Walk in freezer not keeping temp

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

I worked with a guy that always changed the tips out on his cheap leak detector , he said it reduces false positives

[@justincanterbury2561]

Great video! Keep them coming! Whenever I am unsure what refrigerant the system takes I was taught to always go to the TXV and see what color or what refrigerant it says. Some of the compressors we install have a 404 sticker on it but the TXV is green and says r22 so we use 22. Thanks again!

Two fans on CU and evap. Big system for a little freezer. If you did a full replace, hope you did a heat load calc. Wouldn't expect that size walk in freezer to need two fan evap.

Nice video Bro, Blows my mind how sweet their kitchen is but the food is hanging out with roof water!

[@curioushvacguy6876]

It's nuts man

[@FireandFrostHVAC]

Overtime is good... it looks like half the garbage that I work on too. 🤣 twenty year old suction filter rusted to hell... I feel for you man, I hate cheap / broke ass customers who refuse to replace worn out junk. The question isn’t where that machine is leaking, it’s where isn’t it leaking? I’d bet it’s full of formacary corrosion (despite the fact that sight glass indicator was green). Probably the evap and condenser coils have leaks in the middle somewhere too. Good video, thanks.

Honestly i dont know whybhe bothers looking for the leaknfron the look of the walk in boxes they obviously aren't going to fix it just gas it and go you cant fox them all.

Cheers from Ontario, Canada Curious. Interesting vids. I enjoyed my Refrigeration and compression classes in my power engineering studies and one thing about it, heat transfer is interesting stuff and much appreciated on them hot sticky nights when one tries to sleep comfortably! Refrigerant sure is magical jizz! :)

[@chap3845]

If u end up replacing the evap and condensing unit put that suction trap in the right spot, on the riser going up to the roof..... And don't put that stupid inverted trap on the liquid line back in lol, no idea why they would do that.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

I could never figure out what the purpose of that inverted trap was- maybe it was a confusing day for whoever installed it

[@JuanTodoli]

I agree with you on properly cleaning soap on service valves. 👍

[@davejohnsonnola2758]

Those little analog thermometers from Sysco or other restaurant supply houses can be all over the place.

[@davejohnsonnola2758]

They are kind of a joke... we swap them around when the health department comes around and try to weed out the ones that run high.

[@quertize]

10 seconds in video and it looks like this place needs to be rebuild not just serviced.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

your exactly right--

[@hvacir9176]

thanks for sharing. pretty much sums up my work.

@@curioushvacguy6876 yea was working on one today, still a lot to learn

[@dumptrks]

Great video bro..keep them up

[@RJMaker]

Well that one is a real Gem of a box.. I agree, tear it down and start fresh.. :-) SOMETIMES... You can spin those service valve (Not King or Queen) seats all the way down, coat the inside walls of the valve body real good with Nylog, spin them back up and down a few times to get them to re-seal. THAT SAID, most likely won't work on a ~30 year old valve.. :-)

[@robertpeters9438]

That stelagtite may be holding the whole thing up!

[@ronaldzeigler9057]

Done a lot of coolers but never seen anything like this

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Yeah it was an adventure for sure, lol

[@PaulL42654]

Evaporators seem a bit big for such a small room?!

[@Alexthebro265]

That location is a disaster waiting to happen.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Hey Alexthebro you aint kiddin bro- they have stopped calling me out there because I always quote everything that needs to be replaced, lol--- some day they may get it all fixed. Thanks for watching

[@jasonmurawski5877]

Curious HVAC Guy its better for you that way, then you can spend time at places that care about issues instead of this place

[@dtiydr]

It already has.

[@momon1828]

saw once for ice machine something about txv

[@sampantiliano]

IF they pay I found it better to keep things running for as long as they want to throw $ at it. In the end you will get paid for all the service plus the install.

[@MrSlim1959]

Best thing to do is stick your screwdriver into condenser coil,then they must buy a new one.Cheap ass restaurants,they are the same here in Germany.R404 prices have skyrocketed,gold is cheaper.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Hey Mr Slim- not a bad idea, lol-- whats the price of a jug of R404 there?

[@MrSlim1959]

@@curioushvacguy6876 Todays price on E Bay 300 euro plus 50 euro shipping.It is slowley being phased out here,GWP too high.

Polishing turds, good work curious

[@AVR-hf1rl]

It's time to walk away tell them to call someone else looks like a waste of good time

[@xishxander8510]

Any decent company runs depreciation on the equipment. They knew 20 years ago... it kills me the way they bust our balls on this shit... "oh no the product spoiled!" Yeah, and corporate calculated those losses into the cost of the product. I agree, its TIME. Probably the only thing I really cant stand about commercial. That liquid line Schrader probably was seated until the ambient dropped and line pressure reduced allowing it to start pissing. Leaks are funny.

[@m0fr3sh90]

Have that detector aswell, tired of the false hits and sometimes goes off on soap bubbles, just stupid. Never buying again and so expensive at that

[@m0fr3sh90]

I will replace the sensor but my next detector is definitely the Inficon D TeK Select

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Ive heard lots of good things about Inficon D detectors - I might try one as well

[@kcomfortsystemshvac7060]

Nice video,,,,,,

[@AlexGarcia-vv4ux]

Dislike working in places like that . they won’t do anything until its to late .

[@tomwardzala4240]

Is that an ultrasonic leak detector ?

[@robertpeters9438]

The microphone picks up ultrasonic sound waves from turbulence at a leak.

[@shadowbanned69]

No reason to run liquid line with a inverted trap..strange

[@sergiodjf]

If they go with a cheaper estimate and have to call you later on to fix it right....where are the savings? It costs more in the end 🙄😂

[@scottk0623]

Repairing that unit Is like trying to make chicken soup with chicken shit, it still taste like chicken shit.
