I've done a lot of air conditioners in the past but it was fun watching you do one and you always give good hints

@peppermeat8059 Год назад

do you know much you earn average for the silver, copper, steel iron?

@dalecaruso2052 Год назад

Just watched your video and decided to take the rads out of a bled air conditioner. Got 14 pounds with the steel ends left on. They pay 1.50 per pound Canadian like this, so that good enough for me. Thanks for the inspiration.

@mrkipling2201 5 лет назад

These are the small household ones and you get an ok bit of scrap for what they are. Obviously the industrial ones are very nice scrap wise. Had quite a few of both in the past, they’re always welcome!!

Hey Moose!!! Perfect timing of the reboot...i am about to scrap one of these out.

@northbound-yx5el 5 лет назад

Nice job Moose.

@Aaron-qy3tu 5 лет назад

Hello sir, Thank you for the beautiful video. My proposal is that you can test the engine, in case it works, it can be used for other use as a discharge pump. And in the opposite case we can use the same to recover a lot of copper inside. Then the fan can be used as an air extractor. Thanks again.

inside of the the temperature little line thing that controls on and off has platinum in it same as a hot water tank or anything that has one. in front of the front radiator that goes to the control box and has a plastic piece to keep it off the grill.

@kitfoxflyer 5 лет назад

you should break down the value of the stripped goods so you can show what the reclaimed money you get and start with the gross weight and break it down

@sojourner1511 5 лет назад

Hey Moose, The "term" is Venting. Cutting the lines or puncturing the coils. Same for reefers, uh refrigerators, freezers etc. Good video. Thanks.

Great scrap out bro

@LordPadriac 3 года назад

A drill bit through the top and bottom to drain the oil out of those sealed units - which you can keep for cheap cutting oil for other drilling or metal sawing operations - and any one of the super cheap plasma cutters on Amazon make swiss cheese of the sealed units. A plasma will cut it to pieces in about two minutes.

@tonyjensen8847 5 лет назад

@sojourner1511 5 лет назад

1st item is a thermostat, the switch has mercury in a long tube. That is the 2nd thermostat. 2nd fan is called a Squirrel cage. This is like a refrigerator with out the cabnit. Just condensed. A condenser is in there too. Cya.

@dwightgordon803 5 лет назад

Good stuff, as always. I don't remember what your conclusion was on the question of whether it is worth it to further break down the radiators for aluminum and copper.

I would really like to know the answer to this also and how the best way to do it would be

The oil is mineral oil. I drain it into a pan and pour it into a bottle. Then I use it to wipe down my tools or lube hinges. :)

@plumbob916 4 года назад

The scrap yards in my area will not buy anything a/c related if you don't have an HVAC license.

@jeep2003 4 года назад

You missed one important detail. The canister on the side of the compressor is not always clean copper! even if it passes the scratch test they are sometimes still magnetic. My yard checks them. And ofcourse sometimes they are all steel. Thus the paint

@jasonmakowski8719 3 года назад

I wonder if you could melt the silver out and seperate it. And also the gold melts 40 degree cooler than copper. I wonder if you can get it that exact on the temperature to melt the gold out. Isn't most solder silver

@Boldo75 5 лет назад

Good stuff. Can you show how you get the silver contacts off? Do you just pry them off? Take care and God Bless.

@pederlindstrom3132 5 лет назад

Hello Moose, northen parts of Sweden here and a fellow scrapper. Boltcutters,, here we call it The Master Key 🙂 Those are good scrap value, done more then one I can tell you. Scrapping rocks here but I have been slow lately due to recovery from heart surgery. Great video.

@hootiehootheblowphish4109 5 лет назад

Love the videos. I'm new to scrapping and these have been helpful. I know you said to take the cooper loops and steel plates off the radiators. Is it better to scrap the radiator like you left it or can you make more money cutting out each piece of copper inside of it?

@williamwahlert8414 4 года назад

Yes you can make more... well it depends on your yard. I've been to yard clean or dirty some price. And other yard clean one price dirty a lower price. Ultimately for each scrapper it comes down to your time. The volume you get. And how you move the scrap. No wrong answer.

@williamwahlert8414 4 года назад

You can make more but time to money to cut the pip out of the rads not really worth it unless you have volume and a rad stripper. But then you are going more processing then scraping.

The two small circle parts that you said are silver contacts...then you show the three connection oarts right after snd say silver plated....my qyestion is..are the two circles pure silver? If nit are they only plated or a different grade? Thanks for your help Moose. Keep up the goof work.

@davida.2623 3 года назад

What kind of silver are the contacts and who buyes them or are they sold on line? My yard does not buy precious metals. I am located in the westerns suburbs if philadelphia. Thanks

@0007smitty 5 лет назад

A lot of the time the copper filter on the compressor has 2 steel screens in side run a magnet over it, you will know if it does. If it does I use a side grinder to cut it open and remove the steel screens. love your videos keep them coming :)

@rickeylocke8610 3 года назад

Just starting out. Q: what do you do with the oil you remove from the compressor

@Sophie-cat- 2 года назад

I think I will stick with just going to work to make money.

@davida.2623 3 года назад

What kind of oil is in the compressor? Can the oil be used for other uses,is it safe to touch?

@michaelfryar6900 4 года назад

It would most likely be number two copper because of the oil inside

@jasonmakowski8719 3 года назад

No it's worth taking them apart. If you have the right sawzaw blades. I take the oil out and pour on the case to keep my blade frim ruining

I have found some screws are not magnetic, but look the same as regular screws and some small rods in a scrap computer are not magnetic, but look like they should be. what are they?

@moosescrapper5928 5 лет назад

they can be aluminum or non magnetic stainless steel.

@nancybennett7811 5 лет назад

also, is there value in the white connecting small wire tape in computers?

@moosescrapper5928 5 лет назад

just the ends if they are gold plated. It may take a couple pounds of the ends to make a gram of gold though. The rest is low grade wire

@adambennnett4776 5 лет назад

Just getting in to scrapping how much would you make off one ac unit if I broke it down like you did

@williamwahlert8414 4 года назад

I rough rule of thumb I use is ac units and dehumidifiers that size 17 to 25 bucks. Bigger house ones 60 to 100 bucks. But depends on market conditions

@williamwahlert8414 4 года назад

And current yard prices as well as type of metals. Copper to aluminum to speed and other Ebay resale reusable parts.

@imunique7469 5 лет назад

Hi moose, ive collected one of those small refrigerators that u find in hotels, well it was punctured while being cleaned from ice build up in the freezer area and I was wondering since it was punctured does that mean freon has escaped and is it safe to scrap?
