⛔⛔No gas and go here⛔⛔ Thanks for sharing, your videos are appreciated I watch a lot of catering and refrigeration videos and you give the best technical explanation, that's from catering and refrigeration technician with over 30yrs experience. 👊
You have good technique. I had been recovering freon to see how low it is or if a restriction has occurred. I'll start following your procedure. I've been in the field for 12 years. Never too late to improve. Thank you
What’s awesome finding, even having so small leak, thank you, I’ve been watching all your videos, always learning from your videos, I’m way more confident doing my troubleshooting, thank God bless you and your family.
Good to see you back online. Know that your original intended audience is your own staff and very much appreciate your sharing. I got the AAS HVACR degree from community college in 1990 but remained a bartender and later F&B manager for far too long. Finally got the EPA five years ago and have been taking care of most of the equipment at my facility for the past five years. Davejohnsonnola
Brother your videos are amazing I’m new In work like this I’m 26 I’m from Chicago. I’ve learned fairly skit working Rn for a service company. Going out diagnosing. I would love if you can help me read wiring diagrams like you I’d pay you. I didn’t go to school god gave me a chance and I’m sticking with it. I would love to be able to trouble shoot like you.
I’m thinking of doing some TH-cam lives on Saturdays breaking down schematics. My computer I was making videos on broke in the summer so I’ll see if the boss can get me a new one.
@@REFRIGERATIONKITCHENEQTECH awe man I would love that an appreciate it I wouldn’t even mind paying you to show me knowledge big brother. I just want to be great out here
4:50 - What would the pressures do here while adding refrigerant if there had been a restriction? I’m guessing the low would go back into a vacuum and the high wouldn’t change much? Is that right? Great video, BTW. Thanks.
EPA allows nitrogen pressurization with a trace gas for leak checks, which can then be vented .When you recover the full charge with nitrogen mixed in and what do you do with it?
So did you leave the refrigerant in the system and add nitrogen just so you can have enough pressure to find a small leak? And then you will recover the contaminated refrigerant?
Love ur troubleshooting skills. I have a question about line taps. Is there a place u dont put them on like discharge line. Trying to get a better sense on location for putting a line Tap on a sealed system if needed. Any ideas?
There is a stubby that comes out of the compressor, that is where you would hook up your low side. On the filter dryer, it will also have a stubby that has been pinched off. Attach the line tap there for you high side pressure. Do not leave the line taps on the system, they are just for troubleshooting and must be removed.

“Low charge” is not the problem. It’s a symptom of an actual real issue. Hate when guys just say “oh it’s a low charge just give it some gas...” 🙄

We are all learning everyday
Thank you for the video man. You explain everything so well it’s greatly appreciated. Nice break down and good job finding that small leak.

Awesome, thank you!
love the way you explain and cover everything.

You are a Pro Sir. Thank you for the informative video.
I know this I a few years old but good info. My only question is how exactly were you able to determine the system was 2.5 oz low?

As usual well explained great video.
Great video 📹 as always 👍. Thanks for taking the time to show n educate.

How do you remove leak detector from schrader valves ? I usually use cap without gasket , then soap cap .
hello, i would like the brand and model of your leak detector. cause in your video it works really well
Dtek3
how do you know what to add for ambient for the coil?
EPA allows nitrogen pressurization with a trace gas for leak checks, which can then be vented .When you recover the full charge with nitrogen mixed in and what do you do with it?
When you do the leak search with nitrogen, you add the nitrogen with the refrigerant in it, like mixingit? Or just nitrogen?
We need a trace amount of refrigerant in the system so that the leak detector can pick up the leak
So did you leave the refrigerant in the system and add nitrogen just so you can have enough pressure to find a small leak? And then you will recover the contaminated refrigerant?
Recover and leave a trace amount then add the nitrogen. Then purge the nitrogen to the air once the leak was located

Thankyou my friend from the north appreciate the feedback.
Not sure what you’re doing with the pressures . Where are you getting 8”mercury from?
Good find thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing
The Stratic is a great leak detector. Shows the ppm
I wanted to buy it but couldn’t justify the extra couple hundred dollars for that feature. I am looking to get an H10 next and comparing them.
Those true Evaps they leak all the time. I have replaced many of those..
Yup
Great video
The leak detector you had originally which was that one? Which one you find more accurate the stratus or dtek 3?
I don’t have a stratus, only dtek 3. It finds 95% of leaks. For the last 5% the H10 is my go to.
Thank you for the video!
👍
In the TRUE video your head pressure was Ambient temp + 15F, in this video it was + 30F?
Good sir
👍
do u recomend TRUE coolers?
great job
What type of cooler would this be considered? It's not a reach in.
Model is TUC, true under counter cooler. So it’s considered an under counter
👍👍👍
Thank you
R u charging with liquid or vapor?
R134 vapour, R404a liquid
DTEK 3 is the best
Micro leak
👍
Leaks don't fix themselves as you proven in your vidios, they will call back and then Tech/componay will look like shit
Yup, fix it now, not later
