I have had to do this exact repair several times. Always seems to be after another tech was wrenching on it earlier in the day, made the leak worse, and then went home for the day pretending he never saw it leaving it for the on-call guy to fix at 1am.

Ive learned the hardway with Nylog- spread on the entire mating surface, especially on metals like stainless. Nylog doesnt spread under the compression and can end up not sealing if theres bare area connecting ID-OD

Nice fix on that flare! One question about transferring oil from that tripped compressor. I would fear that the reason for the trip was a winding failure which could have lead to contamination of the oil with burnout residue. I expect you are completely aware of this but would like to know how you decide when to do this versus not do it. Those singapore noodles look fire! Love that stuff.
@gendronhvac-r12699 ай бұрын
Really good question, In a perfect world I would leave that compressor filled with oil. Come back during the week and access it deeper. what I would do is. Make sure that the compressor is not Electrically compromised. Do a basic ohm reading. Then I would try to find out if there was some other cause on why the compressor was not turning on, for example, a safety or liquid flood back. If I deemed that there was another cause, then it would be safe for me to transfer the oil. Because it stands to reason that it was not the compressor that burned out But it was the other cause that kept the compressor from running, so the oil should be safe. I also look at the oil and see if its Dark brown or black. But in a situation like this it's a little more difficult. I might run a basic Electrical check of the compressor. Then just push out the oil If it doesn't look bad. This is probably not proper practice. But in the moment I need to get the system running, I don't have enough oil. If when I came back during the week, I found that the compressor was the issue and that it was a burn out. Then I would have to install acid absorbing filter dryers on the rack. And maybe consider doing an oil change. I'm not sure if it was the right call but it's what I had to do to keep it running for the weekend and save the food. I'm still learning every day so I don't know if there was another way to have approached it. If the store had the space, I might have pulled some product lines and had them reduce the load on the rack. But anyway I hope the video was helpful to you :)

I wish they would quit the fearmongering on A3 refrigerants here in the US so we can use R290. It's a terrific refrigerant, having even better performance than R22 did, and it can drop right in!
@gendronhvac-r12696 ай бұрын
I have not worked with R290 very much. Do you have experience with dropping it in? I thought you needed special components that would not cause a spark. I'm honestly asking i'm curious I don't know much about that.
@douro206 ай бұрын
@@gendronhvac-r1269 I don't but I know it can be done. It's been used to replace R22 in residential cooling in Europe for decades. But you are right that you would have to use non-sparking tools when servicing such systems.

22:45 are you pressurizing with discharge pushing the oil out of the compressor through the oil separator and reservoir and then back into the suction line?
@gendronhvac-r12693 ай бұрын
No, My gauges are hooked to the port on the back of the compressor. Then I have another hose hooked up at the compressoil pump. That hose is fed directly into the suction. I feed the Discharge through my gauges. Pressurize the compressor. Is that pressure pushes the oil out through the Pump. And into the suction. Hope that helps

@elplevonrooo395 I never had a ton of experience with Co2. I know if a co2 rack is shut down too long. The pressure will rise and then the pressure release valve will blow. I do not know the exact way to work on a co2 rack. I just did Not want to give the impression that you could shut down any rack And have it be fine and that there is a difference in how you treat c02. But the exact way to do that I do not know

Shouldn’t you pull it down to 500 microns according to EPA Rules??
@gendronhvac-r12699 ай бұрын
Inches of water column is just a different measurement of Vacuum. 29.90 Inches of water column is the equivalent of five hundred microns. So I pulled it 30 inch vacuum which is more Above them beyond the epa standard. The units can be confusing. The only reason I use those units is I can't figure out how to change my gauges To microns. Anyway I hope that helps :)

@michaelwiseman5957 ай бұрын
Putting nylog on threads completely pointless Friend. The reason is the threads are infront of the flare seal. So when it leaks it goes around the flare and out the back of the nut. Depending on what kind of flare is needed. You have to use a special flare tool. I believe it's called a orbital flare tool. The flares that it makes are wider. Plus the tool come with a clutch. Which prevents over tighten on the flare tool itself so you don't thin the actual flare out and weaken it and develop a Crack. I know this stuff cause trane classes taught me about all of it. I like your videos. Thanks. Also the reason for the wider flares is some of these refrigerants run at higher pressure so it needs a bigger seal matting surface to hold the pressure.

Thank you for your share. That is an interesting idea. I actually have extremely little experience with flares. The company I work for actually had a no flare policy. Where if at all possible, you were always supposed to braise unless you were replacing an existing flare.
