I wonder if some kind of tuned-mass damper attached near the fitting could solve the problem. Just attaching the proper length of thin wire rope with a hose clamp near the fitting could do the trick. You could probably tell when the vibrations were damped by touch.
@subcoolHVAC we are gonna get it back to a good running order. Also gonna replace the oil filter while we're at it. 400lbs of 134a though...thats healthy dose of refrigerant we need.
8 gallons of is crazy, gotta be over 1k just in oil. I can imagine the refrigerant cost. Crazy you guys figured out the resonate frequency caused that leak!
@ZRock7771 not sure the cost in oil. I know the refrigerant is gonna be expensive. As for the failures...it honestly made the most sense. thanks for watching and the comment
@@jasonjohnsonHVAC Yeah defiantly something design related, the fact that 3 separate sages had the same thing happen tells me design flaw. I usually pay 150-200 a gallon for POE 68 oil, not sure what oil 134a takes.
dang, didn't know seth went over there too! those are some good finds there bud, really like how you used the chilled water for your cooler too during recovery. What's the plan going forward to prevent this from happening again?
@Fryloc87HVAC possibly go to the steel/copper kit that comes on the newer AWV. Problem is that kit is $$$$$ and not sure the customer is willing to pay for it, which isn't my department. I'm just gonna do the best i can and let the chips fall where they will.
Man, that’s horrible. I saw the first video and thought to myself that there’s probably something wrong with the compressor and it was caused by vibration. Those pipes vibrating can do some weird things Trane another manufactures use dampening weights on discharge lines to reduce it. I would hire a dynamic balancing contractor to come take readings. Good luck.
There is a kit we are trying to get. It's steel to copper and can handle the speed change much better. The newer AWV has it already on it. Appreciate the comment
I hate daikin with a passion for just this reason. Its always a catastrophe with a daikin. Dont get me wrong i love the work, hate the headache. They just dont make anything like they used to

@@projectartichoke there is a kit for it, which has been installed
They need to have a Viber flex on that piping
Not a bad idea at all.
Unfortunate design flaw but the right guys to fix it 💪

Hello brother is that compressor twin screw or single ?
@@fathmasameer7523 single screw with gate rotors on either side of the screw bolt.
