There is nothing more frustrating then when you find a problem but maybe not THE problem but could be THE problem but it’s impossible to say.
Have you ever had a cook say to you "Keep your filthy hands out of my drawers"?
No, but I've been waist deep in a Randell and when I was lining the bottom with cardboard he saw the rotten shell fish and such at the bottom, chuckled and said "huh, that's kinda gross"
It IS your f'n savage, remove drawer basins and clean your equipment.
Well, it came out as nodding slightly while saying yup.
If you have a constant ringing in your ear, its called tinnitus, and you should be wearing ear protection around HVAC equipment when it it running, it will save your hearing.
Does anyone else hear Gordon Ramsey screaming about how unsanitary the drawers are?
YESSS
I see now how easily you can get food poisoning from restaurant food. A piece of that splatter drops in your food and blammo.
As soon as I saw that I heard Gordon in my head, "YOU FUCKING DONKEY".
These videos are making me rethink eating out!
I don't usually watch the non-HVAC 'episodes' but will make an exception...
As a deaf girl (since baby), I absolutely suggest seeing a doctor, and getting your hearing tested by an audiologist. There's options of so many different hearing aids out there to help you. (There's even ones that help reduce loud noises as needed although not a hearing protector replacement.) There's no need to keep struggling, I've seen so many people get depressed with untreated hearing loss that getting it looked at sooner is just the way to go. Untreated also increase the risk of dementia. For Mental health in more ways than one. No shame for wearing hearing aids, it's same as glasses!
wtf
Sometimes its a good thing if ya diddnt heard things.
My hearing has been not great all my life. I'm in my late 30s now, and I have trouble with people speaking too fast/quiet/accented, as well as a minor-moderate case of tinnitus. I wondered about hearing aids, but I don't know if that's my ears, or my brain.
@@Idividezero shit u kidding
@@Idividezero that's a convo to have with the doctor or audiologist. Hearing aid may still help you even if it is your brain as it can help in filtering sounds
Love the quick release on the cook drawers. 👍👍
that little blinky tip is cool
I said WHOAAAA then you said WHOAAAA when the detector went off at the compressor. My wife laughed.
Just saw the title and thought - if his drawers are too hot, maybe they should wear shorts. I giggled..ok, back to the video.
Always appreciate the "closing words" section.
Used to work on those kairaks a lot, can't say I miss them 😂
Those new leak detectors look sweet
(NOT in the biz, just an HVACR fan). I usually skip past every single leak detection video, regardless of the creator. The loud incessant beeping is torture to me. That detector with its quiet beeps allowed me to watch from start to finish. Useless comment, I know. But as a viewer of ALL the HVACR people I can subscribe to on YT, this was really a total revelation for me. Thanks!!
Man that detector is crazy good! Might have to get it now 😆
New detector!Looking good one's again Chris!
Great work Chris !
Great work thanks for sharing this with us take care
You're right to hold fire on ripping the building apart. As regards the flare leak. You tested in the off mode. Once running the copper warms up and looking at that condenser higher than normal head pressure. As that's the liquid line it doesn't need a large leak to short the system over 6 months plus
Good call thumbs up 👍
"I don't know what it's called..."
It's called deafness, Chris. Haha. Great video as always. I hope you don't have to tear out walls but bring us along if you do, please!
That drawer idea is great
Great video 👍👍👍
I have hearing loss from sirens from the fire truck when I was a volunteer makes my job hard at times, but protect what hearing you still have Chris.
Love your videos bro!
Maybe double check the flare nut when it is running being that the pressure would be higher when operating
I wonder if you can hold the detector in the opening for the line set before it goes into the drywall, and try on each side, might pick up a refrigerant leak that way if there is one in there, nice video
My old leak detector when its bumped it goes crazy, also on soaps. Now does the FP does either of those
I’ve been watching all your videos non stop funniest s#!* is it’s a must I gotta put on one of your videos Chris before I eat regardless if my food gets cold. Good video to catch up on restaurant equipment
Been jonesing for a vid thanks
Tighten up those service valve caps to stop a leak eh, funny story, had one of those plastic ones blow up on me once
So my take on this is
1 nice leak checking very thoroughly done
2 I feel like you sold that leak detector really well hahaha 😅 I want one
3 since u equalized the system the head pressure will be higher when running and if its been warmer out the head pressure will go up and cause that little leak to become bigger that it would be in the winter when head pressure is lower. I just found a leak on a condenser by shutting off some fans while the compressor was running to boost the head pressure "to a safe level" so I could pin point the leak.
The cook's drawers are too warm... and the barmaid is wearing hot pants.. Seriously though, you are the most thorough service tech I've ever seen.
Did you guys cut out the condenser and cut out the evaporator and pressure test just the line set? That's what I do when they're hidden behind walls, I feel you with trying everything in your power to not have to cut open drywall
My 2 cents worth?? 2 super fine leaks 24 hours a day 365 days?? It is actually surprising the refrigerant loss.. but it could also be a super fine line leak combined with the other two... But I love the idea of a visual leak indicator!! How many times are you in a noisy dark environment checking?? Lots !! An the visual indicator would be great in a grocery store rack ..it's always dark in them an extremely noisy... Nice NICE tool
Good job Chris! If I may suggest try isolating the line sets from the rest of the system and do a nitrogen pressure test on them before you cut out the frywall
I will discuss this live on RUclips this evening 5/24/21 @ 5:PM (pacific) come check it out ruclips.net/video/lwBJZMAhfiw/видео.html
Next time you 'll be there pump down the system isolate the lines and evaps add nitrogen at 15-20 bars then you will know if you have leak in lines since you ' ve already checked the evaps
Do you have to work with CO2 ref. machines? we got whole supermarkets which run on CO2 and finding leaks is a pain in the butt. Even breathing slighty in the direction triggers the detector and every pipe has to be isolated becaue of undercooled liquidline and such.
Remote drawer coolers and remotes are the way to go. Self contains with a flat top on em get smoked so fast.
I need to design a drawer cooler... It would be either ridiculous and expensive, or would be poorly designed lol
Nice video
I usually check where the air return is before taking apart. If it goes off i know there has to be a leak and proceed to take evap apart
I always leak check without my gauges hooked up because it seems like people just have to hook their gauges up for every little thing and those schraders get a work out. Then get sealed off with gauges or probe sets screwed on. That leak detector is like the Bacharach Informant 2 except it can actually detect refrigerant 😂. What was that whistling sound in the kitchen? Heard it like 3 times, that stuff drives me nuts.
Try some Dye in the system.... in THESE scenarios with all you had mentioned.
Could you do a followup video if and when you go back to check the linset?
the hard time hearing when there's background noise is likely due to too much loud music when you were a kid ;)
and that is not lazy btw, it's knowing what's likely to be needed.
Nice video, but definitely can you let me know what you use when you check receiver temperature? Infrared phone attachment? Thanks
I use the flir one pro attachment for my phone
What was going on with the sensor for the ETC111000?
100% there is a leak somewhere else. Call back video incoming!
Mind you, it il be in the drawers!
Would it be possible to drill a smallish hole in the ceiling at strategic points and stick the probe up there on turbo mode? ... if it's detecting the actual refrigerant
"Section D, D as in David."
Hey-oooooooo
Is that a fusible plug on top of the receiver? Looks like to solder has shifted. Job to tell eyesights gone to shit since covid!
better to isolate lines and pressure it and check for some decay
Maybe the shrader valves on the hose ports
How do you test calibration? Look at electronic ears.
Hi Chris. Love from india.
Thank you!!
What even is your ambient temperature variation out there?
Do you ever use Leak-Seal or Dye? Semi Common here in Australia, the Leak-Seal works well for tiny tiny leaks, basically like a gimmick radiator stop leak for the car but works in HVAC (different product, don't put car stop leak in lol). The dye works good for medium and small leaks, just shove it in, go back in a few months when it's low again and look for the yellow spray paint.
PS, I agree with fixing leaks before using these, but when all else fails and you don't want to cut the roof I easily fall back to these 2 products.
Yeah dye might work been using that before and it really big help
@@rammelpj I often use them together, the leak seal is actually a gas conditioner that doubles as leak seal, basically a chemical dryer, so it isn't a horrible idea to put a conditioner into a system that has been leaking, and sometimes inadvertently fixing the problem.
I've also put it in brand new systems sometimes as an extra measure incase the vac didn't work perfectly, fresh start with conditioner.
As a european it sounds odd to here "I just did this" when it was a year ago. Above 5 tons of CO2 equiv you have to leak search every 12 months, above 50 tons every 6 months and above 500 tons every 3 months.
Yeah I have a feeling they’re gunna call back
Drawer splatter? Sound's like a personal problem. The kind that happens after a drunken Taco Bell run.
I see you got that new leak detector how that work for you compare to the stratus d tek
It's neck and neck with the stratus so far..... I will discuss this live on RUclips this evening 5/24/21 @ 5:PM (pacific) come check it out ruclips.net/video/lwBJZMAhfiw/видео.html
All mechanical fittings leak. Proven by AccuTools and others before them in other fields.
My H-10 and PGM-IR find leaks even big blue can't find. Now next time that happens to us, let's break out the Halide Torch to see if IT can see it. I've never tried that...
Just broke out the H-10 Pro for the first time in a long while. That monster finds things that bubbles amd 175psi just cannot. Seems they built that machine right the first time and stuck with it.
Your hearing, it's called getting old I'm getting it too.
Time to break out the dye.
You was pretty sure you had leak checked it a year ago, could this minute leak be this result a year later?
Question. Is it possible to contaminate the refrigerant system when equalizing the pressure through the fieldpiece manifold? If the manifold hasnt been evacuated of air or a different type of refrigerant i would think that by equalizing the pressures it would contaminate. Or is it so minute that it doesnt affect anything
Yes it is and that is why it's best to purge your hoses whenever you first put them on the sysyem
@@HVACRVIDEOS got it. So you purged your hoses through the manifold then?
Yeah
@@HVACRVIDEOS thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated. Questions were answered 😀
Which fieldpiece would you recommend or if you could only choose one... would you go with the Dr82 or Dr58?
DR82
@@HVACRVIDEOS cool 😎 thanks!
I'm surprised you'd need a drywall company to come back behind you. As long as you are careful with the initial cuts, you can fit patches into the drywall and do a quick mud patch within 5 minutes. If you have to tear the walls out, or huge channels in them? Then yes, have someone else do it. You run into this every now and then when you're doing network and phone cabling.
Curious, when you make a Barstow run, do you charge for your en route and return time?
I charge to drive there but not home
These are not the kind of drawers I was expecting when I saw the title. I didn't know cooks got grundle conditioning. I know, I'm a terrible person.
Thought the same thing...you are not alone my friend.
I got a car that had air conditioning vents in the lower dash in high school. My best friend told everyone that my car had a "nut drier."
@@misterhat5823 omg you had a car with Grundle Conditioning! I'm so jealous!
I know your not an appliance guy but I figured you might know this Being a HVACR guy. Is it still true that if you lay a refrigerator down for say an hour during delivery, Do you still have to stand it up for several hours before plugging it in or you may burn up the compressor? and if so Why? I was always told this from 20 or 30 years back. Have they changed anything to prevent this problem in modern appliances?
Yes, that is still true. Personally, I tell the customer they need to wait 24 hours before they turn it on just to be extra careful. Reason being is when unit is on its side, all the oil in the compressor migrates elsewhere so if it’s turned on right away, there will be no lubrication inside the compressor causing it to overheat and burn up. Same reason you don’t run your car low on oil because you’ll burn up your engine. Hopefully that makes sense
@@proc7867 Thanks for the answer. 100% makes sense. Just wondering if that was still true or leftover advise from old tec. Thanks
I would say yes because the oil in the compressor would make its way into other parts of the system. if you turn on the system right away the compressor could sieze
You didn't front seat the vaporator valve which created a small variation in the 2.5 psi nano vacumm return. Reduce the coil pressure by .345 and it saolves all your problems. Your welcome. I hope you enjoyed that as much as I liked typing it. Thanks for the content
wut
Why not recover the charge and pressurized to the max?
What if you drilled holes in the wall just big enough, if the space is full of refrigerant it should find it
true but your still drilling a hole in the wall
That hearing problem is common means you've already lost a frequency range so can no longer differentiate between them. I have it lost of low range, parties bar's are just a blur of sound making it really had to hear unless someone is talking in your ear. Pretty much the first sign you have hearing damage already not major but need to be careful not to loose more. Earmuffs always in a noisy situation. Get an decibel meter and seen if its in the safe range, I had to do that when I was still working, outside the safe range the higher it goes the more likely you'll get increased hearing damage oh you can get a app for your phone to do it (not quite as accurate but a lot cheaper). As usual an entertaing repair.
do u ahve tinnitus
@@randomrazr Luckily not or really mild if I do. I know someone who has to wear a white noise generator to cancel it out something I really want to avoid. At least I'm retired now so not a problem wearing PE but in some case you just can't fit earmuffs into a really tight space for those that can wear the plugs great unfortunately my ear holes are to small so have to wear muffs or nothing. Probably how I lost the missing frequencies. I had been working for 45 plus years and it just built up (going to a rock concert and siting next to the speakers would probably do it in a couple of hours)
with flares if it works, work it
Worse case you could isolate the line set and fill it with nitrogen to see if it leaks.
Delfield unit coil will last about 3 years
"when you can see the tip"
Giggity
Bad leakdetector!
Hey Chris is r410a phasing out?
Yes, soon....
@@Paulie1232 You know which refrigerant will be the new one?
@@shadowsiren3058 There are many options with different positive and negatives. Could you imagine trying to do leak detection on a CO2 system?
darn i just got 2 r 410 a systems at my house this year
@@shadowsiren3058 R32 instead of R410
Tell the cook to take her drawers off.
What are your thoughts on the lighted tip? (lol)
that restaurant as Gordon ramsay will say filthy basted
Would you next, evacuate the system to see if it holds a vacuum?
Would seem a good plan to rip a vac to see what kind(amount) of leak you're dealing with if you're not finding anything substantial.
A remote compressor just adds volume to the evacuation and a _please please please don't be in the lineset_ lol

I'll put $20 that you'll end up finding the leak 6 foot deep into an area you can't comfortably fit into or reach. Murphey's law of any repair trade.
