Simple DIY propane refrigeration test
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.6 лет назад
I tried refrigeration service without using any special tools or supplies. Obviously there is flammability risk with this method; some common sense is called for if anyone tries this. I certainly would not try this on a vehicle where there would be a possibility of catastrophic damage. I will update if I get a chance to correct the leak. Follow up note. Its now nearly five years later. Never fo...
Harbor Freight Plate Compactor

Recently I had two modest projects that needed a plate compactor 6 or 8 times, but only for minutes at a time. Renting was going to be an expensive aggravation, so I tried out the Harbor Freight compactor. All went well.

DIY top down shingles

Install shingles starting at top-good idea or not? Follow up: The next season I shingled another roof. This time I used the conventional bottom up approach on the small areas and used the top/down method on large areas. All went well.

    Pella Architect classic series windows. Same exact issue. Pella's response: There is no warranty on the wood sash. 1,000 per sash to change out with new. Other window companies consulted want 30,000 for just four window sash replacements. We have 11 rotting sashes and two doors. I wish I could find a craftsman who could do this for me. I wish I could find a lawyer to take on these thieving, window shysters'.

    Geezer, Since yours was fixed, it appears you had to destroy the old sash to remove it. My sashes are movable. Guessing you would have suggested using a hand saw or a vibrating saw to disassemble the mortise joints? Even still they're hard to get apart, esp if trying to save the glass! I'm slo but 2 hours for removing clading, diesel fuel, razor knifing edges, and sawing apart the joints. Only a job for the careful and the most determined among us.

    Most refrigerants are flammable to some extent. They had to incorporate more hydrocarbons in the mix to reduce toxicity and environmental reactions. As you pointed out, it is a very small quantity. Domestic propane has the advantage of having an aroma added, so a major leak may announce itself to your nose. It is also heavier than air, so unless there is an ignition source below the leak, it will be hard to get it into the right place at the right A/F ratio to ignite… Nice experiment!

    I use this method on my roofing as well. I'm not a contractor, but I have re-roofed my own house (12 square) and garage (10 square) with this method. It allows me to work by myself without exposing the entire roof to the unpredictable Maine weather as stated by another poster. The finished product is exactly the same installation. The only difference is the order in which it is installed.

    I installed 30 pella windows about 1985 in a house rework and expansion. The are of the the unsealed type. My house was built in the 1949 by a person with a hammer in one hand and a brown bear bottle in the other. We discovered the empty bottle stash during the foundation expansion. The pella list was 20ea. 42x16 swing out casement with rolls screens, 4ea. 42x16 fixed, 3ea. double hung, and 3ea. swing out awning. I bought pella because at the time friends were having having seal problem with Anderson. Every seal on the pella windows leaked. Moist inside air was getting between the panes. So much cold air was coming in the top weep hole going out the bottom holes the the lower inside glass temperature almost matched outside air temperature. Called pella the first North East winter after instillation with moisture problems between and on the bottom inside. The first words out of their mouth was " THEY WERE NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY." And by the way they would not come out to inspect them. Years later I was going through the paper on the house and found papers from the windows. The papers stated that there was a long term warranty on the seal. The warranty period was not expired. I called pella " we do not make that product any more. Your window do not have a seal that we warranty. " MY REAL REASON FOR THIS RANT IS. I want to get rid of the roll screens. The seal at the top of the window is poor and we never use them anyway. DOES PATTERN FOR ENDS OF THE TOP INNER STOP EXIST.

    geezeguy: Thank you for this video. I have a Pella Double Hung window. the bootm rail of the upper sash is rotted. I'll follow what you have done here. But can you provide any helpful hits for the Double Hung ? It would be very much appreciated. Pella says they no longer manufacture repalcemnt Sash for this year window (1994). The only option they offered was to remove the entire window and replace it with a new unit. The costs is $2,000. But the skill and labor to do that will require more expenses , as the outside Cedar House trim must be completly removed to get to the Nailing Flange. Thank you much in advance.

    I think I have the same machine and same problem. Is it r22? Liquid propane? Vapor? how did you get the propane in? Propane from 20 lb grill tank? I love the idea and would do the same. Thanks!

    • @geezerguy47
      @geezerguy47 5 лет назад

      As far as how I got the propane into the system, the video pretty well covers it-not much to add. When charging the system, the pressure in the tank must be greater that the system pressure, so it needs to go in the suction line and compressor running. I used vapor off the grill tank. I think modern grill tanks have a valve preventing liquid withdrawal. Its now been a couple years and the machine is still working. I tired injecting UV dye to find leak with no success. About once a season it needs a propane top up.

    • @tunnelsnake627

    • @geezerguy47
      @geezerguy47 5 месяцев назад

      No, I feed in vapor to the suction side. When I feel cool on the suction line I stop filling. I don't think you can get liquid out of modern tanks due to internal safety valve. It might feed in too much, too quickly anyway.

      The learning curve on the first one was a couple days. Next three only a faction as long. Can't buy parts from Pella. They are happy to sell new windows though. So maybe there was a revenge element in the project. Besides, I'm retired, so I can do things like that.
