    This is the best explanation I have come across on RUclips on adding refrigerant to a central AC system. Thank you. I am a retired electrical engineer; I designed radio & TV stations, microwave links, and performed human exposure to radio frequency energy safety studies. As an engineer I like to understand other systems, so have been watching RUclips HVAC videos. It's given me a better understanding of my home's HVAC system, and what the tech is doing during annual check up visits.

    I looked around for someone that posted the "inner workings" of the AC gauges/manifold valve. This visualization is EXACTLY what I was looking-for. Pictures are truly worth a thousand words. The "logic" for proper usage is now thoroughly ingrained in my brain! A Big Thank You goes out to you!!

    The BEST, there is no one of, just the BEST video about the gauge use in RUclips!!! Thanks man! I thought the valve is for connecting to the gauge but actually it controls the connection between suction and charging! If I understand this then everything is understood! Other videos barely mentions this. You got to admit that very FEW people know how to teach!!!

    Purge air in the service line of the manifold at the refrigerant jug after purging at the manifold on the liquid and suction line. Make sure you have the red or liquid line CLOSED and suction line open at the manifold open prior to purging the service port or yellow line. Aside from the purging of the service line, this is an excellent instruction for charging.

    2:38 purging hoses. Would it be ok / better to leave the loose connections nearest to the condensing unit instead, and purge by opening the valve of the jug? This should be able to purge the manifold too, instead of just the hoses.

  • @jungapo2
    @jungapo2 4 года назад

    if you will use an adapter between the vacuum pump and refrigerant tank or can, you can avoid purging the yellow hose during the charging process. doing so will insure 100% vacuum of the unit that is being charge with refrigerant. you can buy this adapter from amazon or make one. it is like a y or t setup where you can close the line to the vacuum pump after you reached the correct vacuum reading. also by doing so it avoid wasting refrigerant and releasing it to atmosphere. i suggest all hvac, refrigeration, and appliance repair technicians should use this type of adapter setup. i have read something that even r134a refrigernat is not safe to the ozone layer of the earth atmosphere.

    @RonWalkerHVACTrainingSolutions  10 лет назад +16

    With blended refrigerants, like R410a, you must charge upside down (with liquid). You should have a metering device inline with your charging hoses so you don't flood the compressor. With R22 you should charge right side up.

    • @johnaccer4855
      @johnaccer4855 9 лет назад

      Refrigerant 410A is so close to being a true azeotrpe it's not necessary to charge it only like as a liquid. Most guys use it almost the same as R22.
      The refer just does not fractionate (fractionize) like other blends.
      

    • @johnaccer4855
      @johnaccer4855 9 лет назад +2

      Hence the need for a metering device is not needed. I use it mostly in liquid and I have no problem meeting with my manifold gauge. I think that's the way it is with most guys. I taught for 15 years and I understand the dilemma of presenting curriculum material and balancing it out with practical application.

    • @johnaccer4855
      @johnaccer4855 9 лет назад

      it can be charged with comp running or no.
      an experienced guy can do it either or.

    Great job, of explaining how it should be done properly, I had a new set of gauges and didn’t have 100% clear explanation on which way my lines should be hooked up? my AC gauge lines has a 45° curve in the fitting and the other ends are straight, and on the yellow line on 1 end it does not have a valve in it, wasn’t sure if it should go towards the gauge or away from the gauge? Thanks

  • @oneundecided

    Thank you for this video, I am new to this business and just want to recharge my AC. I just purchased the manifold gauge and noticed that it has two inputs to the flexible houses for each color, yellow, blue, and green. These extra inputs are located just behind the bottom inputs. Do you know the purpose of these? Also, there is some air left inside of the manifold gauge in case I use your purging technique, do you think it will be easier to purge the system from the red and blue housed into the yellow line before e it is connected to the refrigerant bottle? In this case, the valves need to be opened.

  • @kennethlobo4420

  • @peternichols9233
    @peternichols9233 6 лет назад +1

    Question: I thought before charging a system you have to pull a vacuum first. If this is the case, how does bleeding the lines help? It seems like any air in the lines would be pulled directly into the system as soon as they were connected...

    @radcon821 10 лет назад +1

    Very well explained, I only have one question though. Would you not turn your refrigerant drum upside down? or leave it valve side up? in other words valve side down or up? Only reason I ask is b/c I seen a service tech turning one upside down once and didn't really understand why he was doing that.

    • @RonWalkerHVACTrainingSolutions
      @RonWalkerHVACTrainingSolutions  10 лет назад +2

      radcon821 Good question, you have to charge blended refrigerants in the liquid state (upside down drum). Shoot me an email at hvactrainingsolutions@gmail.com and I'll explain more. It is too long for a RUclips reply.

    @markyakubovsky3380 2 месяца назад

    So how would you purge the yellow charge/vacuum line if you only wanted to check the system pressures without adding refrigerant? I am trying to figure out about the air in the yellow line when the refrigerant is transferred from the manifold back into the system. I dont want to suck the air in the charge line into the system with the refrigerant. Thx

  • @nirmalmuthugala2272

    Does it matter whether you first connect your lines with the system off and once they are connected you turn on the unit to purge the lines or should the unit be running when you connect the lines and then proceed to purge the lines?

    Can I hook up my gauges , open the bottle then untwist the valves up at the body until I get refrigerant, or is is necessary to crack them a little first. The reason I am asking is because the unit I am working on has king valves so I have to front seat the valves.
