Ran into the same thing today for the first time, had me scratching my chin for a minute. Remembered Eddie L's video, tried to pump it down. No Joy. Nice Video.
Hey Brad Great Video brother. Ya Buddy that compressor is done for great find. Gotta love that duct work that is just horriable i see crap just like it here all the time What did you do with your Smans Great video take care
In his description he has a symptom if you have less than a 3:1 compression ratio, I thought that the compression ratio should be kept as low as possible to increase efficiency and to extend life.
Ha. I got Testo 550 the first time and now I am getting a Fieldpiece STA2 and a Fieldpiece Mini wetbulb/drybulb meter. When I saw your EER video I already had it in my mind that I must have the stuff to do that. I had a wetbulb meter, but I wanted something that could be "in duct". I was thinking that I would love to see the BTUH/EER difference on some of these units where, for example, after new TXV's. As the new TXV holds superheat at 10(or whatever) instead of 25 how much would eer improve
Thank you! If you check out my SMAN failure video you can see what happend. Something broke under the face of the gauges and was leaking refrigerant. Thanks for watching!
Bad valves ain't cool big waste of electricity right there!! OMG tarring that return like that oh the humanity job security I guess, but makes yah sick to see that stuff. Great video!!!! :)
