    Been in supermarket refrigeration for 10 years. Don’t forget some of those indicators are purple to pink. Another hot tip. If the sightglass is dirty, once you have it pumped down the can remove the rear indicator and replace it or clean the inside of the glass with some B12 and your t stat screwdriver.

    Some of the new filter driers come with a port on each side of the drier, typically we look for a 3-5 psi drop across the drier, anything higher indicates a restricted drier! :)

    • @AirConAcademy

      Yes, definitely. The suction line filter dryer's will have that connection to get the pressure drop. I have not seen any liquid line filter dryer's with ports to get the pressure difference.

    hi julio do we need to evacuate refrigerant when changing dryer filter

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, yes you need to evacuate because when you evacuate you are removing the air and noncondensibles. If you do not evacuate you would leave the air in the system and Dalton's law will take affect. Meaning that we will have a combination of gases in the system raising the , because according to Dalton's law, when you have a mixture of gases in a confined space each gas will have its own pressure. So the pressure in the system will be higher and in a refrigeration system when you raise the pressure the temperature will go up. Meaning that the evaporator temperature may not be 40° anymore but something higher. The filter dryer is only going to trap the moisture and the dirt that is in the system. So yes, we do need to evacuate when we change the filter dryers. Thank you for asking a question and I hope this answers it.

    hi ..as we know, the moisture inside the refrigerant system can damage the compressor..So, how to identify if there any moisture that exist inside the refrigerant system?? is there any alternate prevention or method to avoid the moisture from damage the compressor from the early stage??

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is a very good question! As far as I know there is really no test to see if there is moisture in the system. We have tests for detecting acid. People typically will install a site glass/moisture indicator to see if there is moisture in the system. This will tell you if there is moisture in the system as the indicator starts to turn from green to yellow. This is why it is a good practice to always install at the very minimum a liquid line filter dryer. And to pull down to 500 µm when evacuating the system and preparing it for start up. Unfortunately with the new oil that is being used, POE, that synthetic oil does not release the moisture like the older oils. Because of this manufacturers say that when installing or opening up a system you must pull a vacuum to 500 µm and install a brand new liquid line filter dryer. I always suggest installing both, it liquid line filter dryer and a suction line filter dryer. If we have moisture in the system that has not been trapped by the filter dryer acid will be created and it will damage the compressor. Thank you for this very good question!

      The only time I have seen that is when the system has been dirty and there has been a burn out of the compressor. Check your system to see if it has acid in it. If the acid test comes back positive then you may need to change the dryer with an HH dryer and replace your psych class. I have only seen that a couple of times and it has been because of a dirty system. Good luck!

    @77ABC78 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video. If I change liquid filter dryer and pull a vacuum in the liquid line section from the receiver's outlet king valve to the solenoid ahead of the TXV, will that solve the moisture issue in the system, what about moisture in the section after the TXV up to the receiver? Will that be absorbed by the dryer when the system is restarted? and how moisture can the dryer absorb?

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just pulling a vacuum in that small section will help a little but you will still have moisture in the rest of the system. If you change the dryer the new dryer will be able to absorb more moisture. The dryers can only absorb a specific amount of moisture, so you may need to replace the dryer two or three times after two or three days of running time to make sure you got all of the moisture from the system. I guess it depends on how much moisture you think your system has as to how many times you will replace the dryer. I would say two or three times might be enough.

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If I understand your question correctly, yes the site glass should be clear. Typically if the site glass is clear that means that you could possibly have enough refrigerant in the system. To be absolutely sure you need to take superheat and sub cooling readings. Just because the site glass is clear that does not mean that you have enough refrigerant in the system. I hope this explains your question. Thank you for the message.

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@wasimedoo1506 it really depends on the type of metering device that you have. If you have a TXV then most likely it is going to adjust to maintain proper superheat and you will have enough refrigerant in the evaporator. If you have a restrictor/Piston/orifice/piston then you need to check the superheat. Typically for air conditioning systems we would want around 8 to 10° of superheat. You may want to see if you can get the manual for that unit that you working on to see what the superheat should be. You should be able to figure out superheat since you have a connection on the low side. But if your site glass is clear most likely your unit is running well. I hope to sit formation helps.

    Hi Julio, thank you for that awesome explanation of why you might see bubbles and of the sight glass color. Could you please tell us the proper procedure for vacuuming a system? I’m more so interested in automotive systems, but would you vacuum the high side and low side at the same time, or individually, or low side only? Thanks!

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your comments! I'm glad you liked the explanation. If you're working on automobiles or not it is always best to pull a vacuum on the high and the low side at the same time. This will help you pull a vacuum much faster so you can make sure you have pulled out all of the air, noncondensibles and moisture out of the system. Don't forget, use a micron gauge to pull down to 500 µm. Thank you and good luck!!!

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      In a car you do not have a liquid line filter dryer. In older cars there was a site glass but the new ones do not have a site glass. In a vehicle you have the accumulator which has a bag of desiccant inside. The desiccant will absorb the moisture but it will not really create a pressure drop. Both systems are similar in how they operate and for troubleshooting but again a vehicle will not have a liquid line filter dryer that is going to clog up and create a pressure drop. I hope this answers your question. Thank you

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      50° of superheat is very high! The pressures are also low. Both the suction and the head pressure. It sounds like it is low on refrigerant. It depends on the type of meter and device as to how much more refrigerator you need to add but it sounds like it is low. If the amperage is low like you mentioned that also indicates low refrigerant. The suction pressure should be around 118 or 120. The head pressure should be higher than that depending on how warm it is outside. The sub cooling will depend on the unit and the outside air temperature. You should have anywhere between 10 to 25° of sub cooling. But for right now it sounds like it is low on refrigerant. I hope this helps. Let me know.

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wow! Good questions! The liquid line filter dryer should be the same temperature as the liquid line. On a warm day that liquid line should feel slightly warmer than body temperature. In other words when you touch the liquid line if you feel just a little bit warm, then what you would do if you would grab the other side of the liquid line filter drier and see if there's a temperature difference. If you do not feel like temperature difference, then your dryer should be OK.Yes, unfortunately, most systems do not have a site glass but by just touching both sides of the filter dryer you can tell if there's a temperature difference. If you are doing this type of service work these days, you didn't need to invest in a micron gauge. By using a micro gauge, I realize how in the past we were not pulling good vacuums. Also, just last week I was teaching a class and I was showing the guys in class how fast a vacuum pump would pull the vacuum. The set of gauges that we were using had a small leak somewhere and that was a great example in showing them that even though the gauges look good, and they are down to 30 inches of mercury, you may still have a leak and a micron gauge will show you that. I hope this answers your questions! And thank you for watching!

    • @AirConAcademy
      @AirConAcademy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for sending the questioning, the site glass should be installed after the liquid line filter dryer. One of the reasons is because if the filter dryer is clogged, you will see bubbles in the site glass and it will help you troubleshoot. If the site glass has bubbles in it you need to look for a temperature drop across the inlet and outlet of the liquid line filter dryer. If you have a temperature drop of 3 or 4°F, then that liquid line filter dryer is clogged. This will show bubbles in the site glass. To properly charge a unit you need to know the type of metering device. You should not charge a system using the clear the site glass method. If you have a TXV then you should charge by sub cooling. If you have a piston as a metering device, then you charge according to superheat. A lot of times in the panel for the unit It will tell you what the super heat or the sub cooling should be. I hope this answers your question. Good luck and thank you for watching!
