Tech tip
next time you blow out a condenser, Grab a couple of dirty aprons wet them, drape them over condensing unit then blow out.
over 90 percent of dust will stick to the wet apron and will not get sucked back into condenser or your lungs
Good idea. I do food service refrigeration and we blow the condensers out with nitrogen. It gets every single particle out. The wet rag will definitely help.
Good tip! You only have one set of lungs, gotta take care of them.
@@SentientSeven correct sir
Employee - "How many mouse traps should we set?"
Manager - "Yes"
Employee: Hows, that?
Manager: A pitiful start, KEEP SETTING TRAPS!!!
Manager: Set Faster, I can here the pitter-patter of tiny feet and the Cat just ran away in terror...
Employee: (sets 2million traps) is that it?
manager: *yes*
Happy father's day Chris, and all the dad's out there
Thanks so much!!
Thanks Dude.! Happy Father’s Day to you too
“we want them to sell as much beer as possible “ I love your attitude!
I have no idea what your doing but I've been waiting two days for a new video. Thank you sir I seriously appreciate your honest videos
exact same for me, i love it
Thanks so much, the new videos post thursdays and Sundays and the Livestream is Monday at 5pm pacific
I know the feeling... I work with electric generators, but I like the way he do the repairs and the videos... lol I keep coming back.
You said that compressor was taking few tries to start every time. IMO thats what killed the contacts in the temp controller. All those short high current pulses would burn the contacts up over time.
Yep that's exactly what did it, and it probably only took a few months like that to do that.
We get our water from a well on our property, and the pressure tank that makes sure you don't have to run the well pump to have water pressure failed internally (the bladder that separates the air from the water got pierced and the air dissolved into the water). This made the well pump essentially "short cycle" all the time, which wore the contacts out on the pump control pressure switch within about two years. When we finally had enough money to get it fixed they said that the control switch could have been saved if we had replaced the tank right when it failed.
Of course the old tank was as old as the house (I think it was built in the '70s, so ~50 years old), it didn't owe us anything.
@@44R0Ndin For what it's worth, we have a similar problem at my house. The pump pressure switch occasionally fails to close, a light tap with a screwdriver handle and we're back in business. It's a solution my mother and I have relied on for about 8 years now. (It only flakes out once or twice a year on average.) To be fair, it's 44 years old (original from when my parents built the house in 1975) and it has outlasted the original pump (nearby tree struck by lightning in 1985) and the starter (capacitor crapped out in 2017).
And our tank bladder is bad, too. Weak water pressure in the house until the pump kicks on. Our main valves are so deteriorated that shutting them down has zero effect on water flow, so I have to shut the pump's breaker off and drain the entire house every time we replace a leaky faucet (I didn't feel comfortable trying to pull cartridges that I may or may not be able to find replacements for, providing I didn't damage the old cheap faucets in the process) or we replaced our ancient toilets. I'm certain the last faucet swap was the final nail in the coffin, as it took me nearly an hour to finally get the air pockets out of all the pipes.
@@dashcamandy2242 If you haven't already, kill and drain the system one last time and replace the House Shut-Off valve and while you're at it, install individual shut-off valves to each faucet so you don't need to kill the entire house just to change one leaky sink...
You can get Shark-Bite valves that simply push on the pipe (make sure the pipe is cut PERFECTLY square or the Shark-Bite could leak) if you don't want to do that much soldering. Cut a 1/2 inch (or so) section out of each pipe, sand the ends clean and push them into a Shark-Bite shut-off valve and voila, problem solved.
Happy Father's Day! Electrical tape is the best bandage ever made!
Nice diagnosing as usual, Those banner units are fun to work on, Happy Fathers bud
I just bought my fieldpiece vacuum pump. I agree it is a nice piece of equipment.
@Schlau Urheber What isn't made in China nowadays?
@@raulrse Not much. and looking at the HPE stuff I work with, it is not necessarily a bad thing. The chinese factories produce anything you want, to the exact specifications you want and to the exact price you are willing to pay for. Sadly it seems most European or US brands having stuff produced in China prefer to cut down the price and accept not as tight specifications instead, as producing in China and labour in China is not as cheap any more as it used to be.
I have been binge watching your channel since linking from Big Clive. A pleasure watching this one! I'm not a technician, but as a caretaker of a building, I see a lot of tradespeople, and the thorough ones do a very detailed job like you do. Often call-outs uncover multiple problems, even in relatively well maintained units, with knock-on effects from minor problems that were previously ignored.
Thanks so much and welcome to the channel!
Man... That one job you deserve an extra star... For the job, but especially for doing the video... waaaaay to cramped in there and you still find a way to record everything... Thanks for that
Much props to you man. I work at a facility now for about three years and I’m struggling to push the idea of “big picture diagnoses” on these guys, I’m there first real HVACR guy with field experience to work there. They don’t want to maintain equipment and just want to hit the reset button on everything and walk away without investigating the root cause of why the equipment isn’t working correctly. And it’s driving me nuts. Normally I would have walked by now but the benefits , travel and hours are so good I don’t want to give up. It’s a struggle and watching your videos makes me miss field service a lot sometimes
I like this guy because he diagnoses the problem and gets it right 98 % of the time. He doesn't shoot the "Parts Cannon" at the situation and stuff his pockets full of hundred dollar bills. He seems truthful enough, I being one of those carryout owners that have been BS'ed his way from here to eternity with false diagnostics. My final Tech that worked for me was X military, starting a new family, didn't drive a new work van, but knew his refrigeration equipment and controls. I never questioned his bad news for replacement parts and I paid him quite nicely for taking care of my cold boxes. Sometimes it takes several mechanical breakdowns before one finds the right Tech. that has the right Stuff. jmho.
Thanks bud
@@HVACRVIDEOS Working in computer engineering (and some facility/house automation, KNX and such stuff) and as part of that dooing support work, I am always amazed how little skills in troubleshooting a lot of, mostly younger, colleagues have nowadays. They seem neither to understand the concept of knowing how the stuff works, or the sequence of operation as you named it I think, nor do they seem to have any idea of how to structure your troubleshooting steps. I remember that you mentioned more than once, not to switch of power and reset or disturb anything before you could take a look. Same here, sometimes you can just restart something, find it working again and afterwards without some testing done before never find out what the issue was. Ok, with any system down of course you have to find a balance between how much time to spend analysing and when to switch over to just, getting it up and running again. But back to those skills, even trying to teach the young guys that it might help to know in which order things work, and what might depend on what seems not to work. If lucky they are willing to google for a solution longer than three minutes. Andy getting calls from the customers with descriptions like "something does not work" does not help as well. And yes, I had calls like that. Getting any usefull information sometimes drags on and on and on...
Man, it does feel good to wake up, make a coffee and open your video on Sunday morning.
Chris (and other HVAC techs), you'll love this one...
The other day at work, you know, the place I complain about with the atrocious negative pressure... Well, one of the cooks was complaining he was too cold while washing dishes (there's two intake and one exhaust vents right above the sink - most of the vent placement in the store makes no sense whatsoever). We had the thermostat set at 70, it was 89 outdoors with humidity in the high-90%. So we gave him permission to nudge the thermostat up 4 degrees. BIG MISTAKE. So much warm humid air was being pulled into the building that water condensed on Every. Single. Surface. Computer in the office? Front counter and registers? The floor, both front and back of house? The walls? The stainless steel food prep surfaces? ALL became soaking wet in a matter of a few minutes. Those Honeywell thermostats (that nobody knows how to set so they always ask me to "fix the air" when I come in for my shift) nicely pointed out to me that we had gone to 85% humidity indoors in less than 5 minutes... WOW!
It was ridiculous. We dropped the temp back to 70 and told him that, unfortunately, he would have to deal with it.
this man or girl made a whole essay
Btw I really like how you explain things, your very well spoken. I’m not even in the hvac business but, with your videos I can easily follow along with your repairs.
Love watching your videos. I always learn something even though I know nothing about hvac systems. Been watching for like almost a ryegrass and I feel like a pro. You would make a great boss and teacher.
I always use high temp silicone for the capillary lines. Helps from vibration and rub thru. Also I keep a bottle of POE and Mineral oil of old zout spout bottles to lubricate o rings and such. When doing a D3 or bigger I have a basting tray I soak gaskets into before assembling. Dixel controllers watch some can be a + or a - read for temperature. One other tip..keep some heat shrink for those temp sensors. Great BIG picture find. Happy Fathers Day. Enjoy the rest of the day.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS WHO HAD TO WORK HARD TODAY!!!!!💪👨👧👦
thanks bud!
Working with the chillers nice keep it up we learn lots with the videos thanks
Nice Job! Great attention to detail on that PSI control rub-through.
I really like the new transitions between shots!
This past week I've been trying to guide a close friend through a mental breakdown, and the big picture diagnosis concept you talk about has helped me get to the bottom of her situation and come up with ideas to get her back on track. Thank you for showing the world this perspective, it apparently has a lot of uses outside of HVAC. 💖
Never thought I'd be interested in HVAC but your videos keep me watching for hours. Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos.
Appreciate you effort to do the filming+expalining while working even on this tight space . Love the mousetrap thing , they went nuts
I'm glad to see at 16:00 that I'm not the only one that despises that LeakLock crap. I can't stand that stuff, it will always leak if on the high side of a system. Part stores shouldn't even sell it, It hardens up and can't expand or contract with temperature.
Definitely has the most informative channel on youtube... Thanks for the vids!!
I've said it on other videos of yours- but you do damn good work, have a fantastic work ethic, and your honesty shows through all your thought /decision processes. Good work!
Super glue also works for a quick bandage for cuts like that.
Good 1 Chris ... Happy Fathers Day to you and all the Dad's out there ...
If you change a dixell controller for a replacement dixell controller, you should be able to use the original sensor. Parameter PbC gives you a choice between a NTC or PTC sensor; saves you Some time on the job.
I do like to watch your video’s, brings back old times!! Greeting from the Netherlands.
Thanks to sharing
See you tomorrow.
Happy Fathers day.
Chris,
Use a strip of grey duct tape...the adhesive actually helps in healing...been using it for 25 yrs and it heals cuts 2 days faster than just sealing it with super glue. And yes using superglue to seal a cut is also not bad for you. If your bleeding profusely....its a life saver
It might burn 🔥 like a mofo....but is not badd in a pinch
Superglue was originally a skin wound adhesive. Vietnam era if memory serves. It wasn’t until later that it got used in industry, home use & forensics. It’s still used in hospitals etc
I can attest to that too that's what New Skin is pretty much
@@natepeterson7145 I think only difference in the CA glue you get for household stuff and medical CA glue is a very slight change in solvents to make it not burn as bad and they make sure it is sterile (if the stuff in there is not even antimicrobial by itself) Other than that, the medical stuff would work as well to glue stuff together at home or in the shop and for most applications regular CA glue will work to seal wounds as well (of course no vendor will tell you that, just in case something is "contaminated" and causes some infection or you react allergic to anything in there, it is not tested and approved for medical application after all) Depending on where and how applied it might just sting a slight bit. Like, a lot ;)
If you've ever heard an old timer refer to super glue as "hot stuff" that's why, they had it used on them as a skin glue in the military. If you've ever glued a cut together you know it's got a nice little burn to it as it cures. I'm a bit of a masochist so I'll usually use the accelerator too speed things up.
I used to service k- way soda systems with seltzer recirc. Man I hated those outdated systems. This brought the horrors back!!!lol. Good job!
Great customer service as usual !!
Super 88 is the best field bandage. I used alot of it when I used to build radio towers.
Superglue - or specifically the 'liquid bandage' (should be octyl cyanoacrylate, real flexible) stuff from the pharmacy is amazing. But even the regular ole Krazy Glue (ethyl cyanoacrylate, sort of crusty) works in a pinch :)
Good job Chris !
I learn a lot from your video .
Big picture diagnosis .
Apprentice Technician from Australia. Love the informative videos!!
Happy Father's day Chris! Nice job on this unit!
Chris you reminded me of something. Sometimes aux relays are a good idea. If something smokes you take out the aux relay and not the more expensive controller
Great video Chris. Thank you for spreading the knowledge to knuckleheads like me.
Hello Chris, I am 13 and I have started to get into A/C and refrigeration... Your videos have inspired me to one day become a engineer in air conditioning and always made me have ideas to make it more efficient. I do have a question that has been on my mind for quite sometime now... With Copland scroll compressors... They make a pulsing sound when they run and when it gets hot outside the pulse rate rapidly increases and when it's cold outside the pulse rate decreases and you hear a massive echo with it. A good example is a heat pump with this kind of compressor defrosting... When the compressor is running in cooling mode to defrost on a 25° day, and the reversing valve switched the compressor over from heating into cooling you can the pulsing sound starting off slow but increases as the defrost goes on, the pulse rate increases rapidly and the echo starts to dissipate away. Why does this happen? ----------Thanks
Happy father's day , enjoy watching your videos
Nice find!! To prevent those rub outs id used the hose type lines instead of those cap tubes... Used them alot in market work
Great way to start my day !
Agree
WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job !
Sir, it's very lucky that the glycol system is no leakage.... because its very difficult to mix the glycol and the normal water....
9:05 I keep a tube of gel superglue with me to use as a bandaid
I think he should have had twice as many rat traps. Just to be safe.
Really Cool Video this is like actually working with you there on the spot this machine is interesting never even seen one before really can understand you and looks cool and the explanation is very clear
Ha ha ha.. You sounded like a bear expert for this kind of chillers. Ha ha ha...
Luv them veto bags i have several
I'm so happy i do commercial hvac and comfort cooling and not refrigeration. I feel like if i did refrigeration I'd be out all weekend every weekend when I'm on call.
Funny. I do commercial refrigeration and am so happy I dont do hvac lol. I dont climb around in attics in Florida. Most of my work is ice machines and coolers so most of the time I am in ac. On call every 6 weeks so not bad
E tape aka Electrical tape is my go to for bandaid on work site as well an to keep from destiny my finger tips it stretch and it fairly cimcill rezint
I like your style man. Keep it up and ill be buying some tools soon
I don’t know what’s hvac but you a legend warm beer is a crime
I watch a cable show call Bar Rescue and they would talk about system that keeps beer cold up to the tap. I now know what they are talking about. Is that stuff Food Grade?
Yea, all Beer chillers are supposed to be filled with proplene glycol / food grade glycol for safety. But , Who knows in Bars ? i could see a cheapo Bar Owner Going to the Local Pep Boys if he has a Leaker system.
Thank you for keeping the beer ice cold. 💪✌️
Fantastic video and job 👍👍👍
Great job
good vid, liked your solution to the potentially non submersible temp probe. Maybe the reason for the temp being higher after changing controllers was you were monitoring the highest temp spot (return line) instead of the main tank. Ive also never seen a 1/8th DIN controller with 20amp contacts. cool beans.
Always good watching a HVAC video
Can you do a Cutt away of a compressor and explain what is what ? Happy father's day .
Dude nice tools, here in Mexico is near impossible get some like that, also I like that wireless pressure, super easy to work with that
PS: for this service maybe put a fan for exaus the hot over the unid also 404 works with more pressure that r134 but not like co2,
One thing I am learning, many of the food establishments are very unhygienic and like most others appearance seems to be all that matters. Most are too happy with the superficial when they can do a whole lot better. I have much admiration for your work ethics.
Good to see engineers hard at work to make stuff hard to service as usual.
Electrical tape is natures best bandaid, also you don't have to fill out OHS reports if you don't have to get into the first aid kit!
I actually don´t think any engineer intended the glycol lines beeing routed that crappy. I don´t even think most engineers focused on designing just the unit think about the lines going to and from at all. Or they had such strict boundaries on cost, available space and components to be used, they had only little choice. Or the design was based on an older model with the intend to reuse as much as possible to save costs. So I would say chances are 50:50 for either set boundaries an engineer had to stick too or crappy engineering. Sadly nowadays out of experience you have a 3:1 or even 4:1 chance of getting a combination of set (dumb) boundaries paired with bad engineering. I am engineer myself (Thanks god Computer engineering and nothing mechanical) and I can tell, there is a lot of truth about what Chris says every now and then: sometimes you have to do what you are told to do, not what you think would be a good solution to do.
13:00 You are using a different manifold than the usual wireless Fieldpiece. What is the difference between the two?
also, why does Inverter type ACs have their compressors covered by insulator? Is it because the refrigerant kept the compressor colder than ambient and insulating it preserves the cold?
8:50 imo super glue paper cuts (or medical grade equiv)
I bet the new compressor was thinking of you and said go and pick up a little first aid kit to keep with you
Chris is an awesome man dud. He just fixes everything. Edit: (Man your quite brave using a tape as a bandaid.) I'll give this man a five out of five dud.
Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
I just had an epiphany. Electrical supply houses offer delivery to the job and i assume hvac houses do too. However, these usually take several days. Do they offer a “quick” delivery like auto supply houses do? For instance, when you need a compressor ASAP they could have it there within a short time? I know a lot of time is wasted having to travel to and from supply houses. This has probably already been thought of but due to lack of competition like auto parts stores, there may not be any incentive to offer this type if service.
In Finland, alot of bars have changed to a system where the beer tanks/"freezer", is just below the tap. This eliminates the bad taste from old/unclean copper pipes, save alot of money, and the beer is always at the right temperature... i think the "freezer " have room for 4 tanks of beer, so you can have 2 different taps for different beer... the plastic line from tank to the nozzle of the tap is always changed with the tank, so it is always clean. When they run out of and tank, they just change in the spare one, pour your beer, and then carry the next tank in to the "freezer" to cool down
ps. "freezer" since i think the beer in my local pub is ~4c, also know as ~39 in freedom units
I think over here in the US we still do it the old way, but all the beer lines are some sort of plastic instead of copper. Like your system, it avoids the problem of having funny tasting beer, but it also gives a lot more flexibility in where the beer is stored.
Then again, from another point of view I have no idea what I'm talking about, because I don't drink (personal choice).
@@44R0Ndin I think it is really different depending on where you look at. Here in Germany for smaller facilities, I know systems where all the cooling is done right before the tap as Dwarf describes, all plastic lines by the way and strict requirements on how to clean those. But I also now there are systems with cooled lines to the Tap.
Also for larger venues, they may not even have a walk in cooler with lots of Kegs , but like large stainless steel tanks and the beer is delivered using a tanker truck. Those beer tanks are lined with what looks like a plastik bladder, which then holds the beer pumped in from the truck. Those liners are replaced every time the tanks get refilled.
Most times you have those tanks in lowe building levels and then lines to all the taps above. I think due to the length of the lines here you will mostly find cooling close to the taps. but not sure about that. I have seen such tanks in really large venues, like sports stadiums.
Also a difference, here in Germany the beer is not served as cold as in the US. To be honest we always make fun about people in the US drinking Ice with some liquid in, no one here drinks anything that cold. But there is also a difference in the beer. Most US beer tastes like piss if not ice cold. (Ok I am honest, to me most US beer tastes like piss anyways, independent of the temperature. Only really nice one I can actually remember was some beer made by a local micro Brewery in Chicago.) Or it is just so cold, it doesn´t taste like anything at all, stale at best. Because thats what I find with German beer, if too cold, it just doesn´t taste like anything at all. If to warm, it taste stale very soon.
Great video as always. Might want to add some bandaids to your go bag. When are the shirt merch for sale?
superglue + tyvek is also a good band-aid; you can do it without the tyvek, in a pinch.
Good vid Chris another banger! 💪🏿
Viper Wipes are “Bitchin” he says.!! Chris you are too cool for school.!!
talk to the owners about retubing the whole mess.
Good job
great tech. I could learn alot from you
I always thought Ethylene Glycol had a greenish tint to it or is that simply a dye that's only added to vehicle anti-freeze?
yo need to put antiseptic cream on cuts like that. When I started work in the 70's a guy lost his hand from an infection - the result of a staple in his finger (yes a paper staple)! You gota be careful. I think i would be wearing a mask while blowing or sucking dust.
Do you keep a protector on your watch? I understand a lot of nicer smart watches have sapphire faces. But still, when I band my watch against metal it’ll abrade and mar the smooth sapphire. Leaves a very prominent but shallow scratches. 🙄
To me it looks like people no longer care and tries to understand the equipment they have until it don't work anymore. And that's not just coolers for beer but cars and a lot of other things as well. It's more important that it looks good on the outside than it has oil and a clean aircleaner.
I am doing general IT and telecomunications stuff, its the same here. As long as it is not considered business critical or required for some ISO certification or whatever, maintenance is barely done. Ok, in everything regarding computers and networks, it usually is not as bad as with cars, HVAC stuf etc., but you see considerable amounts of maintenance mostly not beeing done. On the one hand in our case with doing updates to keep a supported version level, as long as we help them even with outdated versions and there is not a new functiion they really want to use, they are happy not to upgrade and pay us for fixing unsupported stuff.
At some point someone in Accounting told me, not doing maintenance but only doing repairs is easier and more profitable for them in terms of writing off costs and taxes.
Only time we ever spend time and money in preventive maintenance, is when there are penalties and we have to pay a penalty, if the system is not running for more than x amount of time.
Superglue has always been my choice of bandaid in situations like that
Always have a good first aid kit ; Super glue and electrical tape ! When super glue mixes with blood it hardens instantly . LOL
Great work 👍👍👍
Good one 👍
Great video and happy Father’s Day
Get the Milwaukee portable wet dry vacuum. It’s AWSOME.
Is that the one the guy at Anti DIY HVAC uses? Looks quite handy. I checked if something comparable and battery powered is available here in Germany. We have to dust of servers every now and then in datacenters (despite beeing a rather clean environment, we always wonder where all the dust comes from. but then there is all the times work done like new data or electrical lines beeing installed, requiring drilling holes etc. And even as in a datacenter everything runs of electricity, you would not believe how hard it may be to find a usable outlet you may plug in to.
Nice pun with the "rats nest of wires" with all those traps
love your vids. english is not my native so please forgive any translation or grammar mistakes.if you have those probes with metal heads from dixell (btw dixell R probes NTC PTE are the ones fully covered) you can use a shrinking tube to cover the gap between metal head and cable. I think they did this to the old probe in here too
Best Band-Aids in the trades paper towel and electrical tape that's what I always used
In the US the beer is always the wrong temp - come to germany ;)
In this video you mention that the beer should not go over 40 degrees but I read an article that says your beer should not go over 38 degrees
I would buy a t-shirt that said - The Beer is Too Warm!
Loving the new thumbnail format 👍
Beast mode👊👍
