Said it was not running on the inside, and right now it is, but it's not running here right now. This is a pretty good size walk-in freezer, we've got one evaporator and condenser here and we've got another one right here. We're going to see what's going on currently, it's just not running at all, so let's get into it and take a look, see what's going on. Alright, so I see two bad things in here, I see we've got some wasps that they're going to get their wings burned off with a hand torch, and I can see a crap ton of oil all in here, which is not a good sign. This is not a very old unit, I'm going to have to see where that leaks at, I never have that much in there and if it was a leak and somebody didn't clean up their mess, shame on them. So let's burn the wings off those and kill them. I like wasps spray, but with a torch, usually we'll take their wings out, and that's the end of them. Bye bye little, little wasp. It's not in the middle of a defrost, that's good. Well, where did that leak come from? Do we have any leakage around that little stem there, or is it over here somewhere? Hopefully it's an actual new leak and not some leftover crap that somebody left in there. I have never been here before, so I don't know what it usually looks like. That don't look good from what I'm seeing from here, look at that, not good. You've got to watch out for things rubbing against other things. It looks to me like the line was screwed right in the middle. That's why when you're in your startups you've got to make sure this stuff is not rubbing into things, so there's 21 pounds gone, very preventable. I am probably going to repair that line, sleeve it and repair it because there's nothing much wrong with it. We'll just jack at it, probably a piece of quarter inch and just put a braze around the both corners. So these are technically wire strippers, but they sold them as cat tube cutters, which does a pretty good job, so cut it there and cut it on the other side and we'll braze it together. We've got a piece of quarter inch here, which we've already cleaned up here and here. We'll slide that in there at least about an inch. Same thing on that side. We'll do a little bit of a smash on the side with my linesmins, and then braze her up. I've no sense of replacing a switch, it's only probably a year, two years maybe old, but years just come for us to, can't, looks like, it's hard to read, looks like 20, so maybe it's two years old or something like that, so yeah, the switch ain't bad. The system shut down on low pracer switch, cut out, so it wasn't pulled into a negative. Probably going to skip the run in the dryer, we are swamp-ass busy, going to pull a vacuum on it and move on down the road. We'll call our caps, make sure they're not loose, they have a 10-inch CV left at least with a factory, and we'll go from there. Actually that's a low-pressure switch, so yeah, it cut off when I got down to pressure, I thought that was fan cycle. They have a headmaster back here in the back, so yeah, it shut off. If it was a five-year plus-old switch, I probably would have changed it, not that big of a deal, ain't the prettiest thing in the world, but look at all the other braze joints, there's bunches of them. There's two more, like I said before in the past, I got POE oil inside the zoom-spout oiler, so we'll just put a little bit of oil on either side of that, spin it a little bit, make sure it's on the back side of the flare, and now tighten her up, and actually wire tie that to the wire so they don't wiggle together, it actually takes the vibration out of it. I always like to put that loop closest to one of the anchor points, make sure this up here ain't touching anything, should be pretty good to go. It's one of the nice ones, it actually has an outlet there for us, able to put our things right here on the ladder, pull her down nice and quick. Now this does have the solenoid on the inside, so that's why we're pulling on both sides of the piping, which I'm not climbing at the top of the ladder, this building literally is that tall there, so you need at least a 10-foot ladder to reach it, so we're going to pull our bag down there, we don't have to go for perfect, either you trust or you don't trust these sight glasses, and we're still green even before we're pulling the vacuum. The compressor might need a couple squirts of oil, hard to tell since it's sealed, I wouldn't say we lost a bunch since it was on the suction side, I'm going to see if I can clean some of this crap up so that the next guy doesn't think we have a current leak, it makes it a little easier for them, you can see how fast it's pulling down, like I've said in the past that's the newest blue bag, which either that one or the small one both have pretty much the similar same features far as if you're using the app, but the reason why I got that one wasn't because my other one had gone bad, I've had it for over 10 years, but because I just wanted the wireless, and I know how reliable the blue bag stop is, which I've got that a TrueTech tool, so make sure you use the promo code survival, check out to save yourself 8%, pretty much everything I've gotten here is from TrueTech, the blue poses here, the vacuum pump, the unit is pulling down nice and quick, which is the whole reason why I like these hoses, and we should be good to go here shortly, and with us knowing that it holds 21 pounds, which is always a big reason why I always push for people to put that on there, I should make free charging fairly quick. Now, because we were doing that kind of hazardly, the vacuum pump fell, the hoses caught it before it hit the ground, lost a little bit of oil on the out of the pump because it's kind of wide open, but didn't destroy anything, so they're freaking strong to say the least, still at about a thousand, a little bit longer to go, and we can get started here once I get this stuff out of the way, I'm gonna spray, see the brake cleaner or something in there, coil's looking pretty clean, which is good, and holy crap, how long has that been down? Wow, so we're gonna vacuum that off. Alright, not the greatest thing in the world, but it's gonna work for now, I need my ladder. Alright, we're gonna put this into a deep frost, which will allow it to pump down, I don't like just turning it off, and then flipping it back on, and you have all that refrigerant that's flying back at the compressor, and I'll get the fan off so it'll make it easier to sweep that off, that's pretty bad, works out kind of good, having the cordless. My brush probably would get it pretty good, and it's still caked on the inside there, but what it's gonna allow me to do is get my washer, my portable washer, my quarter blaster, I'll grab a five gallon bucket of water and we'll wash this right out, otherwise I'm gonna waste a lot of water trying to get this off. My goodness, that's ridiculous, the cotton water out here's been flying for a while, and that's just making it super inefficient, super inefficient, which makes me think that other one might have been down for a little while, like I said, still green-side glass, we are super busy today, we have been for the last few days, 95 to 100 degrees in Ohio, don't usually happen a bunch, and it's the beginning of it, and just like everybody else, we don't have enough people. I honestly have enough here for a whole blanket. That is crazy. That is so crazy. I put it way out here, that way it's quite a distance away from the unit so it doesn't get sucked right back up into it. It really didn't plug my filter up on my vacuum cleaner. Well, unfortunately the water is all the way on the other side of the building, so we're just gonna five gallon bucket it over, and use the portable blaster. I was hoping to get in and get out, but that's not gonna happen. Good little deal here, a little portable blaster, man. I'll tell you what, I've talked about this thing a hundred thousand times. I'm just so happy with what all it can do, and how cheap it is, and it's really affordable, and does a real good job. It's been holding up, I know one of the guys that watched me said he had a couple issues with his, he got hold of them, boom, kind of swapped out. You know, nothing's perfect. It's made by me and it's not perfect, so anyhow, we'll purge that out. There we go, now we'll hook up our hose. There we go, plenty of hose to get over here, and get the work done. There we go, a little bit tighter pattern, blasts through the coil a little bit better. The only thing really nice about the aluminum here is pretty much once you get the big chunks off, you can just shoot right through the thing, and right on that goes through. Pretty good about not holding on to it. So let's put this back on here in a second. If we got any water left over, we'll wash the other one too. Yeah, she's just cleaning that right out, no problem at all. Working good. There we go, you can see right through the coil, and we've got about two gallons and a half left. Got the clock back set correctly, she'll kick her on, release, and go. That's a lot better airflow coming through there. Holy crap. Now we need to watch our sight glass, make sure it ain't all flashing off now that, you know, the coil's clean and moving air through. Let's go ahead and get this one done while we're at it. Yeah, just a light, light missile to get this thing clean. Looks like we're stalling out around the 500 mark. That's a big receiver to valve off, and see what she does here. I don't think it's a little bit longer, but like I said, most of that's refrigerant. We'll watch that thing and that's why I like the microns a second gauge top right corner 5.3. It starts slowing down and down and down and down, then you know you're just boiling off moisture and it's not a leak, but that's where we're at. So hit with a little bit of master blaster, PB blaster, see if we can get that grease crap off of everything and rinse it away with our sprayer since we have it conveniently available. The only reason why I'm doing this is so we can tell if it's a new leak or not. Otherwise, yeah, it wouldn't make much of a difference, but I get myself, usually I get pretty upset when you go there and you're trying to find out if it's a new leak or not. It's an old leak and because they left a big old mess everywhere. We got the hacking pump unhooked, got the gauge unhooked, micro engaged, got the straighter cores in there. We've dumped about 13 pounds or so in there. We're going to flip it on here in a second. I think I might even just go ahead and stop now and then we'll feed it in through the suction after that. Yep, they're just releasing the cyclo. We was able to get all that crap loose. You can see how that's flopping like it is right there. We're going to wire tie that to the wires there and that way it won't sit there and wiggle. That's just going to break again. That's kind of a crappy place for that extra weight in the middle there, but I didn't 100% believe I'm 17 pounds so I heated it up a little bit. You can see where that's at. It sounds like 21 is going to be about right. That puts us right now, currently, about right here. So 18, 19, 20, 21, 4 or 5 pounds should put us about in there. That'll give us plenty for winter and the way this thing's solenoid is on the inside like most of them are it should be able to handle it no problem. I just basically put it into a pump down. We'll go ahead and run it a little bit longer and get that in there and wrap this one up. Now by putting that into a pump down, basically defrost, it pumped down and shut off where it should which means that pressure switch is receiving accurate readings down to the suction line where we made the repairs. We know that's open. We're right in there now at the 20 pound area. It's definitely warm out here today. I think about 90 to 95 area. We're looking pretty good. I'll make sure my pressure switch kicks on and off like it should. It seemed like it had to go a little higher than what we traditionally would set it at. Normally around here we go about 23 to 25 degrees usually around the 23 or I'm sorry 23 psi which is usually around negative 9 in area. Let's go ahead and put it in defrost here one more time. Pumps down, about the head pressure is going to rock up. More responsive than the other ones. You can hear the compressor there which is scroll kick out which ain't too uncommon. That might be why they have it set a little higher than what I normally would see. What I didn't care for was the pressure that it came on at. So we're going to put an analog gauge on there. Currently we're static pressure wise about 23 which is where I normally would bring on my 404 freezers. So I'm going to do, I'm going to adjust my cut in. Oh she's barely touched it. There we go. Yeah it's going all the way up there to 35 something before it even comes on. That's way too high. Gotta lower that so I can't hardly read it. Let's see what the heck which one's which. The differential's down here so cut in should be right there and I got it pretty low. That should be coming on. We've got a time delay here. This is what's screwing me over making me think that my switch wasn't making. So what we're going to do is we're going to bypass that until I'm done then we'll put it back. That just keeps it from short cycling. So we've got it tuned in there it seems. Let's go ahead and double check her here on camera for you. Kicking in right now. And we seem to be holding there pretty good. We're not creeping back up because it's solenoids in there at the coil. We're going to release it. It should come on about 23-ish. Should put us in a good area. We'll go ahead and set this up for today's time. 40 minutes with a termination. No termination. Alright well so that one's running. That one there's running so we are good to go. Nice green sight glass. Pressure switch has been tweaked to accept the pressures we normally work at. I got thinking about the way the defrost termination was removed and there's chances are they probably had problems with defrost which is probably why it's at 40 minutes and they got rid of the termination. So there's probably a reason behind that. Same thing with that one over there. The length of time is a little higher. It's a 45 minutes area. Not changing anything. This is my first trip here. There's usually reasons for things and unless somebody notes it in the inside I'm not going to change anything. Other than that we got her pulled down. If it had been exposed for days and days and days then yeah I would have changed the filter dryer under the circumstances. We've got to get going. We just don't have time right now. Right now it's fires everywhere trying to put them all out. Anytime you open a system it's supposed to replace it. We're green there so either that's that glass works or it don't. So it's working. We're gonna let it roll at that. If they have an issue and it starts to turn yellow we can always pump it down chop it out and replace it.
