Great video
Thanks!
I like the concept of battery powered pumps. I wish they made batter powered recovery machines so i didnt have to lig extension cords.
I’m sure we’ll see battery recovery unit before you know it 👍
What about gauge options? I have a 410 unit and need to do a health check on a 22 unit. Recommendation for a decent personal set to do the job for both?
I use Fieldpiece SMAN SM380V , Yellow Jacket , CPS , NAVAC , JB are all capable of 410 and 22
Nice work
Thanks
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The OG video 🤣
You need to put the Hercules last
😎
Cool video comparison!
Thanks Rick !
I’ve owned the small Makita vacuum pump which was twice the cost… a couple things I like about this Hercules pump is the variety of ports, as the Makita only had 5/16. Also Makita for whatever reason stopped making 18v batteries higher than 6ah while Hercules goes up twice that. So I’d definitely give the Hercules as the best value.
It seems to be performing well so far, Im purposely giving the NAVAC a break to put Hercules to the test… the 5ah seems to be sufficient but the battery options are affordable
Will it be good with the A2L refrigerant? That’s the only reason I haven’t gotten a battery pump.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, brushless motor and no spark switch. My NAVAC 2cfm is A2L compliant and the Hercules pump is very similar. Nothing in the manual states A2L
Where did you get the vacuum hose?
Local Supply House , NAVAC NHB1 1/2” dia. 3/8” to 1/4” fittings. Thanks for watching!
Can’t believe you didn’t check those filter dryers. I bet they are getting clogged up from someone using some mo99 or 438a. Just from looking at those pressure and since someone had cut the high pressure safeties off. Those contractors looked bad too.
The Fixed metering manifold was clogging, A/C Renew added and ended up correcting the restrictions . Condensing coil is also fouled, and that design has a tendency to recirculate condenser discharge air into condenser. It’s shoved in the corner of a building. HP switches also replaced…. Only R22 used… thanks for watching!
Very cool little pump. Hard to beat that price! I picked up a barely used JB 5CFM cordless pump. And it’s done great for me. Helps im just used to JB my company provided a 7.5CFM JB I also keep on the truck but having that cordless option is nice. Another benefit of JB is you can also have a power adapter to plug it into power if needed
Nice, that power adapter is a good option to have! Thanks for the comment
what happens if the battery dies and your not close to it ? do you loose your vacuum?
The batteries beep beforehand as a warning that it’s getting low on charge, be prepared to close valve and swap battery.
Interesting product
Agreed 👍
If it gets the job done.
So far it is 👍
You can do a little bit of cutting and put a Milwaukee battery in the Hercules one
Milwaukee is 18v Hercules 20v … Hercules batteries are relatively affordable 👍
@subcoolHVAC same difference. They'll be the same internally. 20V is just the fully charged voltage, 18V is the nominal voltage. Measure the voltage on both batteries fully charged and I'll bet they'll both read about 20.5v-21v.
@@subcoolHVAC lithium cells are 4.2v each fully charged... so 18 or 20v batteries both use the same number of cells internally. The voltage they give you is just marketing BS.
The biggest risk with power tool adapters, or with hacking a tool to work with another battery is that, with almost no exceptions, you can drain the battery below empty. Milwaukee batteries basically tell the tool “I’m empty, stop it!” If you have an adapter, it ignores that message. It just keeps going. The only exceptions are Ryobi, and maybe Ridgid. Ryobi batteries have an actual cutoff built-in. They will disconnect power whether you like it or not :)
When the Navac battery operated pumps first hit the market, I was intrigued by the idea but totally put off by the price. Back in 2016 or so, I bought Harbor Freight's Pittsburgh branded 3 CFM two stage vacuum pump. I only do HVAC/R as a sideline, but it's had plenty of use in residential, automotive and light commercial. It's never let me down. I would definitely buy it again. I definitely think I'll try their cordless offering. Thanks for the review.
The NAVAC has certainly been worth the investment … I purchased a Harbor Freight Chicago SDS MAX drill for one job using core bits in 2014…. It’s done hundreds of jobs since. I appreciate your comment 👍
Both pumps are the same with only cosmetic differences
Warranty and a few dollars too 👍
Nice review Subcool.
Thanks Steven !
its most definitely a navac clone
A lot of similarities 👍
The Navac is a Makita clone.
Probably manufactured at the same plant in China. When Sears took a dump HF became hard to beat regarding ratchets & wrenches with their return policy being very easy. I’ll definitely get that pump when my YJ Bullet fails. I’ll be damned to pay $900 for an A2L/A3 compliant pump.
From what I see they’re designed in USA and mfg overseas, HF doesn’t seem to be going out of business anytime soon . Thanks for watching!
A Hercules 20v 1/4" quick release impact was my first tool purchased when i got the industry 7 years ago and its still going strong. Lol
That’s good to know 👍
Great review!
Thanks CC , stay cool !
For the price point it did pretty good. NAVAC makes vacuum pumps for a lot of manufacturers. I'm definitely a NAVAC fan....but $260.....hard to beat that performance for just about half the cost
I have no complaints about the NAVAC pump, the Hercules warranty is 5yr and HQ is right here in FL , at least that’s what the document says. 1yr warranty on NAVAC
I got the O-Ring Assortment, 382 Piece set, for 10 bucks, saved my ass on the cheap a few times. I love me some Harbor Freight.
If you know what you’re looking for you can get some good deals 👍
Leaky business
😎👍
Good to know you could check those caps without pulling them out
The sum at least 👍
Been so busy the last few days. OT hours are starting to match my regular hours. Its that time of the year again.....grind level....cranked to the max
Good Times HVACING ! 👍
This dude really check a wet spot with his fancy sniffer? Gotta be a union guy on the clock. Bruh just fix it, we all know it's the easiest part to fix and most expensive.
What part is that? Thanks for watching 💦
With that much water, that leaks been there a while and someone knows about it. Those joints should be pretty sealed, otherwise there'd be a flood under that chiller.
Yep, Trane 📞
I have four old Trane ahu in a building at work. They are work horses. Think how many have came and went and they keep going
They were built like battleships 💪
Great video. Thank you for sharing. May I ask, which's voltages water cool chiller use ? Could we have part 2 water cool chiller repair leak ?
Thanks for watching, it’s a 460V chiller. Trane will be repairing under warranty.
Funny you take care of an air handler from 1965. I work for a school district and at one of the high schools I take care of an dx air handler original to the school from 1965. Initially it used R-12, and 20 years later was converted to 22.
I can relate 100 % .,I was told they were replacing all these air handlers back in 2000 but they’re still grinding 💪
Gotta love/hate pneumatic controls. Hey what is that flashlight that you use? I have been trying the nebo lights out and they die in like an hour.
Yeah, these pneumatic controls are just existing at this point. Here’s the link to the light they’re good lights. Blackfire - Klein Tools Outdoors... www.amazon.com/dp/B0973P55J1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
She is a leaker
Sad but True 👍
Wow awesome
Thanks for watching 👍
Curious why they don't connect the return air directly to the air handler?
The air handler room is the return plenum, old design new units
Lower the water level..seems like a lot.
Thanks for watching
I have worked on a few of the york millenium chillers and i just dont care for them. They are not as good as trane is.
These are at least quiet
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Those are big chiller
Thanks for watching!
Loss of subcooler seal is when your drop leg temp gets lower than your condenser temp. It basically is calculating that there is flash gas instead of a full liquid seal. Also on your drive heat exchanger, pull both heads when brushing it. One side may look ok, but when you pull the other, it will look like shit. It’s more work, but in the end its better.
Thought you were in a factory or so.ething at first lol.
🤣 yep, it was definitely an unexpected kind of surge
Cool video. Glad to see they raised the liquid level....60% seems a tad high, but i get it. During start up, it seems like they always set it to 35%-37%. We do the maintenance and repairs on our customers YK's. Did they clean the heat exchanger for the VSD coolant. That can get pretty nasty over time. A lot of people wait till they get high temp alarms before doing it though. Enjoyed the video...thanks for sharing
Yeah, it ran better at 42% but JCI tech settled on 50% , they backwashed the exchanger, I did see some high motor baseplate alarms in the history after they left… probably from air. The old coolant was dark . Thanks Jason! 👊
@@subcoolHVAC 42% seems to be the sweet spot here.
Sounded like the Titanic engine room at the start!
Sounds like that there is the EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON FOR to immediately stop a machine.
That’s the last button to push
That sound at the start had wondering what the issue i was saying must be surging lol
Yep, with high pitch tap from check valve.
That’s a looooooooooooooooooooong sensor
Absolutely 👍

Cool machine
Subcool 😎
found your channel i love it. at a risk of sounding dumb is this a small part to a massive air conditioning system my local hospital has a massive set of evapco towers on a two story standalone building always wondered what it was for
Thanks for asking, yes these are the cooling towers for a couple of Centrifugal chillers (200 & 300 Ton) that cool many commercial buildings
