I am in the same boat as you, I got 6 months of quality training and then thrown at it, some baptism by fire. I’m slowly but surely progressing. If I can ask, what steps did you take to grow your knowledge of rack and supermarket refrigeration? Did you take classes, meet up with other techs just to observe and help where you could? What can I do to excel and be the absolute best tech possible? Thank you!
Trevor matthews refrigeration mentor. The HVAC podcast. I listened to a podcast every day for almost a year. I had no idea what they were talking about at first. But by the end of the year I had a pretty good idea The concepts of refrigeration. Read Directions and bulletins That's what I did :) Also many of the refrigeration vendors really want to help you learn so Sporlin has tons of free available information. Sam3 with Dan Foss hussmann, Hill Phoenix ect.... Hope this helps. !
Those receiver indicators have been leaking like crazy at all of our accounts, pumping it down is such a pain, wanna make a video on rebuilding them? 😢
@@gendronhvac-r1269 we only had one rack, so we couldn't just pump it to the other rack. Ended up forcing all the condenser fans on and isolating the refrigerant up there, mapp gas torch on the receiver for about 10 minutes to boil it off, all for a little gasket change 😵
If your receiver has refrigerant in it. Then it could just be because of load changes. Especially if a system goes through very large load changes, you'll get Bubbles. Definitely check your receiver level and it might be worth checking your pressure Differential across You're filter dryer. Good luck man :)
Min 0:20 They threw you to the wolves like that? OMG. I've watched a few of these refer videos, and I'm thinking, "Do you really want to be in this business? ... One bad day and you can send up $25,000 of product to the garbage." Have to hope all the alarms are working.
Love your videos man! You explain things very well and they are very helpful to newer techs like me.
Thank-you I'm glad to help!
I was enjoy learning a thing or two about a thing or two.

Sorry 😅
@@gendronhvac-r1269 thank you 🙏😁
What if I have a single bubble floating around in the sight-glass periodically?

If a rack is under sized, a site glass will flash too.
Thank you that's really good input :)
I did not think of that !
Why is that exactly?@@gendronhvac-r1269
