- Jim Bergmann demonstrates the step-by-step process of charging an AC or heat pump system. Follow along to ensure your client's systems are running efficiently and correctly.
Remember these rules before charging:
1. Check evaporator for cleanliness
2. Check condenser for cleanliness
3. Check the filter
4. Make sure the airflow is in range
5. Know your metering device
• TXV, charge by subcooling
• Fixed, charge by superheat

Looking good, Jim!
always a pleasure in having you keep our heads in the game!
When you get a chance, run the same example for a Heat Pump?
Looking good young fella. Hope to see you back at Kalos in February!
Lord willing I will be there this year. In remission and feeling a lot better. Thanks!
Thank you, jim.. great to see you . Thank you for always sharing your great knowledge 🤟💯🌎
Thanks!
E your back. We need to be concise with the youth of today. Not all techs understand that the vacuum is equalizing across the metering devise. When I add this information to my training sessions the lite bulb glows. We can’t leave out what we call common sense.
Jim, this was one of your best! Thanks again
Wow we need more
Nice to see you Jim!
Nice to be seen.
@@measureQuick Better than being viewed
Much appreciated Sir!
Thank you, Jim.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Glad to see you as it has been awhile!! As always thank you for a great and informative video!!
More to come!
Good video
It'll be good for tech's to know the basis of the target superheat chart. From my knowledge, this is based on an approximation of the Tevap of 40F (TSH=Tiwb-(Tamb-Tiwb)/2-40) . Love to know Jim's thoughts on this.
Nice video interested on make of magnetic tablet mount
Good to see you are doing well!
So just to review, #1 We set the airflow to the condenser size or coil?
Can you elaborate a little more on the part you said about what type of motor you have?
Standard vs actual. PSC vs ECM?
Thank you for such a wonderful app!
Set the airflow to the condenser size, with a PSC and look at actual airflow. With an ECM watch standard air flow. An ECM moves the same mass flow rate. A pSC moves the same volume with a variable mass flow rate.
@@measureQuick would it matter if it's constant airflow ECM or constant torque?
Constant torque motors are set up similar to PSC motors however they have much less drop off in performance with higher statics. They also move a constant pretty constant mass flow like an ECM. The differences a constant torque motor is set by the wire taps and static and ECM is set by adjusting the dip switches to a preprogrammed SCFM.
Hi, our system here uses R 410 refrigerant. The charging chart shows R22. I don't get that!
Good catch, it’s the exact same chart for 410a.
SH chart for R-22, while system is 410-a?
It’s the same chart for 410a. The refrigerant is different but the superheat calculation is the same. I noticed that also. I’ll reach out to HVAC School and see if they can update that.
Most cases coil is dirty, condenser is dirty, blower is dirty, secondary heat exchanger is dirty and then the customer has to pay a lot of money to charge the unit or search for a leak, might as well get a new unit.
