@@arthouston7361 As the owner of a 4.0L Jeep, and as someone who has worked on several 4.0L Jeeps, you're not wrong. Although, by some miracle, mine doesn't leak a drop! Previous owner put over $1,000 into making sure it didn't leak before I bought it two years ago. It's not a question of "IF" it'll start leaking, it's a question of "WHEN" and "WHERE" - but at least for now, I have one of the extremely rare non-leaking Jeeps. I've gone and jinxed myself, haven't I?

@uzlonewolf 5 месяцев назад

Those all-in-one boxes/islands would probably be good ideas if they were designed as modules with repair in mind. One section has a problem? Just pull a few bolts and that section can be removed for easy repair or replacement. But of course that makes the initial purchase price much higher so they don't do it.

@ThePowerofElectricity 5 месяцев назад

For these systems an oil separator in the discharge line seems like an idea to make the compressors last longer... Have it separate out a good part of the trapped oil and link it back to the suction with a capillary tube and cut-off solenoid for the pump-down. Considering how much time you spent on just this service call, it's likely cheaper to install these than just call you every other year. But hey, if the customer doesn't want to do it, it's more money for you later. Win-win.

@HVACRVIDEOS 5 месяцев назад

Yeah but to be fair it would likely plug up the return line because they don’t do good maintenance

@ThePowerofElectricity 5 месяцев назад

@@HVACRVIDEOS That is a very valid concern. Any added part is another possible point of failure.

@glennsepelak5113 4 месяца назад

What what what what are you saying? you've made mistakes? I've been doing this for over 40 years. I've never made one single mistake.

@JoeCdaYT 5 месяцев назад

A suggestion that I could make is to resolve the oil issue is to put a cap tube after the txv to the suction line after the sensing bulb. Make a p trap with the cap tube after the txv to let oil get trapped but still let a little refrigerant after it has cleared all the oil out. This is the engineering mind that I have going that says how to fix the issue. I have run into this same issue before with failed power heads even on box systems. More info for the other techs in the field to pickup on when they find things like this.

@HappilyHomicidalHooligan 5 месяцев назад

If the Restaurant doesn't want to lift the rack to do a proper repair, is it possible to use a thick epoxy resin to coat the floor of the rack instead? Use a thick enough Epoxy and it should flow into the holes and plug them up, then set into a strong plastic sheet sealing the rotten area away from any water coming from the rack area itself such as when you're cleaning it... That won't be cheap, but it should cost a HELL of a lot less than lifting the entire rack to replace the rotted sheet metal would...and it would have the benefit of being done while the rack is running too...

@terminator761 5 месяцев назад

A big issue might be, the txv entering on the bottom and the sucction leaving at the top. Back in trade school we talked about it because the refrigerent has to move up against gravity and the oil falls back inside and stays down, im pretty sure if enter from top end put a nice p trap in there it might fix the issue. But i know its a pain since you dont have any space in there

@rustblade5021 4 месяца назад

one of our guy's hand got burned when he was unsweating a condenser and oil caught fire and spewed a jet of flame, even though the system was at 0 psi... refrigerant can get trapped behind oil, that's why it sometimes "burps" doing recovery and the microns shoot way up. we now no longer unsweat compressors, dryers, evaporators or condensers

@Arides2010 5 месяцев назад

Out of curiosity: What kind of gaskets are in the solenoid valve you brazed in? The valves our company usually uses have rubber o-rings that get roasted if you do not cool the valve during brazing or disassemble it before hand… great video as always. Keep it up.

@HVACRVIDEOS 5 месяцев назад

That valve is too small to really protect, just gotta go for it hot and fast and cool it afterwards

@R290s_biggest_fan 5 месяцев назад

There isn't enough refrigerant velocity through the txv when the powerhead is bad, traps the oil.

We take care of a Kairak rack for one of our customers. I’m dreading the day I have to make repairs like this in their extremely busy line. So far since I’ve been with this company (1.5 years) it’s dumped the charge 3 times from lines rubbing out. They refuse to do any maintenance.

@adamdomaciucet2105 5 месяцев назад

Oil separator, Chris... It would solve this, use either a piston with a pulsing solenoid or a small capillary with pump down cutoff solenoid. Catches something like 98% of the oil, which would not solve the problem but definitely delay the onset of the symptoms. Otherwise 10/10 vid.

Awesome in-depth video, Chris, with great team work. You put a lot into it going through everything and covering the important details. It was one thing to see all that oil come oil which makes you feel sorry for the compressor, but it was quite another to see your new 'look' when it came to the closing commentary! Is compressor oil actually from the proverbial 'fountain of youth' (which would explain the high cost of compressor oil as well as why HVACRs never seem to get old or at least age much more slowly), or does it make your make your hair fall out (which would explain the lack of facial hair and cap)?

Only 1 coil doing all the work for some time but only noticed when 2nd power head went out. In the mean time coils just an oil accumulator. Knew immediately the solonoid valve was good. I always changed power heads live. pump down raise tstat to de energize solonoid in and out. 43fc i think. Easy peasy. 😊

I had a contractor install a dual evap in a walk in and they left the individual temp controls install so only one evap would run and rhe other would accumulate all the damn oil so id lose all the oil in the compressor. I had to twin them. Running a compressor ar half capacity with large line sets is a recipe for disaster

So looking by the setup looks like a P.F. Chang’s. We do work for them here in Chattanooga. They have almost identical setup with custom built stuff and condensing unit is in rack. Ended up 7/9 of their evaporation coils had leaks. We ended up going back with all new heat craft coils since somehow the coils couldn’t be sourced. Leaks were so bad we were going back every month to top off charge

@taylorj9920 5 месяцев назад

They were sourcing those original coils from a vendor that was getting them custom specd and built in bulk orders for those coil assemblies they we're installing during their retrofit shutdowns
