I was disappointed when you stopped filming the coil clean. It was really satisfying to watch that blanket come off so clean and uniform.
yes me too pretty satisfying to see a shiny coil coming back and the sound of water
*Used to supplement the up stairs when it gets hot outside this works very well and **Fastly.Cool** Also works good when the upstairs gets too hot in the Winter from the heater.*
As a new tech these videos really help me with my troubleshooting skills...I appreciate your work sir!!!
Ah yes, that good ol reliable Mexican copper and 410a, never fails LOL
It's interesting watching someone Solder. It doesn't take much to do the job, that's for sure. Nice job!
This was very clear and concise. Every shot was purposeful and the angles had a lot of clarity. Watching the coil cleaning made me realize I could literally watch coil cleanings for hours. Similar to pimple popping in a way
It is definitely satisfying cleaning a condenser coil or watching somebody else do it. Great video. Thank you.
Always remember to wash/wipe down dirt and oil spots. The next guy sees oil and spends his morning looking for a leak that was repaired months ago.
Very nice! ya gotta love when you don’t have to take half the unit apart to braze
You're one of the better you tubers at brazing. Nice and clean, not overloaded like chewing gum....Chris..cough..cough.😉
😊 thank you
Your camera work is outstanding❗️Great video‼️
Not sure why I'm watching HVAC videos after spending all week doing HVAC but anyway. You should always do your drier last. Just something to think about. Awesome vid
I've seen those discharge lines crack on larger Trane RTU's. One cause was compressed compressor mounts causing vibration transfer to the discharge and suction lines. The other more common cause was internal erosion of the copper right after the Rotor Lock fitting. Your unit had Scrolls so it was probably vibration. Nice job on the repair! Small tip regarding use of a clamp-on amprobe. Never pull the clamp on the wire and take a reading. Look at the clamp and you'll see hash marks left, right, and top. The wire should line up with those marks for an accurate reading. Makes a big difference when setting up sheeves on a large belt drive motor...
You washed the filter off man. Lol.
I had that exact issue on a trane the same size on both compressors. Had to put elbows on both units.
I started use blue Dove concentrated dish soap in my coil gun, it’s a degreaser, leave it on for 5-10 min, clean as a whistle, and it doesn’t eat the rubber roof membrane, also doesn’t cost 50 bucks, not that I’m cheap, but a windy day using Nu calgon condenser cleaner, we’ve all been there, burns on arms or wherever is may accidentally spray onto exposed skin.
Dishwash and aluminium is a nono
@@sjefoekel6058 I understand clothes washing powder being bad due to high pH, but most domestic dishwashing liquid is pH neutral, it's safe to have you hands in it all day, it's basically a wetting agent. The industrial stuff different matter entirely.
today was the first time I used a torch like that. I must say had just little tuff time at first with the mixture but wow what a difference. I had to hit 5 spots and I has no leak and it's way better than using the turbo torch . I also like how you never cut corners. unfortunately I been through a couple different companies this year and wow the shit I've seen. nothing worse then being yelled at for taking to long on a job cause I'm doing things by the book so to speak
Man you sweat those joints sooo nice!
You do great work man. That's a textbook braze on that elbow ;) Nice cap, I think Chris from HVACR Videos might wanna get your cap, cuz right now he's using some Dubai Sheik cap.
Hi Sar I like your job really really so good job
Nice capillary action on that elbow.
Sweet camera angle on the elbow braze!
Have you got a ROT on how much rod to use on a certain size fitting?
Example: 3/8" filter dryer, do you make a bend on your rod "x" inches length to give you a guide?
Good vid
Good diagnosis
Remember, folks... a dirty condenser coil can really slam the breaks on on your trane...
yuppers
just found your video like it honest. please do some on trouble shooting thanks.
Micro-channel is CRAP.
Living in Thailand, ALL of our 11 micro-channel coils failed in less than 6 years FROM NEW. They "weeped gas", and R22. Samsung should be shamed for making such an "environmentally destructive product"!
Never again Samsung, bought a local brand "Eminent", copper core condenser, ZERO problems.
Micro-channel should be ILLEGAL!
Great video, many thanks!
Clean them.
Thanks for your knowledge u r great bless you stay safe
Thanks, you too!
That is great weld very nice
Thanks
What kinda sil phos rod you using? Loving the overtime show! From a fellow michigander !
Nice repair 👍 video
Thanks
Good job bro
New subscriber here . Great channel man. You do really good work.
What are you brazing with? It looks to have a nice lower melting point.
You should have cleaned off the roof around the unit after you cleaned that coil. After it all dries up it’s just gonna get sucked back into it.
Good work bro! Where do you usually put your suction line temperature clamp on the trane unit or any Rtu for that matter. How far up the suction line from the compressor? Just curious curious thanks
I try to get it at least 8" from the compressor if at all possible -- thanks for the support and thanks for watching
Is that a retractable hose? How do you like that compared to a standard hose? Do you have to replace it often?
So far its lasted longer then I thought, I like it- much easier to carry up to rooftops and lug around
Good video.
Thanks for watching Daniel
Thnx for the video ✌️
Is that a split coil? If yes how do you open them up for cleaning without kinking coil lines?
This coil is not a splitable coil, I shot that video awhile back but I believe I could see through the coil after I cleaned it. The best way to clean them is get some boards or cinder blocks to support that outer coil when you split them- you gotta be real careful with them, I havent cracked one yet cause I take my time when I split them.
Where did you get that water nozzle you washed off the condenser with?
got it from Lowes, out of the garden department-- best thing ever
sir, i have a question an about trane package R410A ( cool only ) complete the information above the error code, if you please? thankyou
Do any buildings use nordyne brand package units
How do you know what the superheat and subcool are supposed to be on a unit?
I normally just use rules of thumb on package units- if need be you can calculate target superheat based on the indoor humidity and temperature but with these situations I go with the rules of thumb
Since it's a package unit you weigh the charge in.
Interesting
if you clean the coil out with hot water it might draw down faster.
Old faithful spraying out.
Why did you use that cps micron gauge, is that fieldfiece digital manifold come with micron gauge?
Plus in general, field piece is far less accurate check out the new yellow jackets they are awesome and the micron gauge is external.
Nice!!!!!
You are a good engineer, And I watch a lot of your videos, however am not agreeing with you putting refrigerant in a system to find a leak , that is intentionally leaking refrigerant into the atmosphere... in the UK you could be find up to £25000 for this.
Hey there- I searched for my EPA book but couldnt find it to quote it word for word but I do know they allow a certain amount of refrigerant to be used for this purpose, again I dont know the ounces vs the size of the system. I was talking to a few other guys outside the US and they say the same thing, I think we are just behind on our EPA rules
Curious HVAC Guy Behind, and going backwards! No disrespect to you personally, but your countries policies were already weak and Trump seems hell bent on weakening environmental laws even further. It makes a mockery of the efforts of the rest of the planet when the US pumps out more carbon per person than any other nation already, yet seems keen to increase it further!
@@curioushvacguy6876 I proctor the EPA608. Trace amounts of refrigerant are ok for leak searches. An amount is not specified. As I write this the books and test are being updated...
Are you brazing with lead soldier.
Buy an appion megaflow kit best $100 I've spent 3-500 microns in minutes
I could be wrong did you add oil?
@@curioushvacguy6876 With the amount of oil that appears to be all over the place... it appears that you had a high system pressure due to low air flow on the condenser. The hight temp and pressure will load more oil into the refrigerant. The end result was a catastrophic pipe failure and unload of the refrigerant with loads of oil. I don't off hand know how to quickly check oil quantity in the compressor other than to drain it. But might be something to watch for as low oil..... well you know.
@@curioushvacguy6876 It is likely ok~ but on the other hand 100% something to watch. Nothing like explaining to the customer... "Yeah I forgot to put oil in it and that's why it only worked for 3 months."
Coil looks showroom new after getting the gunk off...
👍
how about adding some oil.
You show the leak at first you can see the water and soap on the others Compressor
You forgot to link the hat from Amazon! Help. I’m getting sunburnt.
Do you ever accidentally light your beard on fire?
Wheres yer gloves mr....
Easy money
Eroor E2 havc Trane
Piece of scrap I’d say
Nothing stops a Trane though, lol
👍
