How To Find And Fix Refrigerated Air Compressor Dryer Faults

Рет қаралды 8,389

9 ай бұрын

Compressed air dryers are used to dry the air after it leaves the air compressor. Because the air leaves the compressor hot it will condensate in the air lines and that can result in moisture in your paint gun or whatever your using the compressed air for.

Phenomenal technician come to mind when i watch your videos. Thanx for sharing. BTW 🖕🏾Shout out to HVAC/R KZfaq police 🚔. They are like armchair quaterbacks. Sometimes you just have to trust your knowledge and experience. Most jobs are not done in a laboratory setting. They are real world. You do the best you can with the given circumstances.

407C is actually a pretty common refrigerant for chillers, at least in Germany in come across a lot of them build in the early 2010s. Aermec, Airwell and Galletti used it a lot.

I think the company needs to ditch the sand blasting and switch to laser ablation.

@bassman34516 9 ай бұрын

Those air dryers will have a hot gas bypass valve built into the refrigeration side because it has no way of knowing when air is being used or it’s not. So it needs a way to put a artificial load on the refrigeration side during times of low air demand.

We seem to have similar days. From ice machines to air dryers and everything in between. You should see the chiller units we work on for residential Custom home Ice rinks

The DRN alarm triggers annually on run time. Once a year. You hold reset for like 10 seconds. Its to be sure customer gets a tech out yearly to check the machine. You take the top off the drain valve. Hold reset and it will clear alarm. install top of drain valve done.

I see you have the testo 570s is that correct, Im thinking about the 550s or 570s testo claims the 570s has more features do you use them?

@HVACRSurvival 7 ай бұрын

You’re correct I have the 570s. I’ve have both and I would go for the 570s because they zero out better and seam more accurate.

@throttlebottle5906 9 ай бұрын

the test pressure loss of 1psi over 15 minutes, is either lack of temperature or voltage compensation. then again it's not many-thousand dollar lab test gear 🤣🤣

@HVACRSurvival 9 ай бұрын

You can see I had the temp probe on, it has compensation but like you said it's not lab quality and this was not a science project. 😁
