    I am not a formally trained HVAC tech only an interested amateur. The machine is disassembled in the video far more than is required for just a seal change. Not covered in the video was additional chassis damage repair, likely sustained from being dropped.
    Here is the initial short video detailing defect discovery.

    Interesting one. I am trying to understand how those machines are functioning. Whats the differences to regular ac system? Any reason why compressor needs to be piston type? Or because it is combined with vaccum pump for easier integration? Valves are bypassing vaccum pump basically? For some reason no one is importing them on my local market. Thinking of doing some contraption myself.

      Very similar to the high side circuit of an automobile. Compressor & condenser…As you say the valving just reconfigures the refrigerant loop. Not certain if it would be mandatory to have a piston compressor 🤔 Thx for watching. 👍🍻

    I don't think that ID hole really mattered did it ? as long as it went over the shaft & sealed the outside cylinder

    What was the backstory on yellowjacket being able to supply you with replacement components.

      They didn’t supply me with anything. Said they don’t sell to the public. Just gave me the runaround several times, finally gave up. Seal came from Ali-Express. Just an oil less compressor generic Teflon cup seal. 😁

      @@TheGibby3340 I can understand them, not dealing directly with the public mini corporations have done that now specially since they’ve merged or been purchased by other corporations.
      But they did not give you a name of a distributor so you can purchase the parts to them to take care of a product that they sold to customers company who doesn’t care about their lifetime support .
      Company is we got your money as soon as it’s out of warranty they’re laughing all the way to the bank 🏦

      I was trying to be nice Tom 😁 Couple of guys I spoke to on the “support” line, seemed to have never heard of a piston or seal. Just a body on the end of a phone, god knows where in the world. Facade of support, clearly not really interested. They kept referring to a number, a woman who is supposedly the “expert” she never did answer 1/2 dozen calls. 🤷‍♂️

      Can you post an AliExpress link to the exact seal you used?
