I was surprised to see someone working on heavy commercial equipment on RUclips. The only person I knew about was Holden. Funny to see that he’s your supervisor. I’ll be following for some more good content.
Excellent analysis. Good attention to detail on that dinosaur. The oil system fault on those machines is very often due to sensors causing eev's to flood, checking discharge SH is another good value to look at. High oil temps are another story.
Hello It’s my first time watching your video. Really what I liked is your advice to follow an expert to share the information and experience then you introduce the same information to others… I think this is the joyful part of technician carrier. Good luck
Hello Jason,I remember a time that I was on a call in the middle of the night,for a CHANDLER/Kinda like a McQuay unit! Well they kept saying it was tripping on oil sentry,they reset it a bunch of times but no fix! Enter me at 2 AM,so I get there and first thing is an oil fault and it also lost a fan,so in changing the motor I needed to lean into the unit,so i got up on my stool and leaned on and got a huge suprise,the crankcase heater was laying in the bottom of the unit,burnt the shit out of my hand,needless to say it to me 3.5 hrs to do a 30 minute job! But hey no more oil faults! P.S I never told the idiot what was wrong,or that putting the heater back in the compressor was tenfold!thx for the great videos
Im right there with you. I have some experience.....but not enough to call myself a true chiller tech. I love learning, so its given me plenty to study
Worked on a RTAA today with the same oil fault. I work at APS Dallas. We could use a Holden up here! Thanks for the oil tips. I’m going to check the DP across the filter and oil level.
Floodback is 95% the issue with oil problems. Dont matter if it’s a recip or a rotary screw, floodback will wash the oil from the bearings and trip your oil fail or cause further issues with your system like you’re seeing now.
We been changing alot of them,the MXL Pyrotronics systems are obsolete,so whe cant get parts at all! Its kinda funny,they are 20 years old and obsolete,yet we have System 3's that are 40 years old and never been worked on!
Its planned to. I believe the only thing we are waiting on is for the new chiller to be built. Unfortunately, that's a long process and a long waiting list. I believe it's a 1 year wait time on new equipment like this to be ready for installation.

Great point!
I've switched to Wago wire connectors. Much more reliable and can be visually inspected.

Awesome video. I’m still getting the hang of working on these chillers

One of our guys left here and went there. His name is Brady....he's a cool guy
Bannockburn remember when that chiller was installed.
Yes sir
Great find man
@@wata_laf appreciate you
Love it! Continue on your journey
💯
Didn't realize you work with Holden. Thats cool
Yes sir. Its been awesome to learn from him and to have access when im stuck.
good stuff man
I believe oil system fault is thrown when oil temperature is 4* or more below condenser saturation temperature.
You are correct, it also has to do it within a certain time frame
6:23 - The smoke detector was tripping out on your Marlboro (or is tha a Camel filter?)
😂😂😂😂

Agree completely. Thanks for the comment
Great info.
Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
unit could use a good cleaning
Yep, she was a tad dirty
Just fyi, there is no T in the word across
What kind of Fire system is that
Not sure to be honest

Time to replace unit.

@@jasonjohnsonHVAC I work for school we ordered a new 70 ton chiller Dec 22 not getting it till Oct 23.
