I got a middle school I do work at that has this exact condensing unit for their auditorium 😂 soon as I saw it I was like "aye I bet that guy has a big tan K-style compressor in it"
ok I admit it, Im addicted to your vids, line of work, I guess in order to get more content Ill just have to start working for you since I live in Lebanon lol
De minimis I haven't heard that word in a very long time. You are absolutely right it would be De minimis to vent the recovery line from tank to the recovery machine. Good video.
Keep up the great work, man. I know how difficult and time consuming it is to set up cameras as you work, you have a good eye for scenes as well. Not even mentioning how valuable it is to see field experience on video like this. Big time kudos 👍👍👍
Good video ! That's Why u ALWAYS Hook up Your Guages to Both The High & Low side of a System During Recovery & Evacuation. Makes For Less Suprises , Faster Recoveries & Evacuations. 2 Hoses ARE faster than 1. 3 Hoses are Faster than 2. Hense Why in cars they use 2 Valves per cylinder. They found that 2 smaller Valves Can Flow MORE Than 1 Big valve. Basic Rule of thumb for Refrigeration system capacity is 2-3 lbs of Refrigerant / Ton. 20 ton system = 40-60 Lbs of Refrigerant. Use This as a Guide line to Figure out How many Refrigerant or Recovery Jugs You Need.
I'm going to uei college for Hvac 10 month program I'm on my 7 almost done and close to graduation your videos will help me learn more thank you so much
Great video late 90s l sprain my ankle by getting my foot caught between the cab and truck bumper while we change out the cap top l don’t work for the contractor due other matters Few years later same foot l fracture my foot l was going up a steel ladder l the third step l fell due to oil on rungs few weeks back they were changing compression on the racks .My wife when nuts due to we supposed to go on vacation on a cruise in about 6 months will l went no matter what it took.. Still to day l still sometimes getting out bed l have weak ankle feeling it been over 24 years.
If you want a faster recovery, try the push-pull method. It's great as far as liquid recovery goes, but once it's gone you should switch to regular vapor recovery. As far as the pressure left in the hoses- does that machine have a purge feature? I use a Yellow Jacket machine and after I switch over to purge and let the machine turn off, there is a minuscule amount in the hoses.
I’ve pumped anywhere from 50-200 lbs of liquid refrigerant into a circuit with that machine, in a matter of 1-2 hours, as long as it’s throttled correctly.
@@ayoutubewatcher7009 with the yellow jacket or the fieldpiece? I've used the yellow jacket to recover and recharge the chillers where I work a few times. One holds 490# of R-134a the other 400# of R-22. I don't even throttle it, the machine belongs to the facility and I've been trying to kill it so I have a legitimate reason to submit a requisition for a new Fieldpiece, but it seems to eat any amount of liquid I feed it.
Push pull works. I use it on larger systems. This is only 20 tons....so a conventional recovery isn't out of the question. I have those seedy wyes from appion and they do help. I use ¾" hoses that step down to ⅜" and ¼" I can get a lot of refrigerant really quick through them conventional or push/pull. We have brazed plate HXers for our subcooler. We recently recovered a York YK with 1500lbs and it took 1 hour for the liquid and the most of the rest of the day for vapor. Larger hoses are the key.
A few videos ago you were talking about different type of hvac skills like on call can u pls elaborate more about the difference between all and what they can consist of??
Thank you for sharing the informative video! I have a question. May I know the information of the refrigerant recovery device you use? In the video, an alarm went off at the refrigerant recovery device. Does the refrigerant recovery device you use stop working while generating an alarm when the appropriate pressure is achieved in the refrigerant recovery container? I like your video very much. I am sure you will continue to share informative information in the future. I would like to express my gratitude to you in advance:D😊
Man I done that and tore the tendons in my ankle and my knee we had to have 3 surgeries and out of work for 2 years on worker comp so be careful it easy to get hurt by accident I’ve been a service tech for 25 years that’s the worst I’ve ever got hurt working on a unit
Hey I'm curious about your work boots in this video, what brand are they and where did you purchase them? And what's your thoughts on them? I assume they are great for what you do out in the HVACR field.
Good work Zack, if you sprained your ankle, I would use a dolly to transport all the stuff honestly, not worth the body. Good lockout tag out, safety first.
I can’t wait to start my hvac career, I’m gonna graduate high school in a month and go to trade school

In Michigan, all you need is 3 yrs experience to take the state test. 2 years with a degree.
Oh to be young and full of vinegar again
@@Jfriesheatingandcooling3 years to take your epa?

Where's part 2? I love the content and I'm in East tn btw
Here in phx I return my refrigerants to my scrap yard they buy r22 for $8 lbs and 410a at $1
are u saying like metal recycling ♻️ scrap yard ?

Great content.
I have a question as to what is the leather case you have on your side of you hip? Please share
Would it make a difference to start on the liquid side, since you want to pull liquid anyways? Then open up the vapor side when liquid is low?

Are you going to release Part 2?
I bet you were thrilled to find the condenser on the ground
Do you know where I can find the square to round 14 inch duct attachment for the Ameristar package unit?
What headset are you using?
What kind of boots you rockin? You like them? My timbs at starting to fall apart
You probably should put a lock on the inside disconnect to make sure no one turns it on by mistake
Never mind you text just popped up saying you did it.
What the use life on those deier ..?
Good job Zack
You need to invest in a solenoid magnet donut for liguid line
What headset is that ? I can't stand the in ear buds. This, however, looks interesting enough to try.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
Sir how I work with you as your assistant in Hvac field. Love from Qatar 🇶🇦
Y not just put a magnet on solenoid
Cool can’t wait to see that video
Good work Zack, if you sprained your ankle, I would use a dolly to transport all the stuff honestly, not worth the body. Good lockout tag out, safety first.
Nice job 😊
I love your job Zack, let’s do some work 💯
Buen trabajo amigo, Dios te bendiga.
Good job bro
Big money job nice!
Why is your shirt opened at the back?
air
Would’ve just dumped 87 psi and not even messed with recovery
Do the right thing. Decant the refrigerant properly
Now put a lock and tag on that disconnect that you turned off. Please.
lock out.
Somebody link that Billy Madison clip about being dumber after this explanation. FFS
👍👍
