This video Charles proves that what I have been saying has been corect all along especially with American companies and the coils but part of the problem why these new evap coils in tranes Lennox carrier keep blowing leaks in them is because they are not designed to handle the higher pressures of 410a especially with aluminum. And I see now with the 410a phase out and so called replacement refrigerents the same crap happening with ohh you will lose some capicity use this refrigerent crap. But I did see that trane is testing with a company on Comercial rooftop units r 466a right now trying to compete with blueon r 458a. But here is what I think Charles speaking of old way r458a is approved for r22 systems and blueons patent will expire soon as it's been almost 15 years. Why not try adapting blueon to work with 410a Systems an option with just changing the pressure switches as necessary and adding adjustable txv valves. But still have the so called r 452b or whatever other stuff in case of a system leak and just needing to charge up the system temporarily after repairing a leak. Because this will keep happening until they find a, way to get the pressures back down to what r 22 levels were. And hint Charles American companies spent all this time adapting their equipment to 410a but now they need to adapt thier equipment to run and be manufactured like the r 22 systems were pressure wise and better and these coil issues with condenser coils and evap coils will stop and with sensers and all that stuff bevause reduced pressures and colder more efficient air equals less stress on the system and we can do with out a2l. Refrigerents or pure r 32 stiff which I don't like at all. Just my thoughts Charles. American companies get it together stop with the overcomplicated exclusive proprietary thermostat Comunicating crap and focos on the bigger issues at hand which is getting pressures down. Great video Charles
My shitty Goodman coil also sprung a leak only after a year of being installed.... It was right in the middle of the coil..... We were able to epoxy it shut until the replacement coil came in ....
What is all that silicone mess to the right? That looks like some install crap. Lucky for customer the coil is available. Either bad factory braz e or aluminum expansion at the weakest point.
The inspectors will fail inspection if they feel air leaking from anywhere. The sticker says it is designed to leak some air, but the inspectors say it is efficiency loss. We fill the gaps for inspection purposes, but the first time we come back it is gone for good.
Pretty much American companies need to get it together take cues from companies like Mitsubishi that offer side discharge condensers with inverter technology with exclusive propritiery thermostats that you have to use just for more efficient inverter technologies considered a trane and Lennox but that and the cost turned me right off. Unfortunately. Or gree with the flex shockingly whether you like Chinese or not thier condenser and evap coils still use copper and are not microchannel with inverter technology and theirs Samsung too and Mitsubishi has the blue ant corrosive stuff that they spray on thier coils. Just saying you can learn from what other countries do but do it better.
Trane is the less of all the evils, but still a pain. We average, the last 6 years, $5.5M a year in system replacement sales and see a lot larger volume of units than smaller companies. My opinions and experience with Trane come from a larger pool of experience with the product.
