Excellent job, the way of making a hole in the suction line for the external equalizer while it was under pressure to keep it clean is awesome. Thank you
This is awesome man. It's a pain but it you pull the panel off the opposite side on the header assembly (it's a huge panel) I found 3 or 4 U bends frosted up during a freeze test. Glad I checked, otherwise I would have just quoted the header replacement (which was restricted too) instead of a who new evap which was what they really needed.
We just changed a compressor on a 5 ton single stage. On start up I had correct pressures and temps, but over the weekend, it changed, by Monday we got called back. The head was 200 psi R-22, and the lo-side 100. SL 65, LL 89. I called tech support, and he had me block off the cond. fan, to see if pressure, and amps would go up. It only went up to 225 psi, and the lo-side went to 140 psi, and the amps never changed. He condemned the compressor. I got on FB, HVAC school group, and some guys were saying this acutrol was the likely culprit, but I figured they would only restrict, not bypass?
Chris waessil yeah it seems like a issue with the compressor. You can also disconnect the blower to see if the suction pressure drops below normal. It's not the acutrol short orifice metering devices. It's a just a fixed piston in each tube. It would not raise your suction pressure.
I spoke with Trane tech support about this issue he also recommended putting on a crankcase heater if one is not on there and you have the original orifices. If carrier doesn't make it like that if you can get the right tonnage of TXV get like that it should work on the carriers to
From 1000 micron firts decayed test and should not pass 2000 microns. If so put nitrogen to 15 psi just to absorb humidity for 15minutes. Repeat the process until you pass the decay test for the 1000 microns them you take it to 500 microns and for a period of 10 minutes should not pass over a 1000 microns if so repeat the process. If you can not achieve the decay test most probably the valcores or the system has a leak. Don't panic and remember you got to 500 microns and most of the tech do not used a micron gauges and nobody is there to see if you did it. Laughs and charges the system After all it is not a refrigeration system just AC. Thanks for the video man. I have been seeing so many videos of how to do a vacuum that I got okay when I do not achieve the decay test.
I thought there is a way of clearing the short orifice tubes by heating them and passing nitrogen through them, I believe Eric M has a video showing how to do it.
Capitol Refrigeration,Heating,and Cooling there is but it's not guaranteed to work. Trane actually sales an additive called mjx but they say it's for 410a only. The junk really sticks to those little orifices.
If the oil is broken down enough to plug up offices, due to running high discharge temperatures, shouldn’t you have dumped the compressor and changed the oil? Why is the other compressor so rusty around the shell?
Rod Graff all good questions . Probably. The other compressor was flooding back. They had bad airflow due to bad ductwork and the wall around the units didn’t help during the summer. Especially since they never cleaned the coils.
good job great vid isnt there a restrictor( on the original ) at end of cap tube on the header would you drill or braze it out and How long did it take you to finish up total time approximately .
How did you size your txv and cap tubes did trane give you this ? How can i get this for any unit or unit im working on different tonnage and acutra tubes i have 25 ton trane with 16 orifices.
All you have to do it's get your torches tip closer to the 7 inch copper and I guarantee you it's going to make a hole in it get within a butt half an inch grommet tip to pipe
Jacob Scyphers awesome. It's pretty easy. The instructions say to cut them off and deburr them. Then stick them in about 1 inch and crimp the pipe around them carefully. What's your email. I'll send you a PDF
Bruce Moine whats the model number of the unit. Send me your email. I will forward you some information that I got from trane. It has the part numbers.

Hello Ulises,
See it from germany, super work and beautifully described what they just do. Please keep it up.
walter f. Thank you I appreciate it.
I've never seen a liquid line drier with 2 schraders like that. Awesome
If you don't want shavings you can start the drill bit until almost through and then use a nail to finish it
That other compressor looks like it's flooding
Joe Shearer good eye. That thing has sweat stains on it lol. I was gonna mention that in the video. It was overcharged by a bit.
Joe Shearer yeah. That's pretty cool to see pressure drop.
Professional.. hope I never encounter that but if I do I know what to do now. thanks dude
Arturo from Tucson 👍🏼. It’s actually easier than it looks.
great job and video. I like the case set up for your hoses.
Ruben V thanks. Me too. It's the Appion case.
You are my idol. I want to be like you when I grow up 😍😍😍
fantastic video! Learned a lot!
Jordan Rayburn thanks
This is one of my favourite videos, thank you.

Definitely gonna try to go with a TXV next time instead of replacing header assembly
AKGreaves HVAC the txv kit it's actually pretty easy. I would go for it.

Whsts the difference between sccurltrol and piston ?@@UlisesPalacios
Nice Work Mr Palacios there is a lot of this type of Metering Devices out there not working well
Ronald Niles yes sir. Thanks
Great work just got a ICP unit with the same orifice set up
Copper plating on the schrader? You and Eric M should do collab vid together...our heads will explode with knowledge💣💥
Great vid Ulises!
Jon HVAC lol 😂 thanks man. that would be fun.
Ulises Palacios Can I ask you about the channel art on your home page?
Jon HVAC sure. It's actually my reversing valve for my unit lol. I used the flir one thermal to take the photo.
Ulises Palacios I see that but, I'm referring to the picture on your channel home page.
Jon HVAC is it the iManifold screen?
Nice job,wish you all the best

thank's palacios for sharing Excellent work!!!!!!
This looks to be fairly easy to do.
Lynn Winstead it's super easy. easier than replacing a compressor.
Nicely done!!!
Thank you
Great job tnx a bunch for sharing.

Top notch work
c alessi thank you
You really know your craft, was problem low evap pressure?
Nice video.

I don't wear safety glasses I want to make sure I see the shavings fly out into my eyes
Justin Hernandez lol 👓
great video thanks
Juan Marquez thank you
Equalizer should be after the sensing bulb.
ZuffaLtdDanaWhite in the installation instructions it says to mount the sensing bulb right after the equalizer tube

Rob HVAC thanks
Good txv change-out. HATE/header orifices .Good job, Ulises ..Get back to work.
Michael Lee lol thank you sir
You wouldn’t happen to remember the part number for this txt kit you used.
Is it an r22 system? If so what’s the model number
@@UlisesPalacios YHC092A3EMA1V0000000000
Yes it's r22 7.5 ton.
@@hookedup9424 what’s your email
What’s the part number?

Great job. Doing my first one of these tomorrow. May I ask why you chose to not use the bells on the distributor tubes. Just easier to braze?

Ulises Palacios . That would be great thank you sir. Jacobscyphers@gmail.
Do you mind sending me the email as well.
More importantly, what is the part number from Trane for the conversion?
What size this capillary Sir
How do you calculate what size txv for the header?
👍👍
Man ive done a ton of these kits and none of mine have ever come with the ends flared out like that.
did you have to adjust txv for your superheat?
Great video. Does Trane and Carrier actually have these kits available for this conversion?
monteiro air yes they do make a kit. Thank you
Our local carrier store say they don't have the conversion kit, haven't try Trane yet
Thank u sir
So this is a really cool kit. Where did you get it ?
Bruce Moine just go to your local trane and ask for it. They will hook you up with the correct kit
@@UlisesPalacios I did. They say it doesn't exist. Factory just refrerences the header. You have a part number ?
Bruce Moine whats the model number of the unit. Send me your email. I will forward you some information that I got from trane. It has the part numbers.
What were your pressures sh and sc while it was running restricted?
Thanks
Squirtle Hvac I don’t remember exactly but I had a high superheat with a low suction pressure. And high subcooling
what the part number!!?!?
multi-tube nightmare :)
Who TF will dislike this video.
What is the name of the little lube for the gage?
Juan jover nylog.
Nice but you are not leakage test
Dirty condenser coils cause these kind of problems.
nota newbie yup.
