You're Awesome! Why do people act like this is so difficult to learn? You're an amazing instructor. I've been trying to learn about HVAC on my own for the last 2 years and have learned so much from watching your videos. I am very confident in myself doing a recovery, and pulling a vacuum, I have always had electrical troubleshooting experience from working on hot side restaurant equipment, I just wanted to be a HVAC tech but couldn't afford school, Now that I know what I know, I'm glad I didn't. I have become Universal certified from watching your videos and studying on my on. I have come to the reality that I'm 50 years young and no one will probably ever hire me in this trade. However, Im going to keep learning because I love this stuff! Lol... Thank You!

Thinkers often have trouble working with physical things. When people don't exercise their tactical function, their mental process for doing so fails them. Because of this, I think it's important to work with tools. A/C work involves critical thinking, and hands on.

I don't know about EPA regulations, but european F-gas regulations require a more involved process for recovery, since you aren't allowed to purge. It is still not massively difficult, but requires a bunch more steps, so it is technically easier to get something wrong, and you need to remember more steps/info. Don't know how this is handled elsewhere, so I can only talk about requirements in my country, but perhaps that is the reason why people consider learning this more difficult than it seems in this video

I recover in a scrap yard and get the least mess from recovering from the liquid line only and vapor line shut ! If it gets really hot and hi pressure I use the very cold bath actually with ice and I put the whole recovery tank in the iced cold bucket!
@nickdaggitt5079 Жыл бұрын
With that g5 if you need to restart the pump under pressure and not remove the hoses, close your manifold gauges then close the inlet valve to equalize the recovery machine then slowly open the inlet valve and reopen your gauges. Also to get rid of liquid after your recovery. Close your gauges then close the inlet valve with the pump still running. It will recirculate what is in the pump and super heat the liquid, let it run for 30 seconds then close your tank and shut off the pump, you shouldnt have any liquid in your hoses.

Nice video. Why we did not see the manifold red hose purged? 🤔.... To avoid purging the red hose with liquid refrigerant I would open the manifold low and high valves and purge the red hose at the condenser port. But wait you can't do that with low loss hose! This is one the reasons why I always use ball valve hoses.
@love2hvac2 жыл бұрын
The only reason is I feel i covered purging manifold guage set hoses pretty thoroughly in past videos. So I clarified this example the manifold guage set is already attached and purged at the manifold. The auto low loss fittings are a restriction and I do agree the ball valves are much better also covered in several previous. For many students starting out recovery is overwhelming so auto low loss is one less thing to worry about while they build their confidence. There are many many problems with this method much beyond the low loss fittings. Check out the 2 videos to see much better and faster ways.

G5 Twin should be stored with both valves open and no caps on the ports. If caps are left on then they need to be left loose so pressure won't build up.
@love2hvac2 жыл бұрын
💯 absolutely without a doubt put caps on. For sure have the valves open and leaving them without pressure is important. Appion says to use the caps don't let them be airtight. The contaminants, moisture dirt, dust and bugs wreak havock on the internals. The ones I rebuild that use caps are always much better shape internally than the ones without. Especially when recovering with Poe oil. The moisture turns it back to an acid and that just puts away the anodizing coating. It does much more damage than the >15 psi vapor that that builds up inside even with a tight cap.

I've never liked purging, it's a guessing game as to when the purge is complete - a waste of refrigerant if it's too long, or allowing contaminates into your recovery tank if it's too short. Put a core removal tool on the recovery tank and use it as a valved tee. This allows you to use your vacuum pump to very quickly pull all the air out of all the lines and your recovery machine. Only takes a couple minutes

Thanks for this. I’m not a HVAC Tech but I’ve been taking care of my own R-12, R-134a, and R-22 systems for 40 years. I’m hoping my 40 year old R-22 heat pump will hang on until the switch to R-290. 🙂 I was wondering about using a vacuum pump for this. “No” ok good info. 5:46 you open up the liquid side too. Is any liquid coming out going to flash to vapor before it gets to the recovery pump? 8:19 you note ice - remaining R-22 in the oil - are we talking 1 oz or what? I don’t have a feel for whether the ice is just remaining after, almost, the last bit of R-22 flashes or if some remains. I see the gauges at almost zero. Is it worth waiting for it to flash to vapor, relieving pressure on the recovery pump, and pump the last bits to the recovery tank? Thanks again.

I have the same problem with my RG410... after the system is in a good vacuum my recovery equipment has backed up liquid liquid refrigerant at high pressures... Manuel says to turn off equipment; set the recovery equipment to the purge setting and re-start. This does remove 95% out of the recovery equipment but not 100% Ty mentioned using the purge setting on initial hose set-up. My equipment seems to purge fine with dial set at recovery... Now one gets stuck with a hose full of liquid refrigerant attached to the recovery tank :)

Yes your going to like the next video. I should have clarified in the video. The one I'm using is not an actual drier it's just a filter. It lasts a good while depending on how contaminated the system is. I use a true drier when I have to put the same refrigerant back in. I will use 2 new driers. One when I recover and another one when I put the refregerants back in. I rarely reuse refregerants but in those cases the cost of the one time use dires are worth it.

@love2hvac Жыл бұрын
Some oil will travel with the refrigerant depending on some variables. It's usually not enough to cause a problem with the compressor. Unfortunately there is no sight glass for the oil level of the compressor in residential. When the system is up and running you can check suction superheat and discharge superheat. When they are too far apart it's a sign of lack of lubrication.

So the liquid will drain into the tank when it's complete. If it's attached to the liquid side you will lose all the Refrigerant in the hose because it can't push past the straw in the tank. See the other videos in the series for much much better and faster ways of performing recovery.
