtures or bad O-rings, not because they are "caps".

[@Monkeh616]

Hydraulic fittings are designed to handle those pressures, with the correct o-rings and seats. These are intended as nothing more than dust caps to keep contamination out of the valves. The Schraders often fail and leak, why would you expect a part not intended to hold pressure to do at least as well? Do you expect the dust cap on your tyres to hold pressure in with a failed schrader? (and yes, some of those have o-rings..)

[@neilcvids2583]

different ending ?

[@stevenhorne5089]

I've got a tough question and can't wait for you next live stream. We're in a bit of a pinch. It's June, in Daytona Beach. Neighbor and I bough Carrier AC system about 9 years ago. Both of our AC's previous systems were almost 30 years old when they quit. Lee went all the way and got a variable speed fan. Big mistake. (Why does a fan need to be variable speed?) Does the control system send 120v to the blower and the blower decides what speed to run? Can we install a 120v, single speed motor to spin the blower? I understand we may need to do some software mods. as well. We're not HVAC, but I do have some skills when it comes to vapor cycle and air cycle machines. We don't see anything on the market that's worth the money they're asking for. Both of our systems have been junk since the day they were installed. Way to many problems to list. Could you point us in the direction where we could get some better intelligence. Both of our condensers have rotted away. Lee's is GONE. We've been exploring getting used condensers, in good shape, and having them anodized. Alodine would need a protective coating. Cheapest option but is a non starter.

[@stevenhorne5089]

BTW I'm on my 3rd blower motor. Or should I say controller. Luckily I was either to cheap to buy the multi sped, or just way to smart. Why would you need multi speed for a residential AC?

[@JJ-Toreddie]

Anything new is expensive. If in doubt hire a professional. I've done some startups on used commercial coolers and freezers customers purchased. Some equipment is still running and others didn't last 3 minutes.

[@JJ-Toreddie]

The multi speed is required by law. You know for energy savings to save the world

[@aldoo5985]

[@richardbartlett6932]

[@Powertampa]

I watch these videos always thinking how fun it looks to fix these things up and have it all work properly. Working in IT I almost never get to truly fix things up in a way that I'd be confident they'll last as long as some of this equipment. At the same time watching this makes me wonder what causes this stuff to be so expensive when the basic mechanics seem to have hardly changed. You moan about the electronics a lot and I get that. At the same time it seems some of these systems could be a little brighter with a few sensors to alert of issues before things blow up. Equally I wonder why it seems there is not much monitoring going on. Wouldn't you rather call up a customer seeing the equipment deteriorate and tell them you'll come out at a convenient time for them to adjust it before things go off completely?

[@kc0eks]

These systems are designed horribly so often I don't get it. Same in IT world so I guess that's just normal
