Should have sold them a new walking box with a new condensing unit and Evaporator, What a filthy walking box.Unfortunately this is what you run into. Health department time
Welcome from Connecticut this reminds me back in the early 2000 l did service in Rhode Island had Rhode refrigeration license .We did Supermarkets the company l use to work for we service three state.
100 psi is fine when you are working with old equipment. You dont want to cause a leak by overpressureizing old equipment. The evaporator was about 40 yrs old. Also 100 psi pressure test is fine when you have digital gauges wigh higher resolution.
Heat the side of the reciever from top to bottom for about 10 to 15 seconds. Feel it with the back of your index finger. If its hot its vapor. If its cool then its liquid. If you have fan cycle control, make sure you pump the system down before you check. If youre reciever is hot at the bottom you are very short of refrigerant.
@@kenallen9470 no problem. Sight glass only tells you that you have enough liquid refrigerant to reach the dip tube inside the reviever. Units with a head master will need additional refrigerant in winter time.

May I ask, what did you charge for that job? No competition, just wondering? Thanks
Wouldn’t that first capacitor need replacement for testing too high

Nice. Im curious to see how it is working in supermarket refrigeration
Why pressure test 100psi. Should be higher ?!

Aye I have the same fluke meter 😎
How were you checking liquid level in the reciver with your map gas?
That the way you got be careful warm up receiver run you hand over receiver where it’s cold that’s where the level inside the receiver.
@HVACR Northeastern thanks man, totally new to me lol gonna use that

👍🇺🇸💪❄️ Great vid thanks. How high is too high for start cap reading?
Depends on the compressor, always check the manual. But caps are generally not very precise components in this context. +20% or so is fine.
@@hansmuller1625 thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 👍
great job,thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
