 all right guys so we're out here on a walk-in freezer that's not working right and you can hear it running inside the fans aren't on i'll be honest i think just to make it quick and easy i think it's uh low on refrigerant if you look at the uh sight glass down here it looks like it might just have a couple bubbles but i think our real thing is here just plumb empty not a pretty good size leak i would say or to all of a sudden do that i know this place has had tendency to leak and just accumulate you know finally over time finish the run out that seems like quite a bit so we're going to do uh just quick look inside here make sure there's nothing going to get lost right away i'm going to guesstimate that it's probably the evaporator that's generally where it's at most of the time anyway but we're gonna pop this top take a look just to make certain i can tell the coil there is pretty looks like it's dirty but let me pop this top take a look inside there yeah it looks a little bit oily in there i mean that that don't look good right there you know i'm saying i can't help but think that we've had some issues but i can't tell if that was from a previous problem or what i don't want to juice it up and then have to pull the back out you know i'm gonna do a scan here and see what we got because if it's big enough it should go off see if we find a disconnect that's probably optional in this model yeah yep oh that's it down there on the ground that does me a lot of good down there don't we just gauged up on it the suction's right under the 21 but the head's kind of low running right in there at 46 degrees so yeah we're running pretty low head this uh does not have a head pressure control on it i don't know how they've been maintaining okay i mean i got potentially that's a high pressure or that's a fan cycle there but i'm not sure how they've been running this thing without one because the fan's obviously not shutting off oh let's check to see how that's wired because i usually will have a head pressure control or you have a fan cycle one or the other i don't know how in the heck they could be running that without it this one here is the cooler hardly see in there to see if it's got a head pressure control down or not i don't see see one in there i don't know how the hell that's working yeah it's um quite interesting that that's running without it probably this has been in for a long time really uh kind of shady analysis i don't know clock don't look like it even turns that's that's great that's just a high pressure switch that's it nothing and that thing i guess you can kind of turn it ain't the easiest thing in the world to turn i don't know why in the world you don't have one though we're scanning all over and i'm not finding anything in there pressure's not real high i've outed off or opened it up i only got 50 pounds on each side i've out uh opened up the bounds so let's go inside i don't like what i'm seeing though i mean fan running continuously with uh no lowering and being kid on it that's going to cause it to be low naturally so but still it's uh this this is really annoying because people don't clean up their mess if that's maybe a compressor change out or something maybe that's what caused it who knows all right so i didn't know about the bone miser control i've seen them before but i didn't realize they could be ran with low head pressure so let's go in here and see if i've got one on the map or don't we look for the lead instead of getting a ramp up there when i came in so the bone miser there the sensing bulb literally goes in the refrigerant so if you pull that thing out of there you'll blow refrigerant everywhere and most tx v's usually need about a hundred pound drop across them to work and function properly bone misers don't so you're going to charge it just to get a full sight glass and you know maybe a little extra just like normal spacious for outdoor temperatures but i was wondering what was going on and honestly these were not real popular you gotta remember i've only been deep into refrigerant i've only been deep into refrigeration for about the last seven years and you usually only see this on you know some of the bigger systems even though this isn't big but still um i do see a lot of oily looking substance i bet up there let's see if that's got anything on it so anyhow the there's a good chance that it may not be as low as what it seems well let's see if i can get over here between the kegs here and see if i can find a leak but chances are there's a good chance it's uh that's just a little low all right one and one came together i'm like wait a minute this can't be a freezer they wouldn't have beer in here i mean yeah we like to run a cold but not that freaking cold so anyhow this they did say walking cooler on my uh sheet and we've got a little orange there and a little purple 502 404 and a little green there so it's for us we're going we would have used 404 on this it does have poe oil on the compressor out there so we're going to go ahead and finish scanning this thing over see if we can find anything here but a lot of times they'll leak on that uh txv sensing bulb all right let's get this thing cleaned up all right so that looks a lot better than what it did there's a little bit of crud on there but we're not going for a toss my haul here today that uh looks a whole lot better than what it did i did not find any leaks uh so it's got to be outside's what i'm assuming let's go out and see if we can find anything once we get it juiced back up all right so far eight ounces in there you can see the sight glass is changing already that fish is already jumping so i mean it may not be that low go ahead and uh get a little more in there and we'll see where we're at when we're done you can see down there like where the leak probably would be at it would not surprise me if it's outside here that oil came from somewhere over there that compressor valves don't sound all that great you hear it definitely chucking a little bit it's not going in very quick so i mean it's getting a little bit of liquid but we've got the uh emulator there attacking that for the most part i didn't dump it in like a full bore about almost a pound and a half i have a feeling when we go grab the detector again we'll start getting a hit on that i'll kill the fan maybe run the head pressure up see see where it comes in at okay we're checking our super heat you know obviously we've got a little bit of cross on the lines which is usually something some people flip out about but we're running an 18 degree super heat so we're definitely not flooding back and it's obviously got a little liquid when we're doing it it's starting to fade away there but a little hungry i have a bad feeling we definitely got a leak at four almost four and a half now so we're going to get the detector out and scan it we're like 260 the condenser's dirty you know it's middle of winter though i'm not worried about that right at the moment it uh the equipment needs to be uh p.m. badly but they it doesn't happen it's uh probably 40 some degrees out here that's running there's no economizer on it site glass is full let's grab the detector hopefully i can find something it's really really windy out here there's nothing hashed off you can see the trees wiggling stuff like that i mean it's definitely windy out here so far i haven't hit anything yet i mean yeah it's windy the fan's blowing but i should get at least a snip sometimes you'll get it in the pressure switch bellows there it's just it's too flipping windy out here today you're not gonna catch anything i've been down on both sides here not getting anything and with that wind being like it is uh from the fan i mean it could blow it all over i'm gonna go ahead and kill it real quick see if i can get it while it's uh fans not running i even scanned it over with the whisper didn't catch anything at all i mean i don't hear any wind with this thing which is kind of nice uh i've done reviews on that and my other one a couple times so far this one of those instances where it really comes in handy biggest thing with these is get better headphones i prefer the in-ear monitor type headphones those there are not very good to come with it but they put the money and the engineering into the device not the headphones that they bought aftermarket so it's just something to get you started uh at this point guys i don't know what else to do with it i'm just going to run it we'll have to notate that hey it's got issues there's a good chance we've got a leak and uh let's deal with it hopefully it'll be warmer when uh or not warmer hopefully it'll be a little less windy to where we might actually be able to find it so i don't know what else to do let's go downstairs and see how things are going down there okay it's going to back door because i swear this thing went off when i went in last time well it ain't going off and we zeroed outside i'm thinking this thing's probably been skating by somehow with the other cooler being in front of it and it just uh got by i guess i have no idea but anyhow we got a road up so probably got a leak somewhere but i asked to have a leak somewhere not a whole lot i can do about it so anyhow it's gonna wrap this one up guys till next time we'll catch you on the next one all right so we gotta see walking cooler it's warm it's blowing obviously and checking the back here a little bit uh disturbed i'm gonna be surprised if this thing is leaking or not pretty bad shape so is the installation and stuff like that all right so it's clicking let's go up on the roof to see if it's running okay it looks like we found it clock's looking pretty good but just like we figured we can get over here without tripping and falling off the side of the roof we are low on refrigerant and it's cold out so it compounds the issue uh refrigerator 404 is what it says let's go ahead and get our juice back up and see what we uh we'll be fine for leaks after we get done here got it uh gauged up let's see what kind of temperatures we're running there definitely loves all right so we just turned solid and uh we haven't added anything additional yet past solid and you can see what we're running here right around that 180 mark which is where a lot of our headmasters are at about an 81 degree dancing temperature we're right at two pounds nine ounces which isn't a very big system we're all going close to about some of our coldest temperatures we're going to get down to zero maybe it's a little bit of negatives so there's going to be a little more that we're going to need to add for you know the extremist cold days we're going to add a 10 to 15 percent over what you know would normally be the total during uh normal temperatures but uh in this case here once we have about two and a half pounds there and I would say this probably holds maybe four pounds area I'd say maybe up to as much as an extra pound here maybe a little less this is one of them little tricky things we'll just go ahead and watch watch it in and see where we're at all right we threw it into a pump down which really didn't go down very far they're only 14 pounds and it shut off see where we're out on our chart here yeah we ain't got much of a differential from what I can see there I'm going to heat up my receiver there and see where we're at and then see how we're charged from that point kind of cheat a little bit today all right so we made a little adjustment to the differential it's rose up to or it's risen up to nine it's a little bit better than 15 I went ahead and figured out my level on my receiver which was about three quarters of the way we're gonna go ahead and start looking see if we can find a leak it's uh not easy to find we can always come back later it's the end of the day and we're just gonna get them going just flip the switch we got her into it so let's go ahead and grab them the link detector let's take a look all right so we got the lights off in here oh she's starting to go berserker now she ain't happy yeah she's not happy so cold I think it's just I don't know so anyhow we get up here and you can see that the pan's rotten out but if you get in here to that flare nut get down here on this flare nut here you can see she don't like it that should be an easy one to fix just tighten that flare nut up as you can tell this freaking coil is about shot to hell and back I think that's what I was picking up when I was back here I think it's picking up the floaties coming from the that area there I guess what it was picking it up yeah my phone's not doing so good yeah I'm gonna say can't see nothing there we go so we're gonna tighten that thing up see if we blow this nasty drain out because that thing's got bad days going on too it must drain into a bucket or something I ain't sure what the story is on that but we'll see if we can get that thing cleaned out
