Mini-Splits Doing What They Do Best 🤬

It's no secret that I don't like mini splits, probably because when they act up they can be a real pain to diagnose. There's no denying they have their place and this is one of those videos. Two different units at two different locations.

Split systems are widely used in Australia and evaporative ducted, ducted refrigeration is rare domestically mostly used in commercial buildings, hospitals etc. Splits are efficient, precise temp control.

I started my career working with these Mitsubishi units. For server room applications, get the indoor unit a size up from the outdoor unit. Keeping condensing pressure up is very important as you noticed. They run without superheat. The accumulator is there for a reason as you stated. With age, suction pressure drops without any real reason and they freeze up. Again, get the bigger size indoor unit to mitigate that. Once inverters became prevalent these problems disappeared.

That's a perfectly decent computer room. In fact, it's fantastic. Most customers of mine end up using the server room as a catch-all for all of their flammable office supplies, and a couple have used them for janitorial supplies as well. Personally, I think that letting contracted janitors have full access to your servers and network equipment is a bad idea.

The biggest issue, to me, with trying to use them for your main system is that you don't get whole house circulation. If you need boosted cooling in one room, then they're perfect. If you're cooling several rooms, then you're better off having some sort of circulator. In fact, our whole house standard system spent several days in circulate only mode. (at one point, it started to smell funny.. Not sure why)

I just installed one of the Pioneer units. I used the blue nylog flair and thread sealant, but it doesn't harden like what I saw in your video. I had shortened the line from 16 feet to 11 feet and the heat wouldn't work very well below freezing. So I had to pull a little bit of r410a. After that the unit started heating like it was supposed to. What would happen before adjusting the r410a was that the pressure would climb to about 590psi before settling down to about 550psi at 40 degrees, and then the low side would sit at 160 psi at 40 degrees. After pulling some of the refrigerant and getting the low side to settle down to 120 psi at 47 degrees F and 500 psi at 47 degrees I was able to get the unit to make heat. Now I went from 100 degree air at the indoor unit at 20 degrees F outside to 127 degree air medium high fan speed at 8 degrees F. To work on these units it takes an understanding of control systems and refrigeration. The 3 phase motor controllers don't just look at the 4-5 temperature sensors on the units, but they also look at motor load. So for example if the load on the motor is low and the heat isn't within spec on the output of the compressor the unit can detect and the low side is colder than desired then the unit can detect low refrigerant. Anyway that is why the manufactures just say to weigh in the refrigerant.

@@HVACRSurvival they run a completely flooded evaporator in ideal situations, especially at full load. If insulated properly, the suction superheat should be very close to zero. I start getting concerned when I see a suction saturation below freezing and superheat much higher than 5-10. Superheat really depends on lineset length though. At the end of the day, half of mini split calls wind up with a call to tech support anyway. They run on that FM technology. 🤣 Edit: this only pertains to mini splits with EEVs in the condenser. Whatever that thing you were working on is doesn’t count 🤣

@etherealrose2139 2 жыл бұрын

Superheat isn't as useful nowadays since the drive can adjust the metering and the fans on the fly to keep it near 1 or 0 plus you have an accumulator. Though it might be okay on that Mitsubishi. Idk. Wish they put high and low side ports on them anyways, I don't like the trend of single ports.

It also comes with all the bells and whistles wifi, remote etc etc. I watched many install videos on YT. Myself and another guy took about half a day to install it with lineset covers inside and outside. I ran my lineset down the inside wall then out instead of running it out and down the outside wall. I wanted the landscaping to hide the lineset so I came out low and ran it horizontal to the condenser and put that on a hurricane approved wall bracket. Rectorseal makes that.

You mentioned not hearing of Pioneer brand. Here in South Florida they are common among mini-splits and relatively inexpensive. Owned by a company, Parker Davis HVAC International, based in Miami, which is perhaps the reason they're more popular in Florida. In the case of the Mitsubishi in the school/server room -- you mentioned a couple times that it's a generic unit when you clarified that it's on a simple relay, not variable-speed. Can you clarify -- it's still an inverter-based compressor, only limited to an on/off state without variable frequency? Sidenote: I'm not an HVAC tech. I have an electronics background and -- unfortunately -- get forced to maintain some of my mini-splits because *I cannot find someone like you, who is willing to do work on them.* I believe this is the greatest issue with mini-splits -- finding a HVAC tech willing to work on them.

@HVACRSurvival 2 жыл бұрын

Correct even though it's inverter which saves you some money it still doesn't give you the variable capacity to swing up and down on hot and cold days, it's fixed at one speed. Variable capacity is how they get the efficiency to the extreme and are able to make it work in extremely cold temperatures. It slows down and speeds up the compressor and the fans to match the capacity and environment that it's working in.
