I think he fixed the audio
to all asking, this has been re-uploaded due to audio problems in the earlier upload.
Thank you. I was wondering what happened. Cheers
Hey man, I just wanted to thank u for doing these videos. I just started a job in beverage equipment repair and ur videos are really helping me learn a lot faster. Please keep up the amazing work and thank u again. I'm even considering buying 1 of ur hats and I'm a notoriously cheap bastard!
It's kind of wild that those swamp coolers don't have some kind of enclosed motor.
This whole us hvac gear is wild...."hey joe, lets take equipment that is exposed to automotive/heavy industrial environments (heat, humidity, cold, severe dirt) and design it like a cheap microwave oven" Mechanical timers in a sandstorm, cabinet style VFDs exposed to dripping water, open motors in the rain, open pcbs where ice can form, belt drives everywhere. Using weirdo modern belts that wear out sheaves in no time. One of the big automakers should open an HVAC division. They know how to design systems that last in a wet, hot, dirty environment. Like, it aint hard. Electronics go below the roof and get cooled by the output airstream or get properly designed enclosures, sheaves get made from a high wear resistance material. Motors, heh, just order European style motors with full IP rating. Solved. While we are at it. Get rid of belt drives where direct drive is possible. If fans get banged up all the time, the sheet metal is too thin. Why are there no shock mounts to absorb vibration. What is this garbage. None of those changes are expensive or difficult.
@@Zonkotron They designed it to fail. That's the strategy. Search for Phoebus cartel.
@@Zonkotron didn't Elon musk say he was opening a HVAC company
@Knoz great ideas, and also ones the majority of customers will say "too expensive" to.
@@liam3284 lol, thats a few percent of total cost. That is the insanity of it. Some technologies like battery evs are genuinely expensive. What i listed is a couple hundred bucks for an install that is what....10+ grand.
I don't know if I've just watched so many of your videos that now i just "get it" or if you were just explaining it really clearly this time, but I was able to follow your partial de-pressurization of the system and the readings on your equipment really well even though I have no AC experience. Thanks for explaining the steps you use for troubleshooting, it really makes customers like me far better informed when talking to HVAC techs.
It is not being lazy,the customer appreciates the savings,excellent job.
I LOVE your thought process ramblings on these videos. I don't work on HVAC and I understand...maybe 30% of everything you're working on, but you explain things clearly, and your troubleshooting process is great. I work in IT, and I admire how your troubleshooting is a combination of experience in knowing common trouble points, and breaking the issue down logically to find the failure.
You considering going into the field? Or just enjoy the content
It's always amazing seeing swamp coolers used. I've seen them in active use _once_ in Houston, and that was outside at an auto junk yard - in 1988. Most of the time, people aren't interested in going from 90% humidity to 100% humidity at 99 degrees. (or higher)
They work well in very dry enviroments but absolutly suck in humid places.
@@Willard_guy - Yup. Which is why I really don't get people selling them along the gulf coast. We can be in a _drought_ and have 90% humidity. I saw one of those 'fill with ice' "air conditioners" being sold at Home Depot last night. It had like a 1 gallon 'storage' for the ice, it looked to be.
My field has nothing to do with hvac, but one of your videos was in the recommended videos a few years ago. For some reason, this field became interesting and it's really nice to watch your videos. I always look forward to the next video 😀
Your a bad man lol!! I’m being shoved to start working on refrigeration & your videos are really helping me!! Thank you🥃
13:25 ,what was that clicking noise? You got a special lil torquey guy for those Schrader valves?? Or am i just hearing something else😂😂
I think it was his gloves slipping. It caught my attention as well, haha
I saw what you did there few minutes ago 😄 Keep up the good work ✌
Great job Chris! I repair a lot of leaks by lowering system pressure to just above zero therefore keeping air from entering the system.
great job
Nice work @HVACR VIDEOS
If they are doing a complete overhaul downstairs ? Why can’t you remove the rack at that time an install your new units on the old Rack supports? Reason I am asking is using existing port holes thro the roof. Lol 1000 contractors would do it a thousand different ways 😅 but I was curious… Thanks 😊
Thanks for fixing it
Thanks Chris
Has always good stuff. To. Watch
And enjoyable. To. See. All.
Did i hear seven of nine? Resistance is futile! 😁
Good job Chris.
I love your videos. Any suggestions on who to seek out for residential and boilers?
I spotted those bubbles before you cut! That Schrader port location loves to leak on Bohn coils too and is usually completely blown out just the same when it fails. I have never gotten an answer on why it's that exact location of the core seal that is prone to completely blowing out. My best guess is it's the constant change of pressures from low to medium paired with vibration. My only other guess would be certain core seals were made with made with a material that breaks down when it comes in to contact with a refrigerant oil.
can i ask ur help with our TRUE single door under counter cooler? Its started to not cool anymore, best reading was 10 degrees celcius. the fans are running fine, the coils inside and outside are clean and not full of dirt, dust etc. the compressor sounds like its running fine (normally) only its just constantly running. obviously you cant diagnosis on the internet but by the sounds of what its doing, is it likely a coolant leak somewherE?
@@randomrazr it really does sound like a leak somewhere. If you aren't hitting setpoint and shutting off with good refrigerant levels you'll ice up the coil. If you have low refrigerant levels then it just runs a lot and doesn't shut off because the thermostat can't satisfy. You'll want to empty it and unplug the unit as the compressor relies on that refrigerant to cool the internal components. Call a technician out to verify there is a leak. Depending on the age and condition of the unit don't be surprised if you are told it can be fixed but should be replaced. A new unit can go for approximately $1,500 USD to $3,500 USD. It all depends on what your needs are. I hope this helps!
Love the video have you ever considered buying a used bucket truck they can lift like 1k pounds instead of renting cranes like you have in the past?
Buckit trucks are money pits, period. First, they are man-rated, not freight. Most are rated to lift 500lbs human, and are not equipped to handle freight. Plus most locations are not set up where a buckit truck can get in close enough to permit heavy lifts, or lifts at all. He is very rarely needed to hoist bulky materials like this swamp cooler, infrequently fan motors and compressors, and once in a blue moon, a package unit that would be overweight for a buckit truck. So the bottom line that truck would be sitting at the shop more often than being out in the field. And when they need it, guess what? It's broken.
12:41 omg looks like you're pulling a tooth!
Man that swamp cooler would make a nice shop fan slash yard fan
Bruh. You like an unpaid teacher 😂
Ha ha yeah that is true!
That’s strange I’ve never seen a refrigeration evaporator unit with a single fan!
Have you ever had a customer who did a self-repair of some sort and introduced a harmful substance (like drain cleaner) somewhere and now you have to take extraordinary measures to keep from getting hurt yourself?
Schrader core removal under slight pressure, 3/32 bit and a soft trigger finger
I'm a auto shop owner and I use soapy bubbles to find leaks in exhaust and emission systems. I was surprised to find out sop and water only finds small leaks like under .005 if the leak is larger soap will not bubble.
yeah too much velocity, pressure and exhaust flow is in pulses, so it just blows it away and will not bubble at all.
you'll have much better luck with engine not running, then spray/brush everything while using very low pressure shop air in the tail pipe, letting it mostly leak out through a rag holding the hose in, maybe even feed it in through a tee fitting too keep pressure minimal. yes of course you could also use a smoke machine with smoke on or off and soap bubbles, but again tiny pressure and no velocity!
The smoke machines you would use for evaporative leak checking can also be used for exhaust/intake leaks. I'm always surprised how many leaks there are every time I test an exhaust system, especially one I made haha
@@MegaDysart Yeah for sure. I have one and use it but there can never be enough tests
@@throttlebottle5906 Well I never even considered starting the engine. Ill have to try it next time
@@eddiereichel9354 oh, I assumed you was trying to find the leaks with engine running!
It's not lazy to not want to change the drier and pull a vacuum, it's efficient
Wasn't this posted early this morning?
Yeah. In the middle of the vid, the audio went out for a couple of minutes.
yeah but he left a big old dildo on display behind his desk
Your right with P.O.E. and moisture controversy, but your freinds at Sporlan sort of ended it. Sporlans dryers WILL remove moisture from P.O.E., the issue is will the vacuum pump? Many many variables come into play if it will remove it, so that "depends". If you have a moisture issue they stated let it run a day then change out dryer. Level's will then be acceptable.
problem is, POE can hold far more moisture than a single small dryer can remove, keep the stuff sealed up as mush as possible.
the current POE oil isn't as hygroscopic as when it first came out. in my opinion it was as bad as alcohol at absorbing water. lol
@@throttlebottle5906 So, they used brake fluid?
Doing it with positive pressure like that is waaaay better for the system rather than opening to atmosphere and all that.
HAVE YOU EVER CAME ACROSS A SYSTEM WHERE THE LIQUID RECEIVER ISNT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE THE SYSTEM CHARGE?
Yes and if you look closely at the receiver on this system it is not located on the condensing unit for that exact reason, when I installed the equip I upsized the receiver
Thank you!
Was it a space thing that was the reason you couldn’t use the crt?

Do you keep all the old stuff to take to the scrap yard?
Have you ever added or seen a sight glass on an evaporator? Was it because the line set was very long or for another reason?
I always take off the back panel off because once you bend it it’s done.
THERMAL CAMERA - hi can you please remind me what thermal camera you use ? Thanks
You guys in america dont have high pressure switch? Because you said "care for high pressure side, when pumping the refirgant into the reciever"
5:41 right in the middle of the screen you may have missed some bubbles, could be camera.
❤
was leak on oil trap?
Discard my coment he's totally correct
14.38 question about the positive pressure. Do the gauges read atmosphere as zero or is it actual zero?
they read atmosphere as zero
How do you like this leak detector? Recent had my Dtek go out. Thinking of getting the one you are using here.
I use the same one and haven’t had an issue so far. Been using it for maybe 6 months but as of now it’s been a great investment 👍
@@alexohare thanks for the feedback
Yeah the dr82 by Fieldpiece is the leak detector I was using and I love it, check out trutechtools.com for it and if you use my affiliate code bigpicture one word at check out you get a discount and I get a small commission
@@HVACRVIDEOS What's your opinion on heated diode vs infrared? I have the dr58 and while I think it is a good leak detector, I get false positives a lot.
Does that spray work on automotive ac systems?
sure does and on any type of gas/air leaks.
Chris, you are the Man!, but you have not updated your Meme!!!! 🧔🏻 🧔🏻 🧔🏻 🧔🏻 🧔🏻 🧔🏻
Steady stream or not if there's a leak you'll have movement steady stream or not..
Yes but if you spray with the fan setting on the sprayer the big Blu fluid comes out all bubbly and if you spray with the stream setting than it goes on clear and than if you see any white bubbles they are micro leaks.....
At 8:20 was there a leak when you took the cap off? Kind of sounded like you take the cap of a bottle of carbonated water kind of pssst sound
There may have been, but he had used the leak detector before hand and detected no leak. So the king valve could have had a micro leak but then the cap sealed it and kept it from leaking out. If it was me id check the cap for leaks again after it ran for a while.
Eye protection when spraying into your face.
Was this reposted from earlier today?
Yeah I had to pull it down because the original upload had audio issues
Is this the second post of this vid
Had audio issues so he edited it and re uploaded
Very good job bro I will like to work for you what I like about the work is tools the leak detector and big blue that was half the work I have no access to those
Hey chriss why did you not use a core removal tool lol
Does the core removal tool grab the core like pliers can, or is it just kinda magnetic to hold it in the tool? He had to pull the old core out with his pliers cause it was stuck
@@legionofanon if he woulda not pumped it down at all, the pressure of the system itself woulda pushed it up the magnetic tip of the core removal and he woulda still not lost as much refrigerant lol not that he lost much anyways but thats just another way to be done i guess
@@markkapllaj5405 you didn't watch the video did you? The system had about 10 psi in it when he went down to remove the core
@@legionofanon yes cuz he pumped it down to that lol
Thats why i said "if he woulda not pumped it down at all"
Did you read my comment did you lol
And also if you ve used a core removal tool before you would know what im talking about! And you know who i ve learned from by doing that , Chriss himself , he just used a different method on this video i guess which worked out great either way!
I'm wondering, wouldn't it be more efficient to have the rack cooled by a little split system instead of a swamp cooler?
"HURRY THE BEER WALK IN COOLER IS TOO WARM". Oh wait, it's just the anheuser-busch cooler, so it doesn't matter if it's warm since no one buys anything in there...... ;-)
567 thumbs up
repost?
Seems like. I tried to watch earlier and it was unlisted
He had to fix the audio
Audio issue around the 19 min mark on the first upload and this one has it fixed
he had to reupload due to an audio error in the vid
I’m number 1 (first to “like” that is on the second posting). 🙄
“…And the sight glass is clear!” 🫡
first
you're achievement will go down in World History as the greatest moment of all mankind
Awesome video swompcooler still exists
You would think they would invest into a redundant system.
