Hitachi Sigma VRF "OPEN VALVE" mode This mode is only used on the Sigma VRF system (RAS-FSXNSE)(RAS-FSXNPE) This mode allows you to open all valves inside the outdoor unit, CH box and indoor units. This mode is especially important when carrying out a system wide pressure test, recovery and evacuation. Reducing the risk of trapped refrigerant or air behind any valves that might be closed when t...

The Sanyo Gas Powered Heat pump! What an unusual bit of kit. This is the only one I've come across in the wild and, unfortunately, is come to end of its operational life and being replaced by two Panasonic U-8MF3E8 outdoors. This system was great for customers who didn't have large power supplies and ran off natural gas, meaning it would only require a single phase supply. As you can imagine, t...
Simple refrigeration diagram for our year 1 apprentices

While I have some spare time, I've done a quick video for a year 1 apprentices to show how the refrigerant cycle works. I've tried to keep it super simple and with reference points to try and keep it understandable. It's been a while since I've drawn one, so I'm a bit rusty, so feel free to add anything or correct anything. #hvac #hvaclife #hvacservice #hvactech #hvacknowledge #ac #aircondition...

Part way through my van build. So, I'm currently in the process of racking the van and building storage. With two sliding doors, I've boxed in my two site safes, keeping all my tools safe. I've also used some of the space to add a 230v socket to change my batteries on the move. I used chalkboard paint so I could write a "to-do list" and "order list." I've also added for a bit of fun a "Legends"...

Legend cheers 👊
Nice thanks !
I have no idea why the algorithm recommended me this - but good for you, I guess
Good summary. I just DIY'd two heat pumps and used nylog on threads, the back of the flare, and on the flare itself. Many hvac techs say only put it on the front of the flare. That's rubbish. Also good for sealing the threads on line caps as a second line of defense if tha valve fails.
Thanks Alex this worked a treat. From here can reset the Administrator password and change what functions it has access to.

how many lbs of torque is overtight. For example, what if the wrong torque spec was used. Should have been 38 ft-lbs but was 55-ft-lbs. Is that within 'tolerances' or should the whole flare be re-done.
@my1960rancher manufacturers normally have a torque range. If you use oil or Nylog on the flare you will want to use the lower-range torque specs. If you have passed the range then I would recommend redoing the flare. Remember that the copper flare gets compressed when tightening the flare nut so overtightened flare nut can weaken the copper.
Thx mate 🙏🏼
Is it possible to change this panel for a smart one ? (zigbee ? wifi ?)

Hi Alex, have you come accross the older MHI hand held remote, model RKX502A001B? If so, could you do a video on how to access the error menu please 🙏
What a pratz
Thread sealant? Ur gay and British
@@andreim5973 i call it expensive thread lock.
@@andreim5973 the mating surfaces of the flare joint is important not the threads!
Why not some Teflon tape for good measure
where should i adjust the regulator . i can’t find no where what psi should i have the regulator on my tank
I used to set my nitrogen regulator to 50psi and then use the purge tool you can select "off, purge and braze"
Is this also for newer ducted units ?
Good looking tool but I've bought ot 2 times and both times it LEAKED
The pressure probes or the vacuum gauge?
can anyone help please? my system is stuck on swimming pole mode and the system wont even turn on i havent even got hot water how can i fix this? plz sum1 help😢
they do come out there is a short thread on the end of core depressor IT SCREWS IN
Yeah they do screw out I just found out the hard way 🙉
I guess that was over tight :P I do it without Torque wrench for myself but with short 20cm wrenches and you can't overtighten it like that..
Confused now, so do you have nitrogen in the system?
Yes, the system is being pressure tested with nitrogen. You can use the temperature clamp so if you get a change in ambient temperature it will compensate for the change in pressure.
I put in that password and it’s wrong
Mines reading -65 and wont stop🤦🏽♂️
Are you in space? If you use the MeasureQuick app you can zero the probes but I'd say if there reading -65 try cleaning them out with a bit of alcohol
this has to be difffernrt from the american password init?😂😂
Hey Alex! Quick one, I'm living in the US and working as a service tech in HVAC, mostly residential with some light commercial. There are little to no requirements for qualifications here, as long as someone in the company has a "Master HVAC" license. What are the requirements like in the UK??
As a minimum, you need your F-Gas (safe handling of refrigerants) this allows you to handle refrigerants legally. Most people will just have this and learn on the job. You do have options to do a 2-year college course for NVQ level 2 which is for simple refrigeration circuits and you can do an additional year for NVQ level 3 for complex refrigerant circuits. You can then do an HND or an HNC which is more university-level.
What about cross skilling Refrigeration engineers to AC. Similar theory but very different setups, controllers etc... you should do a 5 day course, that would get more people into AC 👍🏻 Talking from a supermarket chain stand point 😅
I think that's a really good point. As I'm sure you're aware the main difference between refrigeration and air conditioning is the control strategies which can easily be learnt through manufacturer training. However there is still the same shortage of refrigeration engineers so we need to also encourage the younger generation to enter the HVACR trades.
How do you remove the lock 🔐 on the home screen
No it’s not required. Without changing the back panel it’s literally a 10/15min job. Think my fastest is about 12 mins… yes I timed it😂
Mine came out I believe mine was treaded in some are just press in
Cheers mate
Thanks champion
Well, I just had to change the gasket on mine and the depressor came out without issues…

That's mean open mode allowed, indoor and outdoor all exv valve open
That's right it will also open the valves inside the CH-Box as well.
