    Wish I had an an instructor like you during my apprenticeship. I was not trained to do things properly like you do (flowing with Nitrogen, using a micron guage, adding into the high side as a liquid, etc.), now I'm a journeyman and I'm just starting to learn and only because of online videos.

    Manufactured home units don't have service valves, because all of the components in the system are "pre-charged" which makes it easy for the mobile home installers to connect the system during installation without needing to adjust the charge or pull a vacuum. additionally, no torch is needed because of the quick connect style fittings on both ends. One more point even if that unit had service valves you can only "trap" what is in the condenser, you can't perform a pump-down on a microchannel. One additional point, there are coils on the market from ADP, ALLSTYLE & Mortex that are specifically designed to fit those mobile home air handles and gas furnaces

    I have brazed with oxygen and acetylene on steel. I Did not understand the turbo torch setup with one tank, acetylene or mapp gas? How did you have enough heat to braze? Was the nitrogen flowing in side the copper pipe to replace oxygen ? Or did the nitrogen act as a shielding gas? Enjoyed the video, here to learn.

      You could if you wanted to but the air (if any) that goes under the coil is very minimal.

    Any chance we could get some "intro" on this job? Specifically, what led up to the homeowner's needing an new coil? Was it leaking? Was there a chance of braze-fixing the leaks? Some specs on the system and the evaporator? (Aluminum is better for leaks than copper? Interesting -- I always thought people went to aluminum just because it was cheaper.)

  • @TheDanielRodriguez

    So the filters do go over the fins of the evaporator coil? Because I live in a mobile home and have done that for years...then a friend of my brother (he's not an hvac tech) said the filters go below the coil. I haven't messed with it. Bur I did open it and didn't see a place for a filter below the coil and above the blower

  • @aamirghanchi9487

  • @rubenguzman6144
    @rubenguzman6144 Год назад

    Do you think it would be safer if used less pressure to test incase you had less standing pressure in the condenser and bad valves that would allow nitrogen go into the condenser and then would have nitrogen in your refrigerant

  • @KurtMiranda
    @KurtMiranda 10 месяцев назад

    Did you place the filter(s) on the coils themselves or the door panel? My MH (recently bought) didn't have any filters at the furnace and we have down flow coils without cabinet and I am attempting to buy the correct filters before AC season.
    Thanks

    Sir can you give me your honest expert opinion!? When is it necessary to replace the entire HVAC System? My evaporator coil was rusted and leaking but the HVAC guys were pushing into replacing the entire system. My common sense was telling to just replace the evaporator and keep it moving. Just like a car, you dont buy a new car when something breaks down!

    I noted at about 19minutes your turbo torch tip was like an 11 or a 14… way too big. Also the gas pressure wasn’t open or the tank wasn’t full because it’s whistling and you’re burning the tip, it’s turning yellow hot at the tip. You may need to clean the tip…. Drop down to a 5.

  • @matthewnelson730

    Should use leak detector, aka bubbles to test for leaks also let evacuation stand to see if it raises above a reasonable level and also should always add refrigerant in a liquid form. When the system is off and breaking vacuum add to liquid side of system when system is operating add to suction side. Also should find target superheat not just set to 10 degrees.

    Hello, Dave. I'm a relatively new subscriber and am interested in learning how to clean evaporator coils inside my manufactured home. My unit is about 3 years old, and as you already know, there's not a lot of space to work with. What would be the best approach? Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sir.

    • @diyhvacguy
      @diyhvacguy  Год назад +1

      Since your furnace is a down flow, it would be real easy to clean, no debri will be ok the bottom of that coil, only the top. So get the big debri out like I did in my last video with a metal coil comb, then spray it down with evaporator coil cleaner and you’ll be golden 👍🏼
