Refrigerant circuits are not supposed to leak. When they do the repair prices can vary from a schrader core to an evaporator replacement. Luckily with todays technology we have products that can solve a small leak at a fraction of most replacement costs.

Used that exact same product and variant on my 25 year old leaking r-22 system a couple years ago and it is still leak free.

@z06rcr Ай бұрын

I used this product 3 years ago on a system that needed 2 lbs of refrigerant per year and it worked. This season the compressor started becoming very noisy… added NuCalgon A/C Renew and it quickly quieted down.

Replacing the filter drier in a year or two will give you back its life expectancy Lots and lots of contaminants from that constant filling without sealing

Just ordered a full kit to see if it will solve my slow leak issue in my mobile home. Fingers crossed that it works!

I have been dealing with a leak for the past month in the coil during this texas heat and my AC guy is going to try this despite his skepticism. This video gives me much hope, thanks for sharing man. I could use the break from expenses lol

Did you get this done yet? Curious to see if it worked out for you

@@jamesbroomfield7799 we did get it done, so far so good. AC has been cooling well. He will be coming back to test for leaks in the coming weeks. 👍🏽

I put leak sealer in my old R22 system. I'd have to add twice a summer, but in heat pump mode, it was 2 days. Afterwards it ran for another 3 years before the compressor died and never added anymore R22.

I like your troubleshooting card taped to your gauge set. Great Idea!

@WorldofHVAC Ай бұрын

Thanks! It has information on both sides but the compressor scenarios are clutch

@WorldofHVAC do you have a website or ig that you can post that troubleshoot card on?

Nu-Calgon Ultimate Easy Seal is the best product.

Did you check for acid while you were there? If there was moisture that was already hanging out in the line set before you got there and it already became acidic, then the drying agents won't be helpful meanwhile the heat will also accelerate the instability of the refrigerant to form more acid.

Caron dioxide is a non-condensable gas and should not be used to inject the leak repair fluid. Recommend weigh-in refrigerant since system is undercharged anyway.

"a non-condensable gas" Lol.

Are you mixing C02 and 410?

@steveengleman9257 3 ай бұрын

Great video! Question: Should the ac unit be off when you inject the sealant? Thanks.

@WorldofHVAC 3 ай бұрын

No I would treat it like refrigerant. Send it with the flow instead of pushing it into standing pressure

Dependant on the size of the leaks and where you live If theyre pinholes and you run heat pump prodominately you may make it There are some that can handle 100°+ which will seal it

Yes, but most of the time, these don't work, but you might get lucky. I've injected a ton of these things for my customers, and very few made any difference. I think it's mostly a scam from the product manufacturers.

Honestly if its the joint at the bottom of outdoor unit where the copper meets aluminum I wouldn't try it. Thats a tricky spot. I've heard of guys using the Solderweld copper to aluminum rods or those new sharkbite fittings.

@@TerryRGrahamDefinitely not whst the consensus is. Most ppl notice improvement for small leaks. Similar tech as sealer for radiators which I've used myself.

You pressed the trigger three times, yet you told us to press it one. Is there a chance you could inject air not CO2 that was not purged from the sealant tube?

@WorldofHVAC 2 ай бұрын

The video they had on their website shows one shot. But I wanted to go slow because I didn't know how fast the gun was going to push the chemical in. I didnt want to push C02 into the system by holding down the trigger too long. I couldn't reshoot that demonstration, I said one shot but played it safe.

@WorldofHVAC well... the unit froze up when I wasn't home maybe 2 days after putting the stop leak in, and then the compressor burnt up the next day lol.
