On a home 3 ton heil heat pump, should I measure lowside temp at blower near TXV or at outside unit to get my superheat? There's about 2-3F degree difference between inside and outside lowside, it was 95F outside? Thx, Love the channel.
If you're on a home system and it has a TXV, generally you use subcooling to set the refrigerant charge. Normally the superheat is not adjustable on residential equipment, it is possible but not normally. If the instructions tell you to set it by superheat, then generally you set it based off the superheat at the condenser. This is unlike a walk-in cooler or freezer where you would normally set it at the evaporator. when in doubt follow the manufacturer's instructions.
I recall that Kulthorn Kirby Public Co. Ltd purchased the assets of Bristol and planned to start making them in Thailand..not sure if that ever has happened.
Tight pleats are never a good thing, unless you increase your surface area. On another note,(transformer) some guys leave old parts behind to show that they have been replaced. Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching👍👍 I personally prefer to write inside the panel and date what was replaced. The only things I will leave behind is blade style fuses and parts that might be needed for proof of replacement.
I think the long run along with the high eff. filter being at the grill compounded the issue. (You never see those filters in a package unit normally. )🤦♂️
I don't understand why techs leave old parts come on clean up behind yourself write on the door the date you replace the part that way anyone can tell what has been replaced and when it was replaced
Ok I work on steam engine turbines and centrifugals chillers IN NYC , I stumbled across your videos cos I want to learn more of the package units etc. Thank you ! And please keep the videos coming in!
Sweet, your working on what I want to start doing more of. I been through Carriers chiller class twice but don't get much time on them because I have 3 or 4 other guys in front of me for those. I'm also doing some grocery store racks here and there.
The people that reorder my parts have been really slacking lately, The closest supply house that might have had it would have been 45 minutes away. There's some things I don't have a lot of control over.
I enjoyed those sound effects Rick! Another great job!
A lot of people don't know my sarcasm so I thought I'd better put something there or cut it out LOL
That pleated filter media looks just like my mom's living room drapes (from the '70s). :-)
Nice video.
That's funny stuff🤣👍👍. Thank you!
they probably filtered and collected as much too ;)
Nice job doing a complete check. Always a great video thanks. Good find. To much hit and run or gas and go today.
Being responsibly for your callbacks fixes that real quick. 😏
I’m a one man company been at this 35 years so I like you have to cover all the bases the first time. I still miss things.
We're paid well to take on that responsibility. Thanks for the feedback!
That new organic oil is really working well in run caps 😅
Yeah all the waist this creates is so much more environmentally sound.🤣🤣👍👍
Another awesome video !
Thanks man!
needed a couple big labels on it, "do not put filter in here" lol. I'm betting it will happen again
Did you check the battery on the stat? Most of the time that's what it is
I'm not sure I follow what you mean? What do you think the T-stat caused?
Nice job and video
Thanks Donnie👍👍
Awesome man I didn’t know about that capacitor trick any videos on how you wired that? Is it just hermz on one and fan on the other ?
Capacitors in parallel will add up. Com to com, herm to the needed cap. Works with fans, or compressors.
Nice find
Thanks Alex👍👍
God job Rick kiper up 👍
👍👍Thanks 4 watching!

Good 1 Rick ...

I haven't heard much for about them so no loss for me. I prefer Copeland any day. There made just 45 minutes away from me.

Hey Rick how can you easily tell that it’s an orifice system?
Look in the blower compartment. These normally had a manifold of orifices. Otherwise you’ll see a TXV
Well that's why that return duct was so clean.. :-)
I was today years a old when I realized you could use the hole in the top of the unit to put your hoses through there 🤯
👍👍don't feel bad it took me a while to also figure it out 😊. Supposedly they give you something called a manual but I don't know what those are 🤣
Right? I don't take those hose gauges up anymore though unless I'm charging. I use field piece probes.

Never like seeing filters at both locations. Either put them at the unit or the return grille, not both.

I agree! Thanks for watching!
😊
That was the way aprilair made them with that tab on the side so it would not fall out
I've never seen them in a commercial setting, only residential👍👍good 2 know.. Thank you!
Do you work for carrier?
😎 Nope, just work on a lot of them.

Really bro? Lol you ran out of run caps??? That amateur move 😔
