 This video is brought to you in part by TrueTech Tools quality tools essential support All right, so we're back here to change out the reclaimed valve there got Some seals here not a lot to it from what I see never done this so See how it goes here. I'm a little bit curious. I need to look at it Whoo-hoo two stupid little seals no big deal, right? Got a valve breakdown here for it. We are leaking right in the Middle here very where the two halves go together You've got the lower body here all that plunger stuff is up there. So all that stuff goes into here So we've got residual refrigerant in here. I had to replace this Schrader core kind of curious to see if there's any pressure on it Yeah, I've got 50 pounds on there Let's see what the other side looks like Nope, it's got about 52 50 also So let's go ahead and bleed that Okay, I mean there's definitely that's a lot of vapor at least it's vapor that's gonna be going down Way out there that air handler. So I'm gonna see what my suction is I see the problem we got here suction is running 47. So it's it's not gonna do much We'd have to use the recovery machine. Let's go and look and see how the Receiver level is make sure that it's still up. Yeah, we're gonna cheat Nice Wendy Wendy Wendy Good test for the microphone So this is C and I'm pretty sure That was the one it was it's been like a couple weeks. Holy crap. That thing is overfilled like massively How in the heck? How they all are Look at this bad boy. It's below zero, which is great We got here on this one 30 That's disturbing that is way way way full If it was hot, it'd be bad, but we're also probably are we shedding? Yeah, we're shedding Yeah, we're shedding this is you have to coil shut down Jeesh it's colder crap out here split condenser. Yeah, my levels are super high Well, this obviously is dropped down cuz I'm gonna have to discharge. Yeah, we're isolated there Gosh, there's oil there, too. I need to go grab my leak detector So we went ahead and scan this over and I did not pick up anything on any of those So to see if it was still sensitive enough. Let's see if this leaks and sure enough Wham went nuts even with 50 pounds of pressure on it. So I mean you could only imagine what that is when it's running 190 to 275 or more. It's one side here. That's where it's really bad Got a recovery machine and stuff. We're gonna see if we can get that thing pulled out of there I'm not sure how this is gonna work, but we had about four pulled here. We're monitoring over here So pulling it in three eighths hose up out again as far as I could and Then going to quarter unfortunately for that last bit, but at least this is the high side Discharge side We'll see if it makes a dent in it You know my biggest worry was that there might be a little something leaking through somewhere and I didn't want to just miss it and Next thing I know it just keeps going and going and going at least this way here I'll be able to tell if it's dropping which I can tell already. It's already dropped five pounds of pressure The check valve is going in this direction. So it's gonna pull right through the check valve and That should get everything out of there. We'll leave it into a slight positive Just enough to get it apart back together again. That way we don't pull a vacuum potentially on it on something like this You can pull forever and goons age and it just wouldn't happen. I mean you get it eventually, but it's yeah Let's be realistic here The three eighths makes a huge difference the biggest difference is the valve portal We're dumping into a suction side of this thing running 48 Which I find to be kind of interesting. It's about the where it was at far as Setting there been a couple weeks. I think two weeks since I've been here Has been two weeks, but I was on call and I'm gonna call again. Unfortunately, so live and learn The tube there on top of the control comes across and goes to this valve right Here and I forgot to close it. So that's probably why we had 50 pounds of pressure After two weeks on it. So I take the cover off and we will Close that like that and that will help out immensely That little line pilot tube looking thing what you guys get discharged here. That's gonna be your suction that allows it to Move it back and forth needs somewhere to dissipate the pressure. So if we follow it back Come to that little line there and that goes over to the suction side. That's where the suction pressure came from so Yeah Already at 20, I mean it was down about 25, but it just dropped five pounds that fast So luckily this is why I wanted to isolate it and pump out Almost everything that way. I knew if I was missing anything and I missed it. It was hidden up there Way up behind there got it pulled down to zero When I first undone it I Always do it kind of like this and it kind of wanted to suck on my finger So I went ahead open that back up a little bit let some pressure back into it now We're in a positive, but even now It's it's already gone. So we're gonna have to pull a vacuum on this no matter what This is isolated. So I didn't suck any air into the system up there, which is good We're ready to go ahead and try to take her apart. See what happens here. See if I can get our Ladder here that it's already up here. So we'll just use it Right on the safest thing in the world, but you know, it's all good May need to go grab my regular ones, but Mmm. Yeah. Yeah, we nobody nobody over tightened the head at all. Nope There we go I'll give us a chance to take a look on the inside here. So I'm gonna go ahead and take these screws out I don't think you guys really want to watch that. We've got the big one out top Threads look like they're fine. I don't see no stretching Or bowing or anything like that. These other ones are coming out my hand. Got the last one here I'm not a ball-and-sockets kind of guy. Usually they will strip things out. They don't have the Torque they can get out of the square headed ones. So I don't usually use them. I've had them but There it is. I don't know how far that's gonna go and may have to cut it. I don't know pilot tubing and power wire Can't tell if that's really On or off right now. We could probably go ahead and unhook this top here till we got to replace the seal on that I don't know if this will Yeah, I won't reach. So just like someone else. I've got a nice rigid one out there That'll fit it without clawing the heck out of it But I probably ain't gonna go out there and get it to be honest with you I could be a hack. There we go Yep, I'm a hack now. I get accused of it all the time me using one of those for this and Hell why not freaking use it, right? Okay, there's a spring and there's that seal that we wanted to change So right there it is So let's go ahead and pull this off the side Well, that's a long old flippin spring so there's that crush Piece there's some oil that will retransfer over to the next one May see if I can pull the guts out because if I can pull the guts out Then I will be able to get the rest of it out. I'm gonna put this spring up here on my Table That's a big old piston is basically what it is and there's oil in there to drip all over the floor Hopefully Not too brittle. I'm gonna see if I can get a hold of that with some needle noses Pull this direction just about half to you. There's the other pilot tube. I should have been I should have unhooked that All right, there we go. It pulled this direction Plenty of oil in there It's still Nope good deal It when I pulled over We were able to There I go And we are getting on to a nut there Looks like a stainless steel nut or aluminum try a stainless steel. I think we're as far over as we can go It looks like you can pull this out That thing I was grabbing a hold of Was this piece up here. So there's that spring And that holds this stuff together. There's that low ring There's enough oil in the body of this thing that we'll be able to put it right together And this actually be a quick little shindig here dip the old finger in there And let's go ahead and get the oil on these That will help them Squish down evenly. Good deal. Ellen's ready to roll This one here Once again This oil once it's you know, this has all been PoE the whole time. I believe I think everything in here in this store got gutted our good majority of it when they Switched it over So I should not have been no mineral oil in it There's that piece. I was telling you about Okay, there's the end of it. That goes up into there like that There's that o-ring that we needed to replace That piece that I said was kind of squarish looks to me like it holds right there There is okay, right there's why it was leaking. I don't know if you can see it No, maybe not. Yeah, I can tell you right now. It's it's it's tight. It does not want to stretch at all It's also flat in this case here we're just Making sure That our surface doesn't have any gunk on it So we're just gonna get that thing just make sure it's all clean. I don't want any paint anything like that in there And it looks like that's pretty good Come and get this other side. You can see a little speck of something from paint It's completely get all that gunk because man you do not want anything Slopping back and forth and causing it not to shift Yeah, you can see in there that that pipe just literally goes From here Right to there obviously When this thing shifts It has a plunger a little white seal there on the end of it. It's gonna stop it there and It's gonna allow it to then go straight through because this is a you know, it's got a slide thing here It's got it's just a bolt in the middle So it's going to allow the refrigerant to go poop on all now There's a there is a cut in there That's the surface that it actually is going to fit down into So this would be great if I could pull this out To do that I have to lift And pull that out So there is what it looks like Just gonna go ahead and check it over real good. Like I said first time doing it. So if you've done a million of them You know what you think this is dumb and that's fine You're not who I'm doing this for I Am doing it for those out there interested in just seeing what and how it works that there's the piece It just goes back and forth. I don't see anything in there that should cause any major issues that overing Literally goes in there like that right There and see if it's at ledge and just ever so slightly is sticks out You see how that refrigerant is gonna go right on through it. So this is gonna go forward stop it there Refrigerator's gonna come through and on how to go. It's pretty pretty cool It's so simplistic. You just like not sure how it works until you look at it From outside in so there we go Bring it back together Oh Be so much easier if I had an extra hand like that now you won't have to fight it Look at that I got the vacuum pump down there And I've got my wrench that now Will fit right where it needs to fit is better still ain't perfect because The body of this nut of the sockets a little bit big, but once we get threads in there We'll be all right That's where you really need a quarter-inch this is three-eighths But good grief that's so much easier There's a bald socket on the end of it even better yet, and I think I'm still gonna run into that issue No matter what anyway Let's go ahead and get these other ones started Say pretty much stuff what you got Just a lot of firsts this week First train chiller that I've got to work on that was damaged or you know, had issues and So I got that one done Had this That was a first this other one. Let's go ahead and get it wiped off Where's our lint tree rag here? I Should have loosened up that pilot tubing on the other side for sure I didn't see it because I'm kind of blocked from this side You can see here too That there is Ports so you can see where it's letting it go in and out pressure comes into this chamber here and the other one releases it You've got hot gas coming into the one side And when that solenoid pulls up It's gonna let that hot gas release It's gonna go into the suction side which just leads back to the suction and Then it's gonna allow it to shift it fits right there And it's kind of where Ramajama is on that's the old one There's a new one the new one is slightly different great But this one smashed down so let's look at the inside diameters Inside diameters do not feel the same either. I think they made a mistake Which is really great. I mean we may have to come back. I guess we'll try it and we'll see what happens What else are you gonna do? Not a whole lot Okay and Watch to see where we're at and right now that would not work very well without that So we better get that back in there. Alright, so here's the wrench you want to be using For it. This works out great. Luckily, you don't have to tear the body apart, which is awesome There you go. Hey, there's the Part we need there and then it spring again. It slid right over like it needed to And let's measure this thing Outside diameter 1.87 1.53 All right, so I called our local supply house and that's reason why we just order everything online because they didn't have it yet they are a refrigeration company and No, we do don't know we do not we do not have it So my guy right whatever. All right, so it's back on there and you can see the Oil looks like hell Because we're pulling majority of refrigerant out. I would say probably 99% mainly refrigerant I should have grabbed my blue hose out there when I did it, but I didn't we're gonna go ahead and get some numbers off some of these other Vowels it was decided it would be a good idea to have some of those on hand The number off the top and you can see right there. That's probably where that oil. Look at that. There's the oil So that's where it's been leaking at That one's been leaking from the top Yeah, 12d 17b You can tell they've been Hanked on the whore and turned quite a bit that might actually be better now That one's feels fairly tight. I'm not gonna get wild with it and that check valve is kind of slamming shut when I Had to open it up. So it didn't Did pull anything back on that so it kind of explains how it works So we've got it coming through and we'd normally be going to there if it's forward it it Would stop it, but What's kind of crazy is this is obviously closed So it's pulled back and it's stopping there if you go forward It lets it go on through see what these over here say Anyhow, let's see how our levels are on this thing again Still really high the point where it scares me. Yeah, it's saying theoretically. We're over a hundred percent So we're lucky it don't bow that out. That would be really really bad. So we get the heat reclaim on Hopefully that'll that'll help out a lot means to be gas not liquid But still it's definitely not gonna hurt unless somebody else added something because it was nowhere near that when I left here All right We're in a negative Bell that off Because it needs that to be able to control it. There we go. Where's that and you need to open these ones first Because They are We're gonna slow We can see if we got let's go ahead and do this other one here a little bit. I'm assuming that was probably the Yeah, that's the right way not right away from pliers, but Start to come up a little bit open that up. I want to go to not so and screw things up did not want to shock anything or Anything like that That's open and now we're gonna go ahead and close this one Make sure we go in the right direction We go and close that there we go And it can go all the way around here careful because somebody snapped off the little ball That's nice. Look at that. We're running 190 something forgot to put the stinking valve core in there kind of sucks So doggie we're going out to the heat reclaim unit right here to the heat reclaim you can feel that plane today So one thing I found that I do not like is this right here Yeah Yeah, that's a little bit of a bubble there. Oh ain't much I can do about that That's why they put that on there You know I'm there with our handy-dandy other wrench here I've got this one in my tool bag area now. This is a nylon so we don't need to get stupid with it There you go Now we'll let that air out a little bit And nothing there and we'll go to super sensitive. We got nothing I've already went through and checked all my fittings on my Pilot tubes and they're all good We're still in split there. I thought it was under sensors Because heat heat reclaim hot water heat reclaim control. Let's enter that Yeah, see that's the sensor they had right there's 59 degrees and the one coming in It's cold down here. So it's that's that's ice cold now I don't know if the only do one at a time as you can see we come out of The unit can't go through that bypass. So ask him over here. This is hot It comes out of the bottom This is the thing so it's going through the valve hottest going down coming back as It comes back. There's really no heat left over But that's why there's not much getting over there because it's getting stolen by the by the heat reclaim If I turn the heat reclaim off it should crank it over into That so let's go into heat reclaim Go down to here control value enter Let's in log in Okay, let's go to valve. Let's go enter override Let's go Next yes, go down Let's go off enter override Yes Off That did it So the command is Obviously what really does it? Okay, let's go back over to here. So enter Override no Enter enter enter there. It's on. Oh, I can over it again. No tack. It automatically got rid of it So now let's go up one. Let's go to heat reclaim Right there it is. We should be able to see the value start to climb Cut in cut outs 125 degrees graphic. It's already peaking. Let's go into log Be a little more precision. It's went from 57 to 58. So is it doing anything yet? Okay, we are hot going into that one and We are mediocre coming out And then far as this one We are coming out of the bottom now and we are not going through it no more. I can feel it different over here Yeah So it's going Straight out of the bottom of it going into here If it shuts off too, it's going to send it out of the bottom back to the condenser By passing both of them Okay, so let's go down here to the heat reclaim Go into there scroll over enter override You do override to go on or off override. No enter enter enter turns back on So we just ran both of them and see when that goes through if it would go through there's checkbox here So if it did try to come down, it's gonna stop here once again forcing it into this valve It's either gonna go that way or it's gonna go that way It's shifting which is good And had a little bit of a hit on super there, which if that's all the more it isn't super. I'm not too horribly worried about it We're not getting anything on the valve body itself, which is where our biggest leak was at before Which is awesome Yeah, we're getting a little something there on that. So let's go to PPM Looks like I might get one measly part per million To I'm okay with that Doesn't pick it up on high at all. So we're good there on that. Let's put it back into override off Enter and override no enter enter comes back on Let's go back out of here. Let's go to condenser condensers running 182 so we're kind of Not running real stupid high there. Let's go outside and see how our receiver level is We're still in split. Obviously nothing changed there now. Look at our receiver level now. We are running 40% 35 to 40% that big old monster line even though it's hot gas it likely is going to Condense in that coil. I mean it's an air coil and it's running Room temperature air across it, which is you know, not as cold as out here, but it's turning into a condenser So you're gonna get liquid And when you condense like that, it's going to take up space Good deal. It's good to know that that's something to learn and think about for later Definitely a good thing to think about for later All right. Well, we're gonna lock this door back up I'm pretty happy And being given a wrong gasket Which I don't think was Our fault. All right guys, that's the return trip. So that's what we ended up doing Enjoyed watching the video make sure you hit like thumbs up check out these other videos that are popping up and check out This two other guys that I recommend they got good videos too till next time. We'll catch you guys on the next one Thanks for watching
