Kind of going in here and seeing what we've got going on. Coil is completely warm. Train line looks a little bug-full of crud. So it's going on down below. And of course, this is our 290, so sure it's nothing to do with refrigerant. Of course, we've got everything all gummed up in here. Train line is looking me up there. All right, coil is clean. Crap. I would say it's probably leaking. We're not hot at all here. This charge to come out of the compressor is warm. But we're losing all the heat just in that water right there. We're gonna go ahead and turn it off. Try to take a look here. I'm gonna go grab my detector. Might just spray it. But that didn't just happen. So it comes in on that back one. Come out here, goes into there, comes out on this middle one, comes to here. Comes to there, leaks up to there. Comes to there and up to here. So I mean, we could jump some of this, but my gosh. Kind of important. May be what we have to do. Because as that smashed, I don't I don't know any good way to prepare that. I mean, chop it all off and extend it or something. That's just ridiculous. They need to buy a new coil. Turn it back on. They're good muzzles. See if it can create some compression. Make a bubble of some sort. Got no hits. I mean, even if that ain't where the leaks at, it surely is not letting nowhere in the refrigerator with a squat thrower. I know I've had this thing go off before on big blue, but I rinsed it off with some water. I'm on at the edge here a little bit. It's not picking up anything down there, but I'm getting a hit there. I don't think it's soaked because I come down here to this part there. It's not going off on any of that. But you get right there to that. It creases that. It gets it. Turn it back off again. All right, so first we can do this. Put a cap on it. Drain it out slowly with your dishwasher. Run it non-stop. Apparently got anything left on it. So I'm going to just make a small cut in it a little bit. Cut it a little bit bigger and wait a little bit. So don't do it the way I'm doing it. Do it the way they recommend. Otherwise, you've got to worry about the fryers that are running over there. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to go ahead and get this thing cut. We're going to bleed this thing out. And then we're going to have to try to unbraise some of these pieces down here on the end. When it hadn't finished cutting it, nothing hard came out at all. There's a little bit of a shh. That's it. So like I said, you don't want to cut it like I did on a normal system. Once again, I'm not petrified of it like we were at first. Just kind of respect it, but you don't have to be scared to death of it. I'm going to go ahead and chuck it up into this. Spin swedges, baby. Simple. And then it don't spin on you. So it works out pretty good. We're going to put one on both sides. That way we can blow through it while we're brazing it. It's not under warranty, so I probably won't remove it. Yes, it's supposed to be removed. We're just breaking all kinds of rules today. It's not under warranty. Fact is we got to come back and replace that condenser. It's going to run high head pressure, so it's stupid to take them off. And honestly, it's a given that the evaporator's going to leak here for long anyway. We ain't got to remove them, not right away, if at all. Real life. Place to run our nitrogen through and then we have to undo some of that stuff. It should be a lot of fun before the place feels drier and all that crap when we come back. All right, so we're going to put some nitrogen through here on the high side, push it through the capillary tube, through the coil that's all screwed up. Should go get some bubbles now that we get some pressure on it. Even if I don't, this is not right. Oh god, yeah, look at that. Yeah, there's your leak. Plain as day. So we're going to follow that one there. I'm not so worried about that one there. It's not horrible. Comes in, goes back through the middle. It'll comes to here and goes to that one. That's one of the ones that's really bad. So we're going to have to pull this one apart here. All right, so we went ahead, a little tricky. I don't have my tripod with me, so I can't really record it. But what I end up doing, getting on there with my needle nose pliers and just wait till it's definitely warm. You probably could cut it and then pull one out of the time would be easiest. But I did both of them at the same time. So what we're going to do, since we know that it goes through that one, comes back there. We don't need these two here. We're going to go ahead and smash these down. That way I don't accidentally hook them up. We've got a few more of those out of there. Studying what we've got going on over here. Because it's kind of back and forth, back and forth. Got our 180 bender. We've already got us one right here. So we're going to cut that and get her jumped from here to there and there to there. All right, so we have something kind of dual here. That should match up. So we'll get that pushed into place and get it soldered in. And then we've got one more here. This is really generic, but just keep in mind we're only doing this to get us by. I don't know how easy it's going to be to get the condenser coil. Kind of need to be split in there very gently. Getting that tight bend, two fingers, three fingers wide. Not really easy because it's either wider or you can't hit the bracket to hold it in place. So it's kind of something else, but it should work. I haven't done it on nothing this small before. We've got her braised in. Don't want to get too crazy on it because otherwise you might end up breathing her shut. So we're going to go ahead and press your eyes and see if it goes through the system. Coming through, so it means it's going from one side to the other. Go ahead and put a cap on it and let's do a pressure test to see if we're leaking on the braised joints. Let me add a little bit of braise here on the ends that had a little dent on this here and this one here. It does not appear to be leaking anything on there. Now this thing ran for who knows how long with no refrigerant in it. So it may have already baked the oil and the crap's going to get plugged into the capillary tube. So this thing might be junk. No way to know. But we're going to pull back on it and see what we get. And if it runs great, we'll get a new coil. If not, we'll have to dump the oil replace capillary tube and the condenser. What a great deal. That's if the compressor holds up. So let's see what we got here. All right. This gives me a chance to show off the JB gauges I've got here. They're analog. You can see they're the small, I don't know if you want to call it eighth inch hoses. They're very short and small. They are for R632 and R290, which already has it on the gauge. I like analog sometimes. So to do this, we're kind of like not going to be doing it real quickly because we're using it through the Schrader cores. We do have the micron gauge on there, which I just put my T that I use for my stubby gauges. It's not idea. I mean, obviously the fastest would be with the bigger hoses. But if you want something easy, sleazy and get it done and not lose any refrigerant, this is the gauge set that you want. And for doing a check or something like that, you're not going to lose very much here. I do got a isolation valve here so I can dump my high side back into the system. And now it does not come with that. I had to add that one there. But the screw on fittings is, they screw on really nice. They have this swivel thing here. They're all made in America. It's just better. So I mean, it's definitely a direct competitor with yellow jacket. Yellow jacket is good stuff too. The JB is just good from what I'm seeing. I've got one of their stubby gauges here too that I've been using lately. And TrueTech Tools sells both of them. So I've been using that lately. It's pretty much the similar gauge. That goes to five. This goes to 350. I use this for my low pressure switches because I lost my other older one. But thought I'd show you guys that. I'll have a link down in the description down below. But we're going to do this the way that most guys tend to do. And get this thing pulled down. So we're putting our high side here. We're going to start pulling through on our low, which we already know that it's been going from one side to the other. Starting to go so we know we're open, which we already knew that anyway from Virgin of Nitrogen. It's going to take a lot longer because we're using these tiny hoses. But it's really for demonstration purposes. And an alternative thing out there. If you guys don't want to use the big hoses, if you don't want to use regular manifolds, if you want to dedicate a set. I mean it's something to consider, something to look into. But that's what we got going on. And you'll kind of see how long it takes. All right, I am checking my clock, but it's got to be maybe five minutes. And we're at 7,000 microns. This is taking forever. I think I'm just going to go ahead and put that on there. And it's getting it, but it's just not very fast. That's for sure. All right, I couldn't help it, but we have to switch them back. It's going to be great for charging. That's probably all they're going to be good for. They're probably actually labeled for that, but I figured I'd give it a shot just to see. It's not worth it. Yeah, I mean we're pulling majority since we're right at the fitting there. Once we dial it off, we'll know our true microns. But this is less than 20, 30 seconds. So you can figure by how fast it's going to speed it up. All right, so I've found this off once. We're going to close our valves a little bit, get the air off from underneath of it. And then watch what happens. I mean, it's going to shoot up. That's why you can't put your gauge at your vacuum pump. So what we're going to do is we're going to watch it and we're going to see where it's at and how it starts to slow down. It starts to slow down. That's a good sign. That means we've just got either refrigerant or moisture in there. If it keeps going, that means we have a leak. So while I'm waiting for that to pull down, I did have a gas valve ordered for this thing. These stupid switches are not the most reliable thing. The one here, you just barely tap it. It cut in and cut out. So we're going to go ahead and get that changed out. Union of forces all the way back here. So I think that changed. Just trying to keep busy while I'm waiting. Nothing exciting here. Just drop the pipe, get some pro dope on there, thread her back on, use the backup pipe wrench. All right. It's been pulling for quite a while. Valve it off. It's still going up. It's slowing down, but this is the problem with some of these units. They get ran for a day and a half with no refrigerant and they just get chewed up. So the dryer needs to be changed yet. That's going to help some. You can tell it's already slowing down. Down to eight microns a second from 14. So it's a mixture of some moisture and some refrigerant in there. We'll go and get that changed and get her going. Everything ready to go here. Everything chewed up and ready to go. So we're going to go ahead and get her weighed in. Have to use my phone to weigh it in, so I don't know how many regular gauges. And we'll get her weighed into the factory charge, which is whopping 4.3 ounces. Woohoo. So I've done other videos. If you guys are curious how I unhooked it and stuff like that, just basically valid it off. Once I had pressure in it, then I put the refrigerator core into it. Then I removed the valve core tools. So that's how I do it. And I wait till the pressure is positive on my gauge. Blue vacs aren't easily destroyed by pressure or anything like that, like some of the other gauges that are out there. That's why I've been using them forever. Let's turn on and see if this thing runs, hopefully. There it goes. We can see firsthand what's it doing. I think it's going to run the fan one direction. It's going to run the fan the other direction, if my gauges are in the way. Higher head pressure, a little less refrigerant too. So it's starting to come up. I didn't quite get the four ounces in there. It's just thing was pretty much about empty. I sucked in as much as I could. I got it down to like five pounds area right here. So we're only running about 82 degrees in here. So it's at least 70 to 73 in here. So it should be at least 10 to 15 over. So I'm going to add a little bit more to it and see where we're at. We're running right now at 23 degree evaporator below. So we're not off by much. You also got to remember too, when we dump the high side in, which now we don't have much liquid at all in here. So it's not going to be such a big deal, but it normally would be. But when we dump that in there, it will come up some. You can see it here. But I'm going to add it off for about seven pounds. Dump this here in. That brings us up to almost 10 pounds. So about three pounds difference there, which then puts us at almost a negative. 25 evaporator. It's just as a freezer. So it's probably just about half an ounce low right yet. We should be good to go. Luckily, we're not having any real heat issues. It's not that hot. Discharge line's hot. It goes down into that little curly curl down here. Comes out. It's not very hot. I mean, it's definitely warm, but not very hot. And it's going through the condenser here. It's going pretty good there. So I'm going to grab me a little bit more. I have to go with the other brand, but it's all the same. Also, it's rated for 290. So that's kind of the contraption I came up with to hold it inverted for liquid. Running right in there at about 89 degrees. We're at 12 degrees. This usually goes for negative 10 to 0. Surprisingly, it's not running a super high bed pressure, honestly. I put in just about the exact amount. We have four straight quarter inch tubes that are missing out of 27. So if you use the count across, there's total of 27 tubes. So four of them are missing. It's not probably as bad as it seems, but I did put just a little under the 4.3. I put it right at about four. We are at zero degrees. So I'm going to dump this back in there what we got left and wrap this thing up.
