    Brilliant! Should be required viewing for any geothermal tech. Hell, any geothermal owner.

    Man, Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. My father and I installed geothermal at their home up in VA but I mostly just dug the loop system. He passed away unexpectedly last year and I’ve been super intimidated about tending to it. That guy did everything.
    We’re from Charleston SC! Thanks again

    Thank you very much for the info. I am learning geothermal and have 34 years hvac experience. I would be so thankful if you could tell me what fittings I would use to get from the testo 549 to the test tool for pressure. I’m a big fan of testo.

      You will need the needle probe I linked below and a brass fitting. I believe the brass fitting is 1/4" SAE x 1/4" MPT brass (1/4" male refrigerant hose fitting x 1/4 male pipe thread). A HVAC supplier will probably have the brass fitting. Also need some pipe thread tape...

    Do they make inline temperature probes and/or pressure gauges? Would that be better since it would be on there 24/7 and we wouldn’t have to worry about damaging the o-ring or losing refrigerant?

    • @aglmechanicaltips
      @aglmechanicaltips  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, a lot of the more advanced systems have built in sensors and you read these from a digital tool. We rarely have to actually probe the units anymore but still train for this in the event a sensor fails or you have to work on a unit that is not advanced.

    Thank you very much! You answered a question for which I couldn't get a clear answer, temperature IN was 77 so if you are a 68 degree guy, this type of system is not for you. A traditional air to air would be more appropriate for that type of person.

    • @aglmechanicaltips
      @aglmechanicaltips  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Negative, water temperature in has nothing to do with the temperature that the system can deliver to the house. There are plenty of houses with geothermal that can achieve 68°. On a "Air to air" system the "tempurature in" on a 95 degree day is 95° for example (when measuring at the condenser coil which is comparable to the water in on a geo). Let me know if I am misinterpreting what you are saying.

  • @danmccoy6164
    @danmccoy6164 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So you would need those calcutaions. If you're doing a repair. Or when setting up the unit. But not for maintenance. Is there really anything that you need to do for maintenance. Other than check the water for ph balance and antifreeze values. And filter on a water to air. Which should be changed out regularly. By the home owner.
    Basically no maintenance ?

    Hello! To ready the unit can I put it in heat mode vs cool with the fan on high?

    • @aglmechanicaltips
      @aglmechanicaltips  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, that would calculate "heat of extraction".

      By the way thank you for making this and I'm so glad I found it. I've been working on these things for a little over 3 years, and have a pretty good handle on how they work and how to service/diagnose them. However, I've never had this properly explained to me yet. Thank you! More water furnace vids please!

    Where do I connect a roomcooling unit to a geothermal heatpump? When dealing with an airpump the the hot air is heating up the fluid in the airunit that later is compressed by a compressor in the outside unit before it is evaporated out via the fan.
    So I guess the process must be reversed in the geothermal heatpump as well and the heated fluid leaving the room must be compressed inside the geothermal heatpump before it leaves the pump via the plastic pipes down to the ground.

    Assuming all would be the same for a non-pressurized system as long as you know the gpm?

    • @aglmechanicaltips
      @aglmechanicaltips  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Correct but you can also calculate the GPM the same way as long as there are P/T ports at the unit

      It was an add on. I linked the needle used below. You will have to adapt this using a brass fitting you can find at a hardware store.

      Hello, see link below to the installation manual to a water furnace system. On page 73 there is a cooling cycle analysis sheet which we use on the field. The calculation is on that sheet and coincides with the info in the video. Thanks

      Agreed, that was the point of the video. Unless there is a known refrigerant issue you should not be hooking up gauges.
