- Rick Adams has done a lot of things, invented medical devices and converted his home to personal care for the elderly.
I got to know Rick from bus Air conditioning and cruise air units. Rick took my online course to learn HVAC and applied the math and science to the inherent problems to the coach busses air systems. Rick solved many problems and on his own and made several design changes greatly improving the operation. He reached out to me several years ago about some unique problems.
Rick was really good at researching and and solving problems. He always brought the data and what he learned about a part or issues when he reached out. He always had some of the weirdest most unique things. Rick did not just want a quick answer he really strove to understand the root problem and the long term solution wile evaluating cause and effects. The Cruise air units where originally designed for marine application and had some issues when applied to land buss systems. Some parts he would learn where not needed for this application while other parts greatly improved operation. He redesigned the condensing coils, added TXV inside and out, improved airflow and arranged parts to be serviceable.
As cruise air started discontinuing more and more parts, Rick was able to make alternatives or research if it could do without. Eventually the compressors where to be discontinued and we went to the EHR expo in search of alternatives. He did not just swap a compressor but evaluated capacity, space, heat, velocity, oil return and wattage needs. It was really an inspiration how he evaluated things. Many times My brain would hurt form all the ideas and inventions we would discuss.
He was able to solve a lot of problems for many people. When he would call me he usually already knew the answer but just wanted to be sure. These where sometimes very complex issues but it never stopped him.
We became great friends, we would meet up in his state or mine. He always spoke of how proud he was of his daughter and he knew he had done his job knowing what a great and caring person she turned out to be.
Unfortunately Rick passed away at the beginning of August 2022. I will greatly miss our deep conversations, and laughs. Let Rick be an inspiration to you that you can learn anything and solve any problem.
Ricks Wife said if like, you can donate to pancan.org/ in Rick Adams name.
Have a great day and never stop learning.
TY as you know we consider you a teacher and mentor. We truly appreciate the work you do, the way you go out of your way to explain it all. Thank you thank you thank you. Symposium creeping up very soon. Hope to see you again.
Ty - I ALSO KNEW RICK ADAMS, met him in person this past spring while in Arizona and so appreciated him and his friendship which began almost two years ago after learning of his bus ac work and knowledge. Rick inspired me to watch MANY of your videos and between you and him, I successfully evaluated my own cruise air units after purchasing a complete set of wireless probes to use with MQ. Rick and I talked FREQUENTLY up until the end. SOOOOO SAD. My wife and I miss him so much (she met him in AZ, too). And, yes, he was SUPER proud of his daughter and 100% confident of her continued success. THANK YOU for your tribute and know Rick appreciated you and your friendship!! He talked about you all time!! I will never forget how amazed he was when you once called him a genius :)
Hey Ty, thanks again for helping me find a coil for my Ducane furnace. Thanks for the emails and patience. Just thought I'd say it now then later.
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks TY. You are a great inspiration teacher for me as so many others. I wish you great life and health and many many more years to come and your channel that now you can reach out to so many others. God bless you this industry needs great teachers like you.
Thank you for the Inspiration Ty! I will pass it on! 🎇
Great video Ty. Thank you for the encouragement.
Thank You
Hello Ty! I’m sorry for missing you’re good friend and this is the life God He deposited us on this planet as visitors, then our souls ascend to it again. The righteous souls meet in Paradise. Thank you for this video and I like that you insist on learning as a Mr. Powell my teacher.💐
I knew of Rick from the RV/ Bus side of things. A very knowledgeable guy.. RIP sir.
He knew more about Refrigeration than many people with 40+ years of experience. He will be missed.
Thank you for sharing.
Rick passed away Aug 31, 2022. A day before his birthday. Not Sept. 2020. He's missed
I corrected that, I have no idea how I got the date wrong the first time. Thank you for correcting me.
His passing really hit me hard. I wish I had followed up sooner and come to visit one last time. It will be one of my biggest regrets. I think of him all the time. The world lost a great man.
@@love2hvac Me too. I've known Rick since I was a kid. He was a great guy and a great support to me when I really needed it. I miss talking and texting with him.
Sir may I ask you a question off topic. Could a a/c compressor capacitor test at normal mfd
And still be open/ shorted and not start a compressor. Put a capacitor in and ran ok???
Thankyou in advance
It is possible to have a capacitor test ok but be weak under load. there is a method to test them under load.
Bryan Orr with HVAC school and also Craig with AC service tech llc have videos showing how to test under load.
Please avoid to tight AHU damage bearing with rope. I have bad experience in Carrier SAUDI Service king KSA.
Ty Branaman do you give out your email address?
