TXV TROUBLESHOOTING, REFRIGERATION THERMAL EXPANSION VALVE UNDER EMERGENCY OPERATION | LECKYJAKE

[@garypoplin4599]

5:11 - Thanks for the idea. The only thing I will change from your method if I need to use it is use a bottoming tap instead of the one you show here. I am new to refrigeration so your videos are effective educational tools for me!

[@brandonbowden1262]

You are smart man. I would never have believed that would work

[@tkdcow9911]

This is genius! I would never thought of this. If bulb loose charge, you can make artificial opening force with the bolt. Will come in handy on emergency situation.

[@heavydiesel]

Thats genius level work there! Had TXV fail shut so I could not pump the system down to replace it, so cut the sensing bulb off and made a connection to the capillary and used nitrogen to pressurise the bellows and open the valve.

[@joeshearer1247]

Hey I’ve done that too but would you be able to use like 45% solder on that stainless steel line?

[@EldonJohansen]

Regular soft solder will stick to stainless if you use a soldering iron and flux. If you use a torch, the instant the flame hits the stainless it will oxidize and the solder wont stick.

[@edwardtsang3243]

@@EldonJohansen 15% silver solder solders stainless steel perfectly. Give it a go

[@EldonJohansen]

@@edwardtsang3243 it sort of works but the phosphorus in the rod makes a brittle intermetallic bond with the iron.

Thank you for the knowledge, success for "leckyjake ....." ... Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia attended

[@Adventure-Story]

Good solution to this problem !

[@lifeproject9182]

So it will work as a Fixed Metering Device. Awesome!!!

[@borshardsd]

Great video and thank you for the content. Interesting, it's interesting that you have valuable cargo but not critical spare items to keep the valuable cargo in good condition.

[@bossming2869]

Leckyjake can u make a stepbystep vlog on pumping down reefer and filling of refrigerant pls. We dont have electrician onboard. This would help us alot. Thanks for those really helpful and important videos. More power Lexkyjake

[@damnitdang]

Should be able to front seat the king valve. And have your manifold gauge hook up to the low side to see the pressure or if the unit has a display that shows data and lock it on suction pressure.. once the king valve is closed. The unit will start going into a vacuum.. storing all refrigerant in the receiver tank. Once suction hits 0. Shut off the unit... it is now pumped down. And you can repair on low side lines or do repairs or remove compressor. Once unit is repair. U can front seat the discharge valve. And RR filter drier. And pull a vacumm @-29/30. Then can charge accordingly, utilizing the vacuum that's held in the system to pull the refrigerant in... once charge, back seat the king valve. Start unit. Purge the king charge line into lowside for acouple seconds... that line is now good to be taken off.. them back seat low side valve... unit is now in normal op. Hope that helps

[@garywebb4244]

We repair a lot of different types of reefer units and I’ve learned to salvage as many used parts as I can because sometimes you can’t get the new parts on time.

[@tomasnewson6744]

That’s a good workaround for emergencies! Shame they’re not TEVs with removable power heads as you could keep a pre-made emergency power head on standby without having to unsweat 👍🏻 top video

[@phxrus]

There ARE more in refrigeration application's

[@garypoplin4599]

5:11 - Thank you for your input. You just made this artificial sensing bulb idea even more valuable to me (see my comment above)! I still have two Sporlan valves that were replaced recently (one was a capillary tube rub out so the valve is likely still good), which I will modify to keep on hand.

Nice. Turns it into a piston. Probably have to baby it though but good in a pinch

[@berhanusisay3588]

Good as usual! Simple and clear.

[@marinerbhaskar2865]

Keep inspiring and sharing your knowledge , your videos provide confidence to cadets

[@kennethlobo4420]

Wow! Getting the thing to work at any, learnt something. Thanks.

[@whodat90]

Very cool! Just make sure that if you put a stainless bolt into stainless use some antisieze. Stainless into stainless galls horribly.

[@jaredj631]

I have heard of people braising a port onto the TXVN, putting in high-pressure nitrogen

[@prabhatsingh2092]

I had similar issue with our ECR AC, now i know what to do 🤘 Kudos to u brother!

[@persimonsen8792]

It's really rare that a Danfoss TU goes bad. But this trick i have never seen. Being in this trade for 10 years.

[@rouqeann]

Nakakasawa din pagbabarko lek. I only have 4 yrs international experience as ETO. then 1 year sa shipyard in batam indonesia and the challenge was intense kung shipyard vess commissioning. At 28 yrs old i retired as ETO and naging flagstate surveyor dto sa Pinas, also im an ISM Auditor. i keep watching your videos because it brings back my memories at sea. Now im on a campaign to help develop our local shipping to something better like what i saw in other countries like indonesia, that some how our local ships would be at the same standards and quality like an international ocean vessels.

[@gandjairconsolutionsvlog6780]

thank you for sharing Sir Jake. God bless you!

[@boluuwvideos4153]

Wow! It's a amazing idea. 👍

[@rahmansaleh5695]

Good knowledge my bro.. thanks 👍

[@digitald5851]

Great video. I may use this in my job one day. My job is on land, but a TXV is a TXV on land or sea

[@johnnya4236]

Yes TXV is a TXV but depends on where you work .. his containers stay shut I assume so there isn’t much fluctuations in heat load so as long as he has a good superheat it’s ok but if you’re in a busy restaurant walk in there could be risk.. but in a pinch this is very good sometimes you get a late night call or SupplyHouse is hours away

[@abdoubouz8951]

Hi @leckyjake Can you show me how to install the air supply sensor in a Daikin reefer container, the additional sensor wires are in the electrical box of the reefer container but I don't know how to wire it .

[@MrBrijesh00]

Really, it's a great idea.... I am also working in hvac any job are there so inform

[@keepthinking2666]

Hahaha the first answer I said was the same thing tap and set screw. Best is TXV with manual set screw for emergency But great video

Hi my friend Leckyjake, I'm speaking from Brazil, I'm trying to find out about the Alj281 from the Daikin container.. Other than the SMV valve, the SMV coil, and the solenoid coils, what else can cause this alarm?

[@felixpitaojr]

Sir am felix jr. Can you make a cooled storage diagram system procedure. I want to make a storage 20 footer van in my place thanks you are genius good blessed you sir.

[@redc8783]

Can you find an empty refer and check to see if it’s the right one and rob it from the empty container?

[@meirleibovich1305]

They usually put the empty containers on the top so it’s a bit problem to extract the txv from 5 or 6 hight

[@canerdogan6432]

you can't imagine how emergency situations may be handled cleverly onboard.

[@walterdennis7023]

What about night, you have to readjust the sub cooling?

[@scarlettalbert3561]

Thx, from Romania!!!

[@maximoesmendajr2434]

Depends om the amount of opening needed for your setpoint

Good day Sir. I just want to ask something. I have an upright freezer that I wanted to make the freezing faster. Can I use the TXV, to modify the speed of running refregerant. Thanks in advance for any info.

[@leckyjake]

nope. txv is always the last thing that you need to touch on your refrigeration system. you may add cooling to your condenser.

[@mikojanlio1642]

how about a stuck open expansion valve?

In my opinion he adjust based on temperature but it is extremely delicate

[@thunnasalbako6095]

Does it possible to adjust this

[@FrankMatawai]

Thank you Sir. 🙏

[@senorgringolingo]

Excellent emergency fix! I just hope that you can find a way to capture the small amount of refrigerant that would be released in the process. Perhaps freeze the TXV before cutting off the bulb, then pouring the (liquid) refrigerant into a container before it expands into a gas?

[@robertpeters9438]

Why not regass the bulb?

[@MarJoden29]

Sir, if you have 1400 reefer on board? How long it takes to monitor?

[@officerkrupke4966]

Modern reefers are high tech. Can communicate across oceans, so I am sure most of the monitoring is done in front of a laptop. If something is amiss, than he will have to climb and work locally. Electrician is one of the best jobs on board.
