I own and operate my own small engine repair business and somehow came across your videos.
I am extremely successful with my business because I know everything that I do and I know it well..... like you.
I am also an ASE Certified Auto Mechanic and people do not understand what it takes to diagnose and repair a problem.
I enjoy watching your videos because you clearly have passion for what you do and you understand it very well.
I wanted to take a minute and tell you thank you for doing what you do and you are underpaid.
I have a saying that I tell a lot of my customers and it goes like this.... you aren't paying me for the 10 or 20 minutes it took me to repair your problem, you're paying me for the 10 to 20 years it took me to perfect repairing your problem in 10 or 20 minutes.
Good job!
Thanks for the nice words bud!
I work in civil engineering and will likely never touch an AC unit in my life but there's something really enjoyable about watching these... You do really great honest work, wish more people were like that
The good thing about being a civil engineer is that you can do mechanical engineering work, but a mechanical engineer can't do civil work. I always advise kids getting into engineering this.
Nothing makes a restaurateur pick up the phone faster than warm beer.
exactly, warm beer = instant PANIC!!!! warm food/freezer wait multiple days.............
Unless it is a british joint
Warm beer - an urgent call! You do a good job on your content, 10/10
There's alot of hvac youtubers out there but your one of the best ones out there, keep it up!
I have no knowledge of how you do your job, but how you walk through your thought process and troubleshooting is actually great.
I love that an HVAC repair video gets 800 views in a half hour. Good stuff.
I know nothing about HVAC but these videos are fascinating to watch. Been watching them while I work for the past two days. Thanks!!
I like how you always show your work, no matter how many times you have done it before. I have probably seen you change 50+ dryers and still I am interested to watch your brazing technique. Always enjoy your videos, and I work in IT.
Enjoying the videos.. your OCD on making think neat and correct is above and beyond what I usually find keep up the great work..
I'm not in the field, but I pull a refrigeration trailer coast to coast and have a lot of respect for the knowledge and commitment it take in your field to keep things running smoothly.
I am consistently impressed by how much fabrication and brazing there is in refrigeration work on what are ostensibly pre-built commercial systems. Is there another industry with so much on-site fabrication and repair?
Used to be most of them before everything went disposable :/
The heat signature Improvement on that contactor was huge! I just learned a great technique for my own marine engineering troubleshooting, thanks!
Extremely educated and talented tradesman! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
This reminds me of a typical call for me. Someone props the door open to stock cooler while it’s in defrost (forced air). Someone comes by and sees hi temp alarm going off, and I get a call. I end up showing up, scratch my head and most times find something needing attention but probably not related. I was actually called in one night only to find someone with a walk in freezer open hosing out and mopping the floors. Genius.
Back in my younger days when I thought I was smart. I used to work at grocery store and when I was working through the back stock in the freezer I would leave the door open to raise the temp in the freezer so I didn’t freeze my ass off every time I went in there... it did work and nobody said anything to me about it even though the alarm went off every time I did that.
Happens daily at my job! Literally half the calls are operated errors! Stupid chefs and stewards. Then they wash down the kitchen and trip the GFI.🤦♂️
@@mahart40 people back then had a brain and knew how refrigeration worked and stocking with door/s propped would raise the temps....
now days, it's all brainwashed collegiate sheeple and brain-dead lack of common sense from devices occupying their minds and hampering learning their "hind quarters from a hole in the ground" nicest I can be about explaining it. ;)
I wont delve into mental health issues and other things like Asperger's
Greatest of all time !!
You should called them and say “is your refrigerator running”, that would got them laughing
The Full Joke is:
You: Is your Fridge Running?
Them: Yes.
You: Then you'd better go catch it!
Excellent job. I finally broke down and ordered a set of the Job link JL3. I have all the old school tools which work but as you know they leave you running back and forth to get current data. Can’t wait to start working with them, another new toy for the box.
I got all of the job link stuff recently. It’s so nice to just have all the data in your hands instead of running around and constantly looking at a pt chart. Jobs are way easier now.
Sporran has a tool for tightening the stem packing on the TXV . In case you didn’t know . Great video !
I hate coke nose too. Really annoying especially when the ice cubes get stuck. Love the videos and the whole big picture approach.
Ha ha
allergy nose is 900x worse lol
Nice comparison using the thermal device between the old part and new part. Definitely an improvement!
Thank you for this upload Chris.
Another good 1 Chris ... Much appreciated ...
👍👍👍
Love that Spolrlan valve kit
Another great video!
That txv setup is very nice wish i had something like that so i wouldnt have run to parts store or make calls to different suppliers looking for the right txv.. good stuff
Love the videos and channel. It’s great to see someone that takes the time to figure out the problems instead of using a parts cannon. Keep them coming!!
Its always a pleasure watching you go through the big picture of a call an servicing of the call ! so 6 defrost on a cooler ? : )
I ordered my Two shirts , thanks ! Will be listening at 6
I’m going to discuss this live on RUclips this evening 7/06/20 @ 5:PM (pacific time) come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/gxuyY-zoP-0/видео.html
Como siempre excelente video 👌👌👌.. Aquí un mexicano siguiendote..
Great job! Glad to see you changing the filter drier as well, very good practice.
Good job!
Good stuff. Its always amazes me how many te has never write up or change contactors. When you do a PM they should be checked. Replaced or rebuilt there after. It really helps eliminate service calls. I see it all the time. Thee old gushing TXV. Good stuff.. be safe have a good day
Nice video man. I had an issue like this where I had 37F superheat on one system, I didn't try to adjust or anything I just watched it, it was 98F outside And then I found it, the compressor went off on thermal overload after I replaced the TXV the system has been running for a year. So I think you found and fixed the issue
I ordered my shirt! Thanks for getting 4xl!!
Good job
Great job and video
Another great video
Thanks for Sunday video! Enjoyed every minute of it.
Check out that service access on that Tx. You are truly blessed.
aww yea! Just as i was looking for something good to watch, you pop up in my feed, nice!
When securing the sensing bulb on a txv, its good practice to place it on the 9 or 3 o'clock position.
Great video
You are absolutely correct, I should have turned that one I’m going to discuss live on RUclips this evening 7/06/20 @ 5:PM (pacific time) come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/gxuyY-zoP-0/видео.html
when u First looked at valve said this isnt right n i noticed it was leaking than later u turn it on started leaking worse lol it good time u find it
you done a awesome jobs
I learn a lot from you. Thank you so much for uploading these videos. Due to the pandemic I've been staying home due to family that is at risk. These videos keep me thinking.
Also my guess to why it may have raised was, the low pressure switch stuck, the compressor kept pumping down until it went off on overload? Possibly the contactor didn't fully engage due to the sand? Hence why the box went up in temp? Other than a crappy TXV, great video bro.
Love your videos man. So professional and educational. I would have like to seen you build that expansion valve but I’m sure you’ll have more videos for that. Keep it up!
Thanks for posting this.
Nice videos I watch all of them I’m a big fan
It's like seeing myself working! I know what that feels like when the fault doesn't jump at you, glad you found it, that txv whas definetely underfeeding. Awesome video!
as always awesome video
Thanks bud!! I’m going live on RUclips this evening 7/06/20 @ 5:PM (pacific time) to discuss recent uploads and answer questions from the recent videos and the chat come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/gxuyY-zoP-0/видео.html
entertaining video again, nice chris! i also love the new thumbnail style
Can we see a t-shirt that says "i'm not just cool i'm walk in freezer cool" on it
You found the high box temp problem. Most likely the pressure switch not shutting the compressor off caused it to go off on overload. Box called for cooling but the compressor didn’t run.
Great video. Big picture diagnosis.
I always enjoy the videos about the beer walk-in units and the glycol units
Great video bud!!
Got my order in yesterday. thanks Chris.
What kind of order can i please know...
Good job perfect
You are the Jedi torch master!
Happy Sunday! Great content
Fantastic can’t wait to watch !!!!
thanks for the video, @11:30 ill be using that trick.
Great way to start the day with your video Chris! Thanks!
Great service call. I’ll be honest those are the calls I lose sleep for the 1st couple of days because the root cause wasn’t found..
Wonder if compressor hit thermal overload day before with that contactor and lps issues
Consider this...wrap the contactor in a clear hitemp bag. I used to rebuild table top 3phase fryers. Hobarts if I recall. There were two contactors in the control area and both were wrapped in the bags. Even after some years of heavy use the contactor was clean.. A Reynolds chicken oven bag probably work. Nice repair by the way.
I'm always astonished that the enclosure for the electronics on your equipment isn't IP-rated, that would save so may problems with contractors and other stuff breaking from dust getting in. We have to use cabinets with at least IP65 when mounting equipment outside.
Damn those hats went fast! I gotta be quicker next time. Great video as always 👍
Thanks for another stellar video 😁
They probably left the door open stocking...
I braze hot too, my instructor use to say you need the ENTIRE pipe engulfed in flame.
the diaphragm on the pressure control stiffens with age and contaminates, if settings change over time it's best to just replace them, because it will only get worse and or end up leaking the charge out when it breaks through, also the contacts are likely well worn away/pitted
It really did look like it was time for some care there. But I can't help wonder why the electrical isn't more encapsulated.
I'd prefer an IP65 encapsulation on electrical that's outdoors or in a "wet" area like the walk-in freezer.
But I agree that it's good to remove items not needed. Or at least disconnect and isolate those parts with a note.
sproing!!! @ 15:31 I hate when things pop apart as heated lol
Love ya videos !!
great job
Have you actually had a control board explode in your face when powering it on the first time? Hahahahahaha It cracks me up everytime I hear you say it
Yeah I have miswired many things and had them blow up... I’m going to discuss live on RUclips this evening 7/06/20 @ 5:PM (pacific time) come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/gxuyY-zoP-0/видео.html
5:45 those electric contacts on the cables alone would be enough to justify a rewiring of that stuff for me. I mean, the flexible wires just pushed in and screwed down in a terminal with this amount of amps in a vibration prone environment is just an accident waiting to happen.
You should be wrapping the sight glass in a wet towel or the txv wrap I've had one pass a nitro pressure test and pull a vacuum after welding but after refrigerant was added it leaked
Man Keeprite used to make some quality stuff. My AC condenser is a Keeprite from 82, have only had to change a run capacitor and contactor (mouse tried to make his home there lol) and its still running strong. Wish they made stuff like they used to.
To be honest I think there's a few causes for the common thinking that "they don't build things like they used to", no matter which manufacturer you're talking about.
First off, you'll put yourself out of business if you build stuff to last forever, because there's only so many you can sell before people can't find a use for more of them. So you build a prototype that you know will last long enough to get past the warranty period, then you test it to failure, then you keep making the thing less and less durable until it meets the warranty in a condition where it's only a few months from failure (those few months are your engineered-in safety margin so that you don't end up with a bunch of warranty claims just BEFORE the warranty would expire).
I know that International's first few models of Cub Cadet lawn and garden tractors (an actual tractor the size of a riding lawn mower, but roughly twice as heavy because it can actually plow a field) were built so well that the company almost went out of business because they couldn't generate enough revenue from service and replacement parts (I own one of them, and they're built REALLY sturdy).
Secondly, as time has gone on, and more sophisticated engineering tools have been developed (CAD, finite-element-analysis software, etc.) the engineers have been able to shave the margins more and more tightly, so from a certain point of view they really don't make stuff like they used to. Some companies have passed the money they save on to the customer, meaning that you can get a quite capable thing these days for relatively little money.
Heck for $100 you can get a pocket-sized device that is capable of referencing the majority of human knowledge, as well as contacting virtually any other human being with a roughly similar device (I'm talking about a smart-phone, if you don't want the latest and greatest the cost of "a smartphone" has gone down dramatically since the first iPhone came out).
So they don't build things the way they used to. I'm actually kind of glad they don't, otherwise any durable goods would cost an arm and a leg to obtain.
For example, think about how much a geostationary orbit communications satellite costs. Hundreds of millions of dollars for up to 10 tons of "stuff" that does the job of relaying radio signals from one point on the earth's surface to another. I'm not even including the cost of the rocket to put it in space, just the satellite itself. Such satellites are engineered to last 15-20 years in space, and the limiting factor is usually having enough fuel for the tiny thrusters to counteract the effects of orbital drift induced by the other planets in the solar system, the solar wind, and other factors. If it was possible to refuel them, they could probably last twice as long at least. The reason they have to be built so well is that it is currently impossible to send up a repair crew to fix a malfunctioning geostationary satellite (Hubble operates in Low Earth Orbit, in the same range of altitudes as the ISS but a little higher so they didn't have any chance of colliding, and anyways the Space Shuttle, the only vehicle capable of servicing the Hubble has been retired for going on 8 years now).
Now look at a "cubesat", which is a much smaller satellite that goes to lower orbits (like Hubble's orbit, but again not the exact same so there's no risk of collision). These cubesats typically cost around $100 thousand dollars, putting them in the range of something a well-funded college can afford to put in space. The typical lifetime for such a cubesat is anywhere from under a year to 5 years, and they are built as "disposable" instead of "build it so it lasts as long as possible" This is reflected in the difference in cost between the two. Where a geostationary satellite would use almost entirely custom or low-production-rate components, a cubesat uses off-the-shelf components as much as possible, and that saves money in both design (because the parts are already well tested) and production (because they're available in and consumed in large numbers, driving down the actual cost per part).
Great video but you might want to invest in a small welding mat aka torch shield (i.e.12"x12" @13$ on amazon). I wouldn't trust myself with a welding torch so close to wireing like you were at 13:50.
Hey Man
Thank you for your videos, you are the Best of the Best 👍🌺🎉💥💰❄️😎🎉🌹👍🙏👏🌺
I really have to get myself some of that heat sink putty. Right now i use that heat sinking gel that comes in the spray bottle but i find that the stuff just drips off after you heat it up enough and you risk exposing the sensitive equipment underneath. The putty doesnt seem to move by watching this video.
Buy some cheap terry towels from Home D in the paint section then soak them with the cool gel. I have not tried the putty because this method has always worked well for me.
The stuff he’s using is called Viper Wet Rag made by Refrigeration Technologies.
Maybe it was on defrost? You could have tightened the Packing to stop the leak and you didn't check the screen. It could have been partially plugged. Even though it was oversized.
Ive had TXVs stop working after pumping down a rack to change drier cores. Only to pump that system down and find the screen plugged with crap. Clean it and it works fine again
I'm not a big fan of using pressure control instead of thermostat. Good job like always bro.
That grey wire wasnt happy with the heat of the torch. Maybe you should use a shield? Well job
On those low pressure controls for freezers or coolers I prefer using a 15psi cut out and a 30 cut in on older compressors. I feel like it gets more life out of the compressor.
I've always shut off the Liquid Valve to pump down a system , why do you shut off the Suction port instead when testing the pressure it shuts off at ?
Could u show us how to adjust the settings on the thermostat.and the wiring on the same.
@12:00 it's a shame they don't make large enough king valves to be useful to me at work... Nothing for 60+ ton R410A and/or R134A circuits. In 134A a "small" suction line is 3.125".
Is there some reason the contactor units aren't hermetically sealed?
That "Sand" is a BIG , problem, worked in a Steel foundry, sand for molds, would tear up crane contact's, main/aux's, motors. Also clog on condenser's, AC for cooling, operator's cab.
good vid
warm beer, major panic :))
HVACR AN CHILL!
Sir if you select danfoss TXV orifice it should match evaporator capacity or compressor capacity ?
I realize youre sizing tx valves to the evap but I was taught to size them to the compressor, especially on freezers. Do you ever size tx valves to the compressor? Thanks
If you read the sporlan directions you are saposto mount the txv sensing bulb at 4 o'clock or 8 o'clock not 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock I thought you would know this since you use alot of sporlan Txv valves
Just curious why you don’t use cyclic defrost instead of a timer ( cut in above freezing) ?
Is it common to mount units on wood in California?
Great video it would be cool to see why they oversized everything back in the day.
Real mechanics can make shot work and know what they can get away with. Maybe a late night repair?.Or Probably used stock he had rather than buying a different size . More money in pocket
No idea what your talking about...but I'm sure I'll learn. thanks
I saw a guy get superheat by measuring the temp of a distributor tube(saturation temp) and also measuring the suction line temperature to arrive at superheat. I have not been trained to measure this way but I really can't think of what would be wrong with doing it this way period. Any ideas?
