Thanks for the knowledge now i understand it helps
Good morning, I have a question for the technician, that after I disassembled the Carlyle 5h80-A194 compressor and replaced the new spare parts, namely the piston, ring, conroad, bearing conroad complete with 4 slave cylinders. After that, I tested running, but it looks like the compressor is not powered up, even 2 cylinders feel hot. I've tried opening the cylinder cover again and checking that the valve plate is installed correctly, the suction valve is in position. Then the test run again, the result is still the same. Even the capacity valve has been adjusted. clockwise or vice versa, but the compressor is still not powered. my question: can i be helped to find a solution so that the compressor can run normally and can cool down. notes. now i run compressor no two normal and cold. Thank you in advance
Thnxs more sir wonderful explain

Amazing video thank you so much
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for watching!
Sir, Could you please explain on below also, 1. What is High Suction Superheat? What will be the Problems? Solution?
2. Suction Temperature high and low limits and what problems it may cause?
3. Discharge Temperature limits and problems?
4. Reason for liquid or knocking?
Thanks alot Sir.
1.
High suction superheat is when you have the suction gas coming back to the compressor and it is too warm. If it is too warm, it is not going to call the compressor down like it should and the compressor might overheat and tripped on internal overload.
2. Just like I said, before if you have high temperature on the suction line. It will affect the compressor the valves because of the high superheat may overheat, specially the discharge valve and you could destroy those discharge valves. I'm not sure what you mean by love limits. But if the suction pressure is too low, your compression ratio will be high and that will work the compressor very hard then again, overheat or destroy a compressor.
3. If your temperature is high on the high side, you are going to damage the discharge valves up and they will leak and because of that you compressor is not going to move refrigerant like it should. We need to make sure the compressor stays full so it will last a long time.
3. Typically liquid came back to the compressor is going to give you the liquid knocking you were talking about. If you do not have superheat, then that will cause this problem you're talking about and kill a compressor. That's why you must have the proper amount of superheat.
I hope this answers your questions. You should take a look at my webpage, airconacademy.com, where I have some courses and explain all of this. Thank you for watching and for sending these messages over to me. Good luck out there!

Any vids on compound cooling? Started a new job at Walmart and some of their stores have compound compressors and I need to familiarize myself with them
I'm sorry, I am not sure what you mean by compound compressors? Are you talking about when you have multiple compressors and multiple evaporators? If that is the case I have a video on EPR valves. And how they are used to maintain different pressures and temperatures in evaporators. I'm not sure if this is what you were talking about. If you get a chance please let me know if that is what you were talking about or explain to me what you mean by compound cooling so I could possibly make a video of it. Thank you for your question!
Good teacher
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment!
Nice video. What is the point with having a unloader valve on a 1 piston compressor, wouldnt it not be easier or cheaper to start/stop the compressor when the load in the room changes?
HA HA!!! I never tough of that about my video!!! In the drawing I am using, or showing a single piston compressor, just to make it easy for everyone to see how it works. But in reality, you are absolutely correct. You would never do that unless you are trying to keep the motor from starting and stopping. A long time ago, and I am talking about 30 years ago or so I did see that at one point. But that was the only time that I saw it, they were stopping the compressor from doing work, instead of stopping the entire motor. These days you would only use an unloader with two or three heads. And you would unload one or two heads and then shut the compressor off when it was satisfied and the last head would not use an unloader. But in the video I am just showing how the unloader works. It was interesting that you picked up on that. Thank you for watching!
@@AirConAcademy That was also my first intuition! Thanks for the answer again!! Keep up the good work. Just to be clear this is cind a the same principale when you are in the field and people are using the therm “the scroll is lifting” when having a digital unloader valve right on a scroll compressor?
@@cfcdomino on scroll compressors typically they are set up to operate at 100% or 67% capacity. There is a disc inside that rotates and it opens up some ports to reduce the capacity so the system can dehumidify. As far as I know when the scroll lifts is because there is a problem and it is doing that so that I can bring the temperature down, or to help liquid get through. I'll have to look into it but I don't think they lift to unload. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching!
i appreicate your knowledge
Thank you!!!! I am glad I can help!!!
Hi Sir, Why is unloading important when the compressor starts?
Can you please explain.
Yes, it is important when the compressor starts because of the motor that drives the compressor. If the compressor starts fully loaded, it will be hard on the electric motor that drives the compressor. But if it is unloaded, then it is so much easier for the motor to start up. It has nothing to do with the compressor itself but with the electric motor that is driving the compressor. I hope this explains it for you. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching.!!!!
@@AirConAcademy Thanks alot Sir.
So when my thermostat says "Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3" it's referencing how many unloaders are open? How do I determine whether an unloader is energized open or energized closed?
On older compressors, yes! It will tell you whether the compressor is loaded or unloaded and how many stages are actually doing work. On the newer ones than me adjust the speed of the motor/compressor! But if you have unloaders, you will have to hook up gauges and look at the pressures. So if your suction pressure drops when the the unloader has a magnetic field. Some manufacturers will energize the coil to be loaded. Others will deenergized the coil to be loaded. But you have to look at the pressures so you can make sure which way the manufacturer is doing it. If your pressure drop when there's a magnetic field, or the unloader solenoid is energized, then that means that they are energizing the solenoid for that to be loaded! Or in other words doing work. I hope this answers your question. And thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
Thanks you so much sir 🙏
Thank you and thank you for watching!!!!
Very informational!! Thanks.
Very nice explanation sir and thanks
Had one small query that what if the external solenoid loaded/unloaded is not used for compressor and all pistons are working loaded and will cut off only when the room temp reaches the desire temp set point by the LP and HP cut out, will it work normal if we remove the solenoid in emergency can we make it direct in some situations.
Yes if your compressor is fully loaded when the solenoid is de-energized and you remove the solenoid, then the compressor will always be loaded and it will operate without any problems. that is ok. thank you for your question.
He is Ambidextrous ! :P
HA HA Yes I am thanks!!!
@aircon please advise on Walk in Freezer maintenance in 55 degrees Celsius outside temperature
Wow! That is very hot! In my area we do not see temperature is that high! Near WASHINGTON DC. My suggestion is to make sure the condenser coil is clean, this way you get rid of as much heat as possible as easy as possible. Another thing I would suggest, and this is typically not done but it is some thing I have found that helps in very high temperatures, that is to run the liquid line and the suction line together and have them insulated. By doing this you are sub cooling the refrigerant even more before it gets to the metering device and you are keeping the refrigerant sub cool. The problem with this is that you will have to monitor the superheat at the compressor to make sure you are not overheating the compressor. As you run the liquid line and suction line together they need to be very well insulated to keep them away from the heat from the ambient air. One other thing I would check to make sure that I do have plenty of airflow on the condenser side so that I can remove as much heat as possible and keep the high side pressure low. I hope this helps and thank you for sending the question.
Great explanation mate, I have a learning disability and that made sense to me, thank you so much
I'm glad you like the video and I am glad that it made sense to you! Keep watching the videos and maybe the other ones will help some more! Good luck out there!
How to measure ton in compressor in hvac?
The unit data plate can sometimes help you with that or The manufacturer can tell you that, . BUT out in the field we always said one horsepower is one ton of refrigeration. That gets you close. i am sorry we usually just get the exact replacement and it solves the problem, of guessing.
Very good, thank you
To check if you have power at a solenoid you can also rest your amp meter on the magnet and see if it is drawing amps. Thank you for the video!
Thank you!!!
I think you're wrong.
there's no rod to push the suction valve. when the solenoid opens the port, discharge gas goes to the suction side through the opened port.
in fact, the suction valve is opened by the gas that getting into the cylinder when the piston goes down.
the solenoid opens a port only that connects the discharge side to the suction side.
Am I missing some point?
Mahdi Shahsavari hi, there are several ways of unloading compressors. You are correct in the sense that the newer compressors do everything by controlling pressure and opening or closing the suction port. But over the years there have been many ways of doing this. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Could you please explain the oil flow in the compressor where there is oil pump to maintain oil pressure.
What could be the differential oil pressure in the system and how it is maintained? Basically please try explain all the points related oil pressure and oil flow. Thanks alot.
Oil is pulled out of the oil sump at the bottom of the compressor, the oil pump that is at the front of the compressor will pump it through the crankshaft, because the crankshaft is hollow, the crankshaft has holes in it where the bearings are, so as the pump pulls the oil out of the oil sump it pumps it into the shaft and through the holes and it lubricates the bearings as it lubricates the oil falls back down to the oil sump to be used again.
I hope this explains it. Thank you for watching!
@@AirConAcademy Thank you so much Sir.
Do we have loader & unloader which are not operated by solenoid but operated by pressure
Yes, on some compressors, they use the oil pressure to control the unloader. The idea is that when the suction pressure drops, the oil pressure will drop and that tells the compressor that you have a very low load. Then it unloads the compressor. When they oil pressure goes back up it loads the compressor back up because it thinks it needs more cooling. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching!
Awesome explanation! Wait a minute though, are you seriously ambidextrous and writing backwards?
HA HA HA yes I do that in class to mess with the students!!! I'm glad you like the video and thank you for watching!
Very well explained. One question, when unloaders are energized and the port to suction is open all the time, doesn't this raise the low side pressure? Meaning that all that gas is flowing backwards to the evap?
Basically, all valves to and from the compressor have to be closed in order for psi to build or get higher. This is because the compressor takes for example 10 ounces of space and compresses it into 2 ounce of space. If the suction side valve is open and the piston is moving up and down I have all that space from the compressor piston all the way back to the evaporator coil. This can be for example 100 ounces. The compressor now with the unloader operational is taking 110 ounces of space and compressing it into 102 ounces. This will barely raise the psi in the system and wont affect the flow of refrigerant.
10 ounces down to 2 ounces causes refrigerant to go from 10 psi to 100 psi
110 ounces down to 2 ounces causes refrigerant to go from 10 psi to 11 psi.
If you think about that, 110 psi compared to 11 psi, the discharge side of the compressor is so much higher than the suction side. Basically this difference in pressure wont matter to the flow of refrigerant and your system will work. Even if you were able to have some flow of refrigerant from the suction side to the evaporator there would be a check valve installed on the system that would make sure that you have the proper flow.
Try to think about the volume that the compressor has when both valves are closed and how much it can compress vs when the unloader forces it open and you have a large area/volume that cant really be compressed.
Thanks for the information. Every now and then I come across unloaders. I understand the concept of what their function is but was not sure how I would go about troubleshooting if I came across a bad unloader. Knowing how your pressures regulate unloaded and loaded helps especially when there are 3 or 4 unloaders on a comp. Constant cycling of the compressor would probably indicate that the unloaders aren't doing their job.
Yes, that could be an indication. You should check to see if the unloaders are unloading before the compressor shuts off. I mean it should be fully unloaded before it shuts off. Unloaders work great and it minimizes the constant starting up and shutting off of the compressor.
What time solenoid operate .
So compressor becomes unloaded
From where it get signals.
Is it operate by temprature setting
There are many different ways to energize and de-energize the solenoid. It can be done with a two or three stage thermostat. It can also be controlled by suction pressure or oil pressure. As the low decreases the suction pressure will drop and the oil pressure will also drop by monitoring this I have seen that they have controlled the loading and unloading of compressors. The easiest way is like I mentioned above by using a thermostat. As the load increases the thermostat would load another bank of cylinders doing more cooling, as the heat low drops it would unload the cylinder so that it is not doing that much work. And do less cooling. I hope this makes sense. I hope this explains it to you. Good luck.
Very good!
Thank you!!!! I am glad you liked it!!!
This is amazing! Very knowledgeable n good explanation! U r my great instructor 👍can u explain why compressor need pressure equalized ？please!
Thank you so much! Thank you for your compliments and thank you for watching. I am not sure what you mean when you say pressure equalized? I believe you are talking about the pipe that is normally connecting two compressors when they run tandem Lee like in a chiller? One of the reasons they do this is because of the oil. As the compressor runs, it will pump some of the oil out because it mixes in with the refrigerant. As the suction Gas comes back, the oil is mixed in with it, and it would collect in only one of the compressors, if we did not have this equalization pipe between the two compressors. I hope this answers your question!!! And again, thank you for watching!
Thanks Sir
Great video! When adding refrigerant to a system, the compressor should be loaded. Typically, on an 06 e/d Carlyle, should the unloaders be ran in or out to be loaded?
Yes, that is the only way to get the charge correct. To make sure the system is fully loaded. I don't know how your unloaders are set up but make sure that the unit is calling for full cooling so that the unloaders will be loaded. You will see that the pressures will change. The suction pressure will drop and discharge pressure will increase. Only then will you be able to get a charge correct. Hope this helps.
احسنت very wonderful video
Thank you! I'm glad you like the video! Thank you for watching!
Thanx a lot.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
I have an 06D compressor that will constantly have to pump itself down in the off cycle, like the valves are bad. Could the unloader be stuck causing this issue as well? If so how would I diagnose that?
It could be the unloader, it could be leaky valves, it could be a blown gasket. It could also be a leaky solenoid valve on the liquid line. From your description it sounds like you have a pump down system. Which means that it would have a solenoid valve on the liquid line and it would be the low pressure switch to cut the compressor off. One thing you could do is close off the suction valve to the condensing unit and see if the pressure increases or if it needs to pump itself down. If it pumps itself down then the problem could be with a compressor. If it does not pump itself down then it could be a leaky liquid line solenoid valve. Try this and hope that this will help you figure out if it is a leaky liquid line solenoid valve or if the problem is in the compressor. Good luck I hope you can figure it out!
The one you told about 24v electric type of solenoid valve,need to ask something,means how 24v supply is given n removed,who decides...means how this happens
24 voltage is sent to the coil and that is what energizes and de-energizes the coil. But this voltage is controlled to various ways. One way is through a thermostat that has several cooling stages. Meaning that stage one during the compressor on and stage two will load and unload the unload. At other buildings it is done through the electronics that control the temperature throughout the building. I have also seen it where the unloader works off of suction pressure and oil pressure. So as the suction pressure drops they know they need less cooling and they unload, the same with the oil pressure when the oil pressure drops they know they need less cooling and the unload. It is hard to give you just one quick answer as to how that is controlled. Thank you for watching that question!
Hey brother, I just worked on a bus with a '05G compressor. It runs on r134a There are two valves located on it. Do you know if they need to be turned all the way in for it to be open or do they need to be turned all the way out for it to be open? And also what should be the running pressure at 100° f? The charts do not make sense because I compare it with other r134a compressors on smaller vehicles and they are way different? The '05g compressor is running at 70 psi on the low suction side and 225 on the high side at 100° f
The two valves you are talking about are they suction service valve and the discharge service valve. Those valves need to be opened all the way to where it is called back seated. When they are all the way to the back, you will not have access, or you will not be able to read precious when you hook up gauges. If you want to pressures at the compressor then, they should be with the mid position or cracked. That means that they are off of the backseat. If you close the valves completely, then they are considered front seated, and the compressor will not run because there will be no flow of refrigerant through it. Those pressures are giving me seem to be pretty close. Do you have a site glass anywhere on the liquid line or on the receiver/dryer? Do you want to make sure you have enough subcooling and with the bus running a different speed your pressures are going to change. As the bus speeds up the engine wraps up, which is going to turn that compressor faster and change your pressures. So you need to make sure you have sub cooling coming out of the condenser. Usually there's a site glass somewhere so you can make sure you have a full color of liquid going to the metering device. I hope this answers your question. Good luck and thank you for watching!
@@AirConAcademy awesome man! I really appreciate you explaining this to me because this compressor is totally different from a regular little automobile compressor being that this '05g has six Pistons I will make a video of the RPMs of it running and show you the gauge pressures. I noticed the high pressure gauge was bouncing?
@@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL great! If you do that, I would love to see it! You can send it to me to my email address. jh@airconacademy.com
Hi
Can you come with BITZER unloading with electrical control explanation.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will see what I can do! And thank you for watching!
You are number one
Can you tell me about Air compressor have unloader but is the that unloader work at same this operation or just discharge the air out to surrounding when unloading time(start and stop the compressor)?
Thank you and I'm glad you like the video! Air compressors they load and unload to keep the electric motor from drawing high amperage. Every time an electric motor starts up it draws high amperage and that cost money in electricity. Plus it puts stress on the motor. So it is best to just unload the air compressor so that the air is not being compressed and being dumped out so that you don't have the start and stop on air compressors. I hope this helps and again thank you for watching!
Sir unloader mechanism is different for both air and refrigration compressor ??
It is different, on most air compressors they will turn the compressor off when it reaches the desired pressure. The unloader valve will allow the air that is on top of the cylinder to be discharge so the compressor does NOT start under a load. on other air compressor they have a clutch that will disengage when it reaches set pressure so the electric motor runs but the compressor itself is not running or doing work. This is done to minimize the starting and stopping of the electric motor.
Very nice but i need control wiring diagrame for this unloder
I Will try to make a video for the unloader wiring
Thanks very much...Iam interested in repairing and rewinding hermetic and semi-hermetic compressors can we be good friends or partners
Hi! I am not sure where you are, or maybe I should say what country you are in. I have found that here in the United States labor is so expensive rewinding and rebuilding her medical compressors is not profitable. Semi hermetic compressors are a bit easier but also not very profitable unless you are a large company. I have only seen one company within the Washington DC, metropolitan area that rebuilds hermetic compressor's, but they only do 20 ton and above. They have a very good shop and I have to admit they do make some money. When I was in the Navy I used to rebuild compressors, but they were open compressors. Unfortunately I think I am more into the teaching part of the business now. I have been doing this since 1979. I think if you set things up properly you could make it work. I like I said, labor is so expensive! Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Tnx for sharing knowledge
My compressors won't go 2nd and 3rd stage any ideas?
The unloaders on some manufacturers are energized for them to be loaded and on others they have to be de-energized, or another words no power going to them for them to be loaded and doing work. Depending on the age of the unit like an older units, they could be controlled through the thermostat. Then they were controlled through a Honeywell controller and these days they're controlled through circuit boards or computers that control the building temperature. I would start by looking at the schematic and see where the wires go to from the unloaders that are on the compressor. By tracing them back, you can see what is turning them on and off. I wish I could give you more information, but if they're not loading at the moment, you could check to see if they have voltage going to the unloader if they do, you can undo the voltage wires in that should load it up. And you could run it temporarily until you figure out how they are being turned on and off. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching. If you have any other questions, please shoot them my way!
i have a question sir. the chiller that i operated now got unloading during midnight. is it okay when i turning off the chiller? or stay it running?
Yes! It is OK if it unloads during the night. It should load and unload automatically depending on the heat load. In other words if you do not need as much cooling it should unload and it will cost less to run but maintain the proper temperature. If you do not need it it is OK to turn it off. But it will automatically adjust to maintain the proper temperature/setpoint. Thank you for watching and thank you for sending in your question!
Will an unloaded cylinder head be hotter than a pumping one since there's no cold return refrigerant flowing through?
It will not be that much warmer! If the cylinder head is hot you could have a blown gasket and hot gas is going into the low pressure side. How are your pressures? Do you have a high suction and low discharge pressure? This is one way to tell if you possibly have a leak. Good luck!
I appreciate your time and effort.
I have a question please yesterday I had question in my head that what would happen to a compressor if it runs on negative pressure for example ( low pressure switch incorrectly set) so that the compressor below atmospheric pressure runs.
many greetings from Germany
YES!!!! The low pressure switch is either not set properly or it is bypassed. make sure it is not happening because that will kill a compressor very easily!!! it will run with no refrigerant gas to cool it and it will fail
How scro compresso lod and unload
Dinush Kumara Thank you, and ELO see if I can do a video on loading and unloading scroll compressor’s. But typically what they do is they have a bypass from the discharge back to the suction, or they have a plate that rotates inside and unloads down to 67% capacity. Thank you for your question!
Sir I completed 2Year course of refrigeration and air conditioner. Now I want to know about higher studies of it
My name is Mohammed Anas from India.
I am looking to doing an online class soon and if you subscribe to my channel you will get a notification. I know you completed 2 years of education, I hope my videos are helping you!!!
how to adjust a manual unloader no solenoid valve my unit is a 30 ton and I need to adjust to 20 ton..
Some unloaders are built into the compressor. Look on the side or the front of the compressor there may be a capacity controller on there. What that is is a box that is part of the compressor there is a small adjustment valve stem under a cap. By adjusting this you can adjust it so that you can have it load or unload depending on the pressures. Most unloaders are going to be electrical like I am describing in the video. There's also a possibility that you may not have any type of unloader on your compressor. But take a look around the compressor see if it's in the front of the compressor or on the sides. Without looking at it it is difficult for me to tell you much more. Good luck!
Sir does the unloader always energize when compressor is running or only energize when starting.
Thank you for your question! We cannot say that the unloader, is energize when starting. Some manufacturers energize the unloader to load the compressor and others will deenergize the unloader to load the compressor. I suppose the correct way to put it is that when the compressor starts up, the compressor needs to be unloaded so that it will draw less inrush current and it will be easier to start up. Just remember, the compressor must be unloaded on start up and some manufactures energize the solenoid to have the compressor loaded and others will deenergize the solenoid to have the compressor loaded. Thank you for your question and I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching!
Hi Sir you forgot about video of
Oil failure pressure switch
You promised
I'm sorry, I am just very busy and I do need to get busier and make some more videos! Thank you for reminding me! I will not forget!
If the unloaders stop working can it cause a system to go off on high head pressure?
No, it should not cost it to go out on high head. It will just make the compressor work at its maximum capacity, which is it's original design. if you're having a system that is going out on high head, check your condenser and make sure it is clean he might even want to use a flashlight to look in between the fins, make sure that someone has not replaced the condenser fan motor with a slower, running fan, make sure that the condenser fan is rotating and the proper direction for the fan blade, make sure he has not been overcharged or that there's a restriction. I hope this helps. And thank you for watching!
Great video buddy , you help me understand my job and I just wanted to say thank you💪🏻
Thank you for the wonderful comment! That's why I do these to help you guys out there. Thank you for watching!
Oil are going to discharge valve..... explain...y is that so
I am not quite sure what you're asking, oil and refrigerant will always mix. There will be oil mist inside of the compressor, and as the refrigerant gets compressed and pumps out, then some of the oil will be pumped out also and there will be a slight coating of oil everywhere. If you have excess oil in the crankcase, you might get large amounts of oil leaving the compressor which could be bad. Also if liquid comes back to the compressor that could make oil go up to the cylinder and out the discharge valve. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for messaging me and thank you for watching!
Thank u💚
Good explanation.
I used to work with these compressors, Carrier model O5G 6 cylinders in motor coaches. They were belt driven by the bus engine.
When the unloader coil on a head. was electrically energized, those cylinders were unloaded.
Lots of guys were confused by this.
You could actually feel each side of the outer heads and sense a temperature difference from one side to the other. Low side, high side.
I would watch the needles on the gauges "jump" when the unloader went from energized to densrgized.
Yes, you are correct. A lot of guys get confused with the loading and unloading and with the pressures rising and falling as it loads and unloads. I am glad he liked the video. Thank you for watching!
Sir , I appreciate all your videos , very informative
Noel Baracho Thank you! I hope they help.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You make great videos
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comments, and I hope to make some more soon!
Thanks You. I have seen a solenoid upon compressor bitzer but is connected with tube. Too is a discharger ?
I am not sure without actually looking at it, but it sounds like it may still be part of an unloader. There are so many different configurations out there with a short description it is hard to tell. I'm sorry
@@AirConAcademy thank you.
If you are fully Charge in 30 ton all ..what happen if 10 ton only running what about the pressure of the system it is coming high or we need to release some refrigerant or no
This is a complicated question. But let me try to make it short. When the compressor is unloaded the compressor will do less work like you said and the pressure will go up. When this happens the evaporator will do less work and because of that we are doing less cooling. At the same time the high side pressure drops because you're not pumping as much gas out. When the suction goes up and the discharge drops they work together to keep the system running properly. The refrigerant will stay in the system of course but most of the systems will have a TXV and because of that, the compressor will not flood and the evaporator will keep the proper amount of refrigerant in it. I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you still have questions.
@@AirConAcademy thanks for your answer sir. base on my experience regarding the tandem compressor, 2 compressor in one system.. if one compressor is running and charge for normal pressure low side ang high side... if the 2nd compressor is running or both compressor 1 & 2 is running suction pressure is drop and high pressure rise , then if you add refrigerant the in normal refrigerant charge for the system... and the one compressor is cut- off automatically and the other compressor is still running suction pressure is rise because the time both compressor is running I added a refrigerant and after cut -off one compressor the pressure is rise if one compressor is running suction pressure is increased..
I think it is same happen for undloader and tandem compressor..
I hope you understand my commen I am not good in English grammar...
@@Denzkitv yes, I understand your comment. And the way you described it it is correct. When you have unloaders the same thing happens as when you have two compressors in tandem. That is why the system has to be fully loaded, meaning the unloader has to be loaded so that you can get the correct pressures and you can figure out the correct superheat and sub cooling. Yes, you describe it correctly. So for charging, make sure you have a good heat load in the room that has been called and that you have the compressor fully loaded. Let me know if this makes sense to you. Good luck!
Beautiful, thank you for your sharing
Amazing lesson, thank you.
Thank you so much! And thank you for watching!
our unloader starts with 24vdc. after i press start on d compressor, what happen 2 d unloader? does it close n open on piston operation until it reach the high pressure and open up to the discharge pressure?
ronnie corpin Typically the compressor will start with that cylinder unloaded. Meaning that the piston will move but it would not do any compressing or work. It does that to keep the amp draw down and so that it is easier on the compressor motor. After a few seconds some manufacturers will remove the volts from the unloader so that it will load up and the valves will start to do some work, meaning the cylinder will actually be compressing refrigerant. You will notice the suction pressure is going to drop and discharge pressure is going to rise. When you do not need as much cooling, it will add the 24 V DC like in your case so it will stop the compression action. Most places/compressors use 24 V AC.
@@AirConAcademy thanks. our compressor run unloaded den a few seconds around 45secs, it trips. just loaded it with freon and still trips. haysss...
ronnie corpin are you saying the compressor runs for about 45 seconds? And then the compressor tripped and shuts off? Are you saying that you added refrigerant to the system? Or are you saying the pressures increase?
@@AirConAcademy the compressor stops running after 45secs...and we have a high temp discharge of 190 deg F. also an alarm saying high condenser temp after adding freon.
@@ronniec8370 You probably have nitrogen or other non condensables in the system. Make sure any liquid line solenoids are open manually
Very nicely explained Sir thank you
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Excellent explanation ! Thank you very much !
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
Today I understand 100% loading and unloading of compressor
Thank you so much! I really appreciate comments like this! It took me a while to make this video because I do all of this myself. I'm glad I could help! Good luck out there! And keep learning!
It's very comfortable to understand you sir.. thank you so much
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment!
sir i hope you could include
next time a topic about liebert hiross ac
Let me see what I ca do!!! Thank you
Very simple clear and nice way explained thanku lot
Thank you!!!! I am glad you liked the video!!!
why cant we just off the compressor instead of unloading?
By unloading we can do less cooling the needed and at the same time control the humidity. Depending on your climate this is one of the main reasons we use this. So we can control the humidity and make the occupied space more comfortable. Thank you for your question!
@@AirConAcademy Thank you for your explanation, i have a Digital Scroll Tandem Emerson Compressors, do you have any video's or article how unloading works in this? i am pretty sure it is different mechanism than the Great video you have posted. would be really helpful. Thanks
Super explanation.Appreciated
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching!
I understand the heat load determines if the loaders are energised or not. What are some ways this happens? Is it communication with a room thermostat? Is it recording discharge air and is trying to maintain set point? I’m sure there’s a lot of ways to control them, but what are the most common?
Thanks for the videos you are a great teacher
Great sir it's awesome video knowledge for technicians
Thank you!!!
Very helpfull. Really. Thank you
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful!
Very knowledgeable thank you
I am glad you like it!!!
Really it was amazing now only i knew that roll of loading and unloading from the system really great thank you so much
Thank you for your comment! And I'm glad I could help! Thank you for watching!
Wow...you're not in 2-ton residential split-systems anymore with this one. :)
I have worked on small and large equipment. I want to pass some information along to all different parts of this field. I like going from a large unit onto a small through the wall or window unit. It keeps me sharp.
@@AirConAcademy
Yes indeed.
Naturally there's a lot of residential split system info "out there", and then there's the "roof top commercial", but the videos drop off when it gets to "industrial strength".
I bet there's a good sized audience for bigger systems if you want to make them. Every "two tonner" likes to think about moving up to bigger leagues.
@@hg2. that is a good idea! Thank you. I will see what I can do.
Thank you very much sir!
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
