And it should be known this unit runs great now with the new compressor. If you're curious, the code it was giving us was "lost rotor position" on the compressor which led to the replacement. After a long conversation with tech support (which, by the way, gave me different issues). It was ultimately my gut and knowledge of ECM motors that led me to replacement of the compressor as the hall effect system wasn't picking up rotor position. Otherwise this compressor tested fine. A little bit of a guess, but an educated guess.
My hoses hold about 1.5 oz and you bring up a good point. I don't think the video shows (though it should have) but when you're done weighing you need to run the unit, close the tank and let the unit suck the remaining liquid out of the hose through the low side. Thank you for the great question.
@@hvacjames509 but also if you throw the remaining liquid in through the low side how do you meter that in? Using the ball valve on the hose? Because we know that only certain scroll compressors can handle liquid slugging.

James is a awesome teacher and a all around good guy!! I suggest our school to anyone who will listen! Thanks James!
What about the liquid refrigerant in the hose? Was it an exact amount from what you initially recovered?

@@hvacjames509 In addition, I think that’s one of the only applications for use of a blank off valve to valve off the micron guage.

Very helpful, I look forward to trying this out. Thank you
Ayeeeee jamessss
