    Until my barber retired I had been going to him for about 40 years. One day we were in conversation and I totally forgot to pay him. When I went to leave he said: "Hey bud, can you check that I gave you the correct change?" That's when I learned that's there's sometimes a better way to phrase things.

      Used to do network support over the phone. Instead of saying “are you sure the cable is plugged in?” We would say “could you unplug both sides of the cable, flip it around, and plug it back in?”
      Simple way to not call the customer an idiot yet still get them to check. :)

    no idea why I like your content so much - I'm literally not an HVAC employee, no real idea on the exact ways this all works, but I found your channel one day back in 2017 or 2018 I think looking for reasons to why the walk in freezer at the McDonald's I was working at kept breaking and being high on temp, and we had to throw things out not once, but THREE times in a few months, anyway, found you back then, your videos actually helped me and my case for management as to why they were the problem leaving the door open all the time amongst other things... so thanks for that.
    I still watch to this day because I find you interesting, and I learn so much random information about HVAC stuff, that is useless to me, as I'm obviously not a professional lmao but hey, what the heck. Great content. I use the "Big Picture" idea in my whole life man.

    One way to cut down on Nuisance Calls is to install an Alarm on the freezer doors that screams like a Banshee with it's Gonads caught in an Industrial 100 Ton Press whenever the door is open for more than 45 seconds...wire the Alarm in series with the Compressor Controls so if they disable the Alarm, the Freezer stops working and they'll quickly learn to stop propping the damn doors open...

    Your theory makes a lot of sense. Delivery day, recent defrost cycle, reliance on the in-door digital thermometer for temperature readings (and you are 100% right about health departments REQUIRING a second - preferably analog - thermometer in all walk-ins) and the likelihood of the door being propped open as the product is put away (and, hopefully, rotated to adhere to FIFO: First In, First Out, which takes some time). That's why I love the "Big Red Button" when it comes to working in the cooler for extended times.
    You also made a distinction between air temp in the box and product temperature - and this is somewhat of a Big Deal to pay attention to. It's easy for the untrained to see a high-temp problem and get on the horn right away to get a tech in there, when it's entirely possible the box just happened to be in Defrost and will return to normal operation shortly. In that time, the product remains at a safe storage temperature, because the box is only warm for a brief interval, not long enough to warm up the product.
    I actually caught that at work once, a then-new Crew Member came up to me concerned because the walk-in cooler was at 43°F (as seen from the digital thermometer by the door). Always a teachable moment, right? First thing I did was praise him for thinking about temps in the first place and noticing it, because it was critical to the health of our customers - and ourselves, since we're allowed free meals on shift. (Always start out with the positive, Mary Poppins wasn't wrong when she sang "A Teaspoon of Sugar Makes The Medicine Go Down.") Then I taught him not to rely on the door thermometer for accuracy, always double-check the analog thermometer hanging from the shelving. (Then I showed him the sensor bulb, which is mounted inside the box inches away from the door opening, at the same height as the door handle, and how warm air from a not-fully closed door or product/hands touching the sensor affects its reading.) Then, if the analog thermo was above 40°F, we were to take the digital food thermo and check the temperature of two different products, one in the middle of the box, one towards the rear wall of the box. If those temperatures were too high, THEN it was time to be concerned.
    To further educate, I showed him that the evaporator fan wasn't running, and then pointed to our vintage 1990s walk-in controller box (I forget the brand). It has a two-line LCD dot-matrix display that scrolls through both boxes' running states, air temperatures, humidity levels, and compressor load. "Cooler #1" was showing "Defrost," so slightly higher temperatures during this mode was not necessarily anything to be concerned about, provided we made a mental note to come back in about 15-20 minutes to check that it had resumed normal operation and the temperature was lowering. Finally, I praised him again for observing and bringing it to my attention, because I've found it's always a great idea to come back around and end things on a positive note.
    He's somewhat tech-savvy, so I felt comfortable going that deep down the rabbit hole with him. He's one of the two people I close with at the store, so I'd kinda like him to know a good chunk of what I know because, as Schoolhouse Rock said, "Knowledge is Power!"

    As an IT worker, the way you and I do things often overlaps, in this case, knowing the environment.
    We had an issue where one of our customer servers would go offline every night at the same time. After a few days of investigation, we figured out the cleaner was coming in and unplugging the Server to use the power for their vacuum.
    Eventually, we figured it out by speaking to the customer and finding out what happened around that time (and having the customer stay back to check haha).

    Here’s my (Riley’s) knowledge on HVACR for those who are interested (as a 13yr old as of 2024)
    1. Short Cycling: Short cycling is where a system turns on and off too quickly
    2. Pump Down: a pump down is where the refrigerant is moved to the receiver or condenser coil
    3. Metering Devices: I know many metering device types, like the Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) and Fixed Orifice
    4. Refrigerant: I know R22, R410A, R407C, R404A, R134A and R32
    5. Suction/Discharge: where the refrigerant goes into the outdoor unit compressor, and Discharge is where the refrigerant leaves the outdoor
    6. Liquid Slugging: Liquid slugging is where the compressor gets liquid no vapour which can destroy the compressor
    Correct me on any of them if i’m wrong. Kind regards, Riley.

    The Heatcraft QRC board has a large capacitor to allow the board to fully close the EEV in case of power failure. I wonder if yours didn't close, and allowed pressures to equalize? That could have caused the flooded start once power was restored.
    This is mentioned under Power Failures on pg18 of the QRC iom manual

    Temp clamps on each side of the drier will tell you if there is a pressure drop 🤘. Love your videos and how thorough you are on each job. That's the difference between a good tech and a great tech. Nice work!

    • @HVACRVIDEOS
      @HVACRVIDEOS  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      So you can’t use the temp drop method on suction driers only on liquid driers , the refrigerant needs to change state in order for the temp to drop and a suction drier only has vapor going to it so it’s not going to change state

    • @life_behind_bars
      @life_behind_bars 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @HVACRVIDEOS a restriction would still cause a pressure drop despite the refrigerant state, and pressure = temp, so wouldn't it still be measurable with temp clamps? Honestly, I've never tried it on a suction line drier. So now I'm curious about it. I've always just removed them to prevent the inevitable problems it will cause down the road. Anyway I appreciate you letting me pick your brain 🧠

      @@life_behind_bars Don't think the temperature drop method will work with suction line driers. The reason it works with liquid line driers is when they get sufficiently restricted they start working like a txv. Also I think if you had sufficient subcooling you could still have a slightly restricted liquid line drier and still not have a temperature drop, best method if there are access points is take actual pressure readings.

      @heavydiesel I'm thinking about setting up an experiment here in the shop (when I get time). By putting a valve on the suction line with pressure taps on both sides so I can throttle the valve down until I get a pressure drop and then test temps on both sides of the valve and see what happens. Seems like fun and educational. I know I'm a party animal!
