WALK IN COOLER ONLY WORKS WHEN IT'S WARM OUTSIDE

  • This was a service call on a walk in cooler that would only work properly when it was warm outside, the unit was actually low on charge and when it cooled down outside the head pressure control valve would bypass and there was not enough refrigerant in the system for it to operate properly.

    Good find we do get calls in the northeastern on refrigeration systems.Its common when the temperature fluctuated when it drops at night when the season change. A lot new guys get this diagnose as a leaking system it's stacking refrigerant in the condenser when temperature drops. Good explaining the head master .

  • @CHOMAHOMA
    @CHOMAHOMA 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Once again, thank you so much for your video. This one I probably will watch it more than once to get used to the calculations. I need to get that Sporlan manual though. Your explanation was clear and not confusing at all. That's what I think.
    One common thing that I have noticed in a lot of the units that you have worked on is the undersized pipe for condensate drains used during the installation. In a several of them (videos/units) I have noticed that they hooked up more than one drain to the same pipe size. That is no bueno because, in order to avoid blockage over the years, it is important to increase the pipe size when connecting more than one drain, and to pitch it properly. For instance, If you are running 3/4" and you want to connect other unit to the same drain, go 1" from there. If you want to connect two more drains, go 1 1/4" from there and so on. Pitch it at a 1/4" per foot.
    Less problems will be created due to a clogged condensate drain pipe. Well, that's what I would do.
    I remember a video in which you had to connect hoses and the water when all over the place and that the Manager was freaking out. All the pipe is 3/4" size and it carries condensate from different units. I have to go back and watch it again, but my point is that pipe size should be increased when more than one drain is being connected to a main.

    Quick tip: spray the cond. Cool with cold water while you charge, then clear the sight glass. Pump down at king valve and if it pumps down without the Head pressure going up, you know it's not over charged.

    Awesome vid. Pretty cool methods, in aus I haven’t had the chance to work on a condensing unit with that type of condenser valve.
    I would of probably looked at cleaning the indoors first so that gas charging was more accurate. Having the indoor like that would have probably ended up with an overcharged system if the sight glass was filled before set point was achieved on the box. I’ll keep watching these vids are good.👍

    Every time I read your title I try to guess the problem before I start watching. This is the first time I guessed right. Low charge equals low suction pressure when its cold out. Of course there could be a restriction somewhere or something and obviously theres a leak but its fun to try to guess. Great work as usual.

      so when the refrigerant goes from the discharge line to the reciever liquid line, the headmaster can regulate the psi going in? and out?
      and the headmaster allows refrigerant to go thru the compressor at 180 psi?

  • @SeanMackBuffaloStyle
    @SeanMackBuffaloStyle 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    They are installing headmasters rated at 150 psig for DOE regulations which by the way has a percent error +/- 15 psig. The head pressure of 135 psig is not enough pressure drop to cause proper txv function. Here in Buffalo it's below 50 degrees like 8 months out of the year.

    You can also use an HP-switch with auto reset or fanspeed controller. So you keep the discharge pressure stable at 15Bar. Works very effective with cold oudside Temps and you don't have to add refrigerant.

    Those evap coils that are so often dirty and fins clogged up -- who is responsible for regular in-service cleaning of them? The owner or yourself? If owner, have they been trained in this? What about regular or periodic retraining?
    I am a retired desk jockey, but I find these vids very interesting.

      the owner is responsible for getting it done but that is usually part of preventative maintenance that they can ask for.

      I see it distressingly often in computers too.
      The heat sink fins have air pushed or pulled over them in much the same way as HVAC equipment does. The fin pitch is often tighter, in order to be able to fit them inside of a relatively small computer enclosure.
      A PC can be left purring away in a corner for as many as 5-10 years with the side door never being opened. While on the dirty floor.
      I have seen some genuinely terrifying dirt clogs, and wondered how these systems were still working and not just ... cooking.
      I've seen them with over 1/8" of CRUD caked into the heat sinks.
      People just don't clean their stuff.

    Simple physics. Well, simplified, more like. With the ideal gas law, pressure and volume are directly proportional to number of molecules and temperature (and a constant we can ignore since it is constant.)
    Since the volume doesn't change because the tubing is all the same, we can ignore volume for the overall system. (Volume is important at the metering and compression side because that's how the whole system works! But we can ignore that here and relates to Boyle's law and joules Thomson effect and most all gases since they're not actually ideal gases.)
    So outside temperature falls. Number of molecules stays the same (the bypass valve hasn't gone off to add extra). On the other side of the equation the volume is the same. So the only thing that can change is the pressure must fall as well.
    If you need to raise the pressure for proper metering to get that heat absorption, the only thing you can do is add heat (which you don't control the weather) restrict the volume (closed system, you can't shrink the pipes on command) or... add molecules ie more refrigerant.
    So, thats why you have extra refrigerant for winter temperatures for refrigeration systems with condensers located outdoors. TA-DA!
    Since most residential AC aren't needed in winter, they wont have that. Many businesses won't either but some big businesses might. And restaurants all have their condensers outside so they'd need the capability. Other refrigerators inside the house or restaurant that reject heat into the indoors area, well you're warmer than ambient outdoor air, i hope, so it isn't an issue either.
    There is the simplified version of why if anyone is curious.

    A box with air this dirty should have an independent, dedicated air filtration mini-system to keep the dirt out of the evap. Could greatly reduce evap clogging and almost eliminate difficult, corrosive fin cleaning.

  • @ViolentBeauregarde
    @ViolentBeauregarde 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Presumably that density factor (.100) must be determined both by the diameter of the tubing and the actual density of the refrigerant. So it would be better to call it a density factor for R-22 (at 0 F) per foot of 1/2 inch tube.

  • @markcarpenter3600
    @markcarpenter3600 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    From your presentation I made a spreadsheet to calculate this, which I'm trying to proof.
    0°F Density Factor = 0.100
    40°F Density Factor = 0.094
    Condenser length = 33"
    Condenser tube diameter = .5"
    Number of Tubes = 48
    Number of Bends = 46
    Return tube equivalent length = 0.25"
    Condenser equivalent length = 143.5'
    Total winter charge = 14 lbs 6 oz
    Winter charge needed for 0°F = 0 lbs 14 oz
    1. In that situation calculate an additional 14 oz after clearing the sight glass?
    2. And if you were above 70°F (HPR not bypassing) you would add the entire 14 lbs 6 oz after just clearing the sightglass?
    IMPORTANT Using this method with a clear sightglass, you would first need to remove refrigerant until the sightglass just starts to flash. Then add the refrigerant back in until you just clear the sightglass, before following this procedure.
    Remember to wait for the system to stabilize with every step along the way. Over charging have serious consequences!

    Wow that blew my mind
    my teacher did not tell us about that when I was in school lol thanks for the detail information
    Question now can I use this calculation on different refrigerant at 0 (zero) degrees for example 404a or 407c and so on ?
    Question do I need to have a headmaster in the unit so I can use this calculation or if the unit only has a liquid receiver or both ?

  • @TheCrystalGlow
    @TheCrystalGlow 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Why do other techs in other businesses keep claiming that a flashing sight glass does not matter? I would think it is pretty important, and if it didn’t matter would not be included to see. As to why though, I am not sure

    • @HVACRVIDEOS
      @HVACRVIDEOS  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It all depends on what type of system the sight glass is on. On a Refrigeration system with a TEV and a receiver the sight glass needs to be clear to insure proper refrigerant charge.

    • @mysock351C
      @mysock351C 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not an HVAC tech, but really a flashing sight glass indicates a 2-phase mixture (liquid + gas) coming back from the condenser. On most general refrigeration systems this usually is a low charge. There is not enough charge in the system for the high side pressure to be high enough to have only liquid refrigerant coming back in the return line. Since gas does not absorb much heat when it expands, the performance drops as the ratio to gas/liquid increases. Back when I was doing site survey work for retail construction I used to do the same thing by listening to the expansion valve and checking the suction and return line temperatures by hand on split-systems that had the evaporator accessible. The sound and the temperature difference across the evaporator provided a crude indication of how the equipment was operating.

      No if the system is designed properly once you add the flooded charge (winter charge) it strays in the system all year long, however if the system is not designed properly the receiver may not be big enough to hold the entire flooded charge throughout the summer.
