Like for example the pumps are also blowers and even the switch that would be installed in the wall what's the multiple contacts if I find them so I can get them useful for some projects.

I recall hooking up a 1/2hp compressor one time with my apprentice . I ran out to the van for something , came back and he had the suction rotolock all done (I was pleased) we vacuumed down , held the “wc drop beautifully, charged , fired it up and suction pressure didn’t move , but compressor sounded like it was in a vacuum , I scratched my head for a min , finally asked , did you pull the rubber plug before hooking up the rotolock ? He said “there’s a plug? “ I had a good laugh ,reclaimed , pulled the roto and there was the factory seal plug 😆 lesson learned ! No idea how this unit had ANY flow , how was this not picked up on day one of commission😳

A little preventative maintenance would have saved them some money.

@ArkamasRoss 4 года назад

That costs money. Companies have a sh**ty habit of blowing things like that off until they're forced to deal with it. Then they pay out and bitch about the budget when things come up about other necessities. Saw it with the company tractors at my last job. Sure enough, they didn't bother with maintenance and the things had all kinds of issues. One had to be cracked in half to have work on the transmission done, which would probably take a few good weeks, meanwhile leaving us with three less-than-capable tractors. I got the hell out before that needed to happen. Not suffering for the sake of the company's incompetence and greed.

@MrMattumbo 4 года назад

To be fair most people are jaded by the constant sales-pitches they have to endure for service contracts and extended warranties with all sorts of costs, hidden fees, and legalese that makes it worthless when you actually need it. That's not necessarily the case here since I think we can trust our local HVAC guy to be fair when doing a yearly checkup, but with other industries it is the case and it's driven a lot of people to just ignore maintenance till it bites them since they don't understand the technology. I think a good idea for HVAC techs and the like would be to make pamphlets that explain what wears out and why so they can hand them out to commercial customers to easily explain to them with, no pressure, why they might want to consider signing up for regular maintenance checks. It's a lot easier to justify the cost when you understand the value you can get out of it vs just trusting the guy who's making a buck off it that it's necessary.

@jpp9876 4 года назад

@@MrMattumbo Yes with most monthly contracts the service company under performs. Repairs with commercial refrigeration is very expensive. I believe tmresturaunts would do well to train an employee to clean condensor coils, maybe check amperage on motors and check on equipment once or twice a week

@MrMattumbo 4 года назад

@@jpp9876 Yeah if any business, not just resturants, gave valued employees a bit more training and compensation to handle stuff like that they'd save tons of money. A lot of stuff isn't complicated, there's just no incentive to learn how to do it and convince management to let you do it. Restaurants especially would be wise to do it though, a bad walk-in can ruin their day the same way computer problems wreak havoc on other businesses, yet unlike them who have IT guys on staff a restaurant doesn't have anyone with the slightest clue how they work. I wouldn't recommend sending the busboy up to mess with 3-phase electric stuff but simple maintenance done with safe procedures could avoid the need and spot the problems that need an HVAC tech early. In this case just understanding the function of the swamp cooler and checking that it's running with a thermometer every month probably could've spotted this before it threatened their food stock. I was a cook once and the regulations around keeping your cold stuff cold are strict, if followed properly any serious downtime on the walk-in could force you to throw everything out and cost thousands of dollars.

@rediondragon 5 лет назад

For those boxes with the swamp cooler, since it is so crucial to keep those boxes cool to a certain extent, shouldn't there be like a thermometer type sensor in the box and have it display temp near a cooler, or maybe a little indicator light for if it hit a certain temp, the restaurant personnel can contact you before the same problem of overheating killing off the compressors and fan motors.

@Skyhawk1998 5 лет назад

There are a million different ways to verify that the enclosure is at a certain temp and operating properly. It not having any sort of safeties or monitoring is absolutely bonkers. You could use a donut (small coil that reads amperage, like his hand-held amp-clamp) on the pump or a flowmeter in the pipe for the water flow, a paddle switch for the fan, and a thermocouple in the enclosure, plus a small and probably pretty inexpensive electrical cabinet, and you would be safeguarded against any equipment-murdering failures like this.

@Ka9radio_Mobile9 5 лет назад

When you place you palm flat on a compressor or grab a copper pipe and it is electrified your muscles in your hand contract, involuntarily, you grab on to that item and your not able to let go, you can easily get electrocuted.

@gadgethunter5732 5 лет назад

Finding that plastic cap internal of the roto lok was hilarious. The company I worked for in Windsor Ontario had installed a new 200 ton chiller on top of a 26 floor condo building. The compressor kept kicking out on high head. The guys assigned to it never found anything out of the ordinary. One night I was on call and ended up there. Compressor off on hi head. I climbed onto the top of the water cooling tower and just happened to notice that about 20% of the branch lines at the end of the main 8" water feed line weren't spraying hardly any water. I shut everything down. Was able to pull a couple of branch line pipes off, reached in and felt around. The { it rhymes with plucking } plumbers that connected the water tower had pushed the plastic pipe shipping cap straight into the main supply line water feeder pipe and it got pushed down to near end of the line. Some times it would be sideways and allow sufficient flow, and sometimes it would turn and block the last 20% of branch lines. Pulled it out. That solved that. And the view from up that high on a nice summer evening was outstanding. Keep up the good work. And stay curious. LOL.

Great troubleshooting! That red plastic cap inside the suction line service valve was, in affect, serving as a restriction, preventing enough cool suction gas from flowimg over the motor windings in that hermetic compressor. It's a wonder that compressor lasted as long as it did, given that it never had a sufficient amount of motor cooling, even when it was working. Good work!

Thirty four years ago, I installed a ton of these rooftop refrigeration units. I never saw a swamp cooler connected to the rack before. I guess that would only work in low humidity. In my opinion, it's a lot easier to change out a compressor in commercial refrigeration equipment. Replacing a compressor in A/C residential equipment is usually a lot more work.

Cant believe that they didn't make each of those condenser fans blowing out of that enclosure.. Just seems that if the swamp cooler goes, that at least it wouldn't be heating it self out..

I dunno if you mentioned it, but that bit of plastic is common place for compressors and other things that require that the insides stay clean before installation. Someone probably forgot to remove it when they installed it. When the person tightened the fitting, the compression deformed the outer edge lip of the plastic (your shard) and the remaining chunk was able to be broken free from the heat and pressure. Surprising it lasted this long, only probably cause the plastic probably floats in the refrigerant and oil, which allowed it to get past. At least we all not know that this refrigerant doesnt eat plastic!!

I used to always do a suction line filter change after about a week of running when you have a compressor burn out. So when you change out the compressor put some isolation valves on it so you dont have to recover to change it out... I realize that your ohm readings were good and nothing to ground like a burn out but with that much warranty exposure it's very good insurance - you dont want to be called back in 10 months with another burnout.

Currently deciding whether or not to make the jump to a little bit bigger company that does equal amounts of residential, commercial, and refrigeration...I've kinda plateau'd on my learning curve where I'm at and am the most experience technician(with only 3 summers in the business).

Where do you live?

I worked for a very, very small resi shop straight out of school and learned nothing. When I went to work for a small, high volume commercial company I learned tons! Things I never even dreamed I would end up working on....mostly commercial restaurant equipment. OK, a LOT of restaurant equipment. Best career move I made. went back to a resi shop for a very, very short time and realized that I hated it.

Commercial refrigeration is where I learned the most. I now own a small (3 techs) company and do mostly refrigerated warehouses and supermarket equipment. If you're looking for a challenge, the big stuff is where it's at.

The installer missed that tube plug during installation. I was a QEM manufacture and the condensing unit a lot of times comes loose and in a bag. I also weld the valve with it off the compressor to keep the heat down. Premature compressor failure would be expected.

That is why there is a overflow in the bottom of the tray, just below the pad trays.

@benjaminjeffries2517 4 года назад

Lots of factors there. I truly think your major suction restriction was actually what killed that comp...The calamity of the 50 % drop in condenser coolin air coupled with the water distribution failure in the evaporative cooler was the final straw 😂. Nice money spinner that one. 👍

Holy crap at that the plastic plug left in the suction!

Love your videos brother! Have about 12 years in the trade but not much in Refrigeration aspect of it. Taking courses at my local union hall for refrigeration I don’t care about the late service calls as long as I’m working for myself lol

Whoever installed the new suction service valve never pulled the cap out of it. Crazy

@HVACRVIDEOS 6 лет назад

latrobenut66 I'm almost positive that was a factory mistake, the suction service valve came installed on the condensing unit.

When the service valve was welded it must have melted the rotor lock valve cap making the system actually work hahahah

@LMSILVIA 4 года назад

If you melt that plastic cap while brazing, the valve is toast at that point...

@KurtisPape 4 года назад

@@LMSILVIA that's not particularly true, even wrapped with wet rag it will still can melt the plastic because it would melt at only 100dC. Service valves can withstand 100 degrees from a hot discharge no problems. The only thing that can go is the gland which can be replaced.

Im an install apprentice right now but i wanna do service once I get comfortable with installs. I cant wait to be on call and start fixing and troubleshooting

@nunyabusiness6746 3 года назад

God bless you, that’s how I felt forty years ago too ! But I feel sorry for you because these simple mechanically controlled units are becoming rare, get used to computer controlled units with more bells and whistles than the space shuttle.

I'm an apprentice Refrigeration tech. Trying to get opportunities with my company to work on stuff like this I've been on AC installs for over a year. Looks so interesting
