 Not a whole lot exciting's been going on lately. I went ahead and brought home a project that I went over Found a leak in the evaporator So if you guys like videos like this and you want to see more of it give the video a thumbs up Make sure you leave a comment down below and don't forget to subscribe and click that notification bell So you can see more like it. All right, so we're going to first pull this thing out I'm going to get up here on my cart. Like I said, basically I brought this thing home I'm going to go ahead and do it. Hey, what else would I rather be doing on a Saturday? Than this basically I was off Wednesday Thursday and Friday and I was hoping to do this earlier in the week, but I didn't get to do it I put a tap here on this part right here, which we're going to go ahead and put a solder in Spot on that so we can actually check pressures I want to show you guys something new from DeWalt Basically, it's a six and one driver. I'll leave a link in my toolbox area down below If you guys want to help support the channel You purchased it through amazon along with a lot of other things that I've already picked out I get a small percentage of a profit. You pay the same price The control panel here we've got to take out Snap together plastic I am getting paid for this just not making time and a half like you figure for a saturday But that's my choice to do this basically I'm just doing this for more of something to record We could technically go ahead and cut those Um, this thing was pulling into a vacuum if you notice one of my other videos which Ended up going back on it a couple times because the capillary tube kept getting plugged up because the oil basically got A lot of moisture in it and it just it breaks down the stuff floats everywhere since we're getting rid of this We'll just bend this stuff out of my way Got that out. Like I said, it's all gonna get embraced. So it won't really make much of a difference Should be able to pull this right out the front There we go So that's going to come right out the front this foam is going to need to be reused Here's the electric heater elements They look fairly in decent shape And if I remember correctly, I've already tested those when we had it plugged in but we're going to go ahead and take that coral out Gently put it over here And uh We're going to go ahead and see what we got to unhook to get these out of there Let's pull right up boy. That is not much of a cap tube at all We've got to change this oil in the compressor Okay, so go ahead and bend this With the bending tool That should allow us room To get it in there so the cover does not hit it when it's put back in there Instead should still get us full flow. We could have used a smaller one I just don't like these are kind of dainy. The reason why we're going to braze this in here now Because once I got that in there there'll be one of the few joints that I have to do That's not going to get nitrogen on it when I do my work. So once that's done, we'll be able to pressurize this And then we'll be able to blow nitrogen through the compressor come out through the top Obviously this one here. I'm not going to try to run the nitrogen through it It's on the suction side It's going to be very minimal so it's not going to be a humongous deal as if it was on say the side that had the capillary tubes and stuff So we're just going to go ahead and get our base metal here It's all about there. Just give it a light tap. There we go Boom Look at that. Technically got all the way around it. Let's give it one more little tap There it goes. Just make it a little stronger There we go. Oh wow, that's beautiful If you look at that it's nice and strong got plenty of build bridge here going on Goes all the way around That worked out really well Got a little bit of burnage there. I should probably put a wet towel there But this is inside the unit. It didn't charcoal it All right, so we're purging some nitrogen through here I crimped off my suction line here We got a little bit coming out through the capillary tubes and stuff just basically trying to Basically get some of the oxygen and refrigerant that's left over in there out of there There we go Free us up to move that out the way a little bit more So we got that cleaned up That'll make it slide right in there all nice and pretty Makes it very easy to get it back together and I am going to probably just cut it I Don't know if I really care to heat those capillary tubes up any more than what they already have been Probably when they were installed licking back. I kind of wish that we would have ordered new capillary tubes for it We'll go ahead and seeing that up and get it ready to go Here at all. I'm less than impressed. We've got a 90 on here that you can't get through there with that piece There in the way should be able to come in like this And hook it and then rotate it and it should go through And so gutter in place just got these screws in there Not sure what's up with this oil. These kind of compressors here. Usually they're not my Cup of tea tried to replace the oil. It doesn't pour out So i'm not going to do a bunch of stupidity trying to do more oil or anything like that We'll put it exactly the way it was before and move on All right, use a little bit of our arm reflex installation stuff glued it up in there I was afraid that after a short duration of time that might fall down and get caught into the fan blade All right, so far we got them back into place here I put my cap that was on the line down there originally there right now. We're purging nitrogen through Sometimes I'll run these a little bit wet. That's gonna be right up against that insulation there That'll hold it away from it. So it's not touching it. That'll allow my flame to get all the way around it Learn until later and believe it or not. This is kind of sad, but like I said I didn't read the book Um, you can blow through this exercise It's going to go right through the compressor and come out through the discharge Obviously you pressurize the high side. It's not going out through the suction or you got crack valves But you can do it through the suction side but come out through the compressor and come out through the discharge It opened it up plenty So we've got it crimped in between there I got them an equal distance even though it doesn't look like it Both of my Cap tubes there are blowing through free and clear. So we know that they're wide open. So we've got it in there So we know it's coming through the capular tubes Through the evaporator coming back to the compressor You press your test on it make sure that it holds I'm gonna scan it for leaks Accu-tract Usenek PPE Usenek check out the video. Got a link for that up here on the top I'm gonna give my two cents on the evacuation process here If we went with one hose because I heard some discussion about this kind of made me laugh I suppose it depends on whether you're using a txv Let's go ahead and say that we're afraid the big boogie man is going to sneak in whatever leak through the hose Whatever the case Let me go ahead and use this monster hose here pull through the suction side You're not going to pull through the compressor ain't gonna happen. You do you got valves. Okay. It's not going to suck back through the compressor So you're going to suck it all out through here through the suction side It's going to come through the evaporator and it's going to come over here to the capillary tube Now you're at your capillary tube. You got to go through this massive restriction Then you've got to pull all this condenser area down. I would love to have someone tell me how they think that's a smart idea I would rather pull it through the manifold gauge set than do it with just one hose I've cheated and used my manifold off one side of my uh tree on my Facking pump. I find that to even be better than doing it with one hose to me. It makes absolutely no sense Okay, this is about as shady as I get went ahead hooked up traditional I went ahead and hooked my hose there. I can isolate it By doing that like that And just like that There might be some weird freaking thing going on in there that the oil don't come out if not it's in the system It didn't leak out all over the the unit because there's none None in the bottom here But uh, we are rising a little bit at a 1.8. We've got her pulled down pretty good. We're down to 590 At a leak rate of 1.2 There's a good chance that that ball valve could be leaking a little bit on this hose set here Which wouldn't surprise me. Like I said, blow it all the way up to here Go ahead and release it to there and then Let her fly got our probe out here in front We've got 70 degrees out here And our probe out of the front there's a 57.9 She is sweating We can put her on low See what she does. There we go Let it do its thing there Come on over here It's 70 degrees out here 80 90. We've got 25 degrees over ambient on our head pressure And we're on about a 38 degree evaporator for giggles. We could go ahead and check super heat Just to see what we got try that there. I don't know how good that's going to do 17 degrees on the temperature split That also is going to determine the also and change depending on where you're at in the Coil there's a little bit lower There probably a little higher We're on about a 19.5 degree super heat not bad 20 degrees subcooling. That's if we're getting good contact there So now at a 70 degree we're running 27 degrees So 80 90 27 degrees over ambient here This is not the same compressor that was inside of the Frederick unit. It's been bothering me. Where did the oil go that was in there? And basically this unit here this compressor I brought it home to cut it apart because I really don't run into these a lot. I can't even think of the name of it But I'm gonna cut this freaking thing apart and see if there's a reason why the oil didn't come out Looks to me all that is is a an accumulator. So it's got a splash plate basically here With a screen to catch any crap that gets inside there basically any liquid it come in would Splash around come down to here boil off and then get sucked in kind of interesting I've never cut one of these part. That's a weird You would figure oil. I'm pretty sure I didn't drain this thing out You'd figure oil would be coming out of this thing. I'm pretty sure this one had a shorted compressor I do not believe I dumped any oil out of this thing, but I could be wrong I may have already done did it, but We're starting to leak some oil here. So I would say there's something in there. It just didn't want to come out All right, this is kind of cool. I have never cut one of these apart, believe it or not solve our pumping action must be Right at that bottom. So there's the plug on the other side Your discharge if you notice out of the top That's what's really wild Basically, they're pressurizing the whole Cabinet up on top here because generally a compressor has a Discharge it comes right off of the piston area And connects to the outside world through the top or the side or whatever of the compressor This one doesn't this is a little odd So basically you've got the armature here Causing the or actually stator. I'm gonna call it generator terms got the stator here basically making the uh Rotor turn and it's pumping down here on bottom and uh there's uh The only place it's connected directly to it is the suction side here So that would kind of explain to a point It sounds to me like they're lubricating just the outside only maybe that's why they run hotter and heck all usually This one here. I do not believe had much In regards to oil Noted on this thing at all either it's 410 a Um, doesn't say anything about the oil On this thing at all I mean, there's no Notation of how much oil it even holds So went ahead and tried taking these top screws out or bolts. I should say and this Doesn't really show a whole lot. So I went ahead and chopped the bottom off this thing Which that makes kind of a nice little stand if you wanted to like I don't know put a jack on it or something for a trailer if you didn't have one So anyhow, if you look at the bottom of this, nothing's even really exposed. You've got a check valve Or part of the valve system right here You can see the spring in there I'm gonna go ahead and take these off because I I'm having a hell of a time getting into it so I'll go ahead and take that off, but lubrication wise this thing wouldn't take a whole lot. I mean just enough to Lubricate that bottom. So we're only talking probably five ounces maybe So what I ended up doing was unscrewing that Which that's just a heavy hunk of metal That kind of just holds it there And you've got an orbital Deal going on here. So when it spins there you go and Right there basically it's like a scroll compressor. I always remember them saying something about it being like a scroll compressor in a way But as that gets tighter This is separating this chamber from this chamber And as it comes down it compresses it there. So there's really no valves So to speak with that it's just compressing it or I should say sucking on it So it's going to pull it in to here and then Where in the world does it go from there? I don't know if it's going through the center Suppose it could go through the center. It's got to separate it. You figure this was sealed There's no real seals in there unless they're going with just like the oil I have to do some research on it. I've really Like I said, you only see these compressors usually on Little window units and I believe Some of the mini-split stuff, but That's Kind of interesting Well guys if you like the video and like I said if you want to see more like it, please hit that thumbs up button Don't forget to subscribe and we'll catch you guys on the next one
