Sounds something like solder. I don't think I will be using it!

There website says a one year warranty. So far they seem to have great customer service but if the equipment keeps breaking down, it really ain't worth it no matter how fast it can recover. ...

I have been using this recovery unit for some time now and have loved them. It can pull out freon real quick and I don't have to throttle the inlet to prevent hammer. Until today. I have had no...

Sorry, I didn't realize where it was. I believe I might have googled something about recovery units, found this thread and replied without realizing any dates or location.

Definitely make sure the pipe is deburred and smooth before sliding on the propress fitting. Sometimes, I will get busy cutting and measuring and then start to fit it together to check how it's...

Agree to the season to season charge. We have some 20 ton McQuay condensers cooling server rooms that worked fine in the summer, another tech actually had worked on it in the summer and charged it...

Anyone got their opinion about using different recovery units with different freons? I always blow my gauges out with nitrogen before going from a 22 to 410a system. Someone told me even that is a...

Just curious as to why you say never recover using your manifold gauges. Not trying to argue, just want to know other technicians ways....I learn things that way. I never had any problem using my...

It'll work, just use a high silver brazing solder. And yes, Daikin's suck bigtime! They are like a gazillion mini splits in my opinion.

I can almost bet there are no chillers over there, seriously! :yes: And luxury over there is totally different than luxury here in the US. Don't expect too much.

Mini splits galore and packaged units. They actually started building some nice buildings with packaged units before I left Kandahar in 2010. When I first got there it was during the surge and it...

Hey there, did you just start college there? It's a great program; I went there as well. They call it IT now? I think the college has been through 4 different names now! LOL Tell Roger James said...

I've been using a Fieldpiece Sc66 for 8 years and it has been great. I don't think yours has a max button does it? You could use that and it would show the max amps before the C-switch opens. I...

It's all going more and more advanced. Nowadays you need a laptop in the toolbag. Jeez

Yeah he's right about the RTAA design temp. I don't believe this heat is too much for the RTAA chillers. I am in Texas and we have had 105+ for many days. I can't even keep up with the days in a...

AMEN!

You got me curious. I usually just isolate the compressor and recover residual then take it out. But I am pretty sure I have always had oil come out steadily. If there ain't some oil that comes...

Alright, you can call me an idiot. For some reason I interpreted your post wrong and I sent in a new application. As if you guys have so many that by sending in two i would at least get to the...

:weird:

I'm sure you all seen this before....just pisses me off. I was cleaning the condesner that day, from the outside. Most of the time I turn the bad boy off, take the end panel off, and crawl in...

Good luck!

I have a couple of questions and I believe this is the right thread to post on. I applied for pro yesterday afternoon and was wanting to know about how long to expect to hear something. Reading...

Yea, just expect to get sprayed with oil if you are gonna pull out the compressor suction sensor with 20 psi left in there! I just ain't that quick! Lol

Yea, probably not a good idea to put them in water. With the chiller off, temps should stay steady enough to ohm out sensors. Just leaving the sensors in the system will be good.

I wouldn't recommend pumping this chiller down. If the LP switch doesn't work then you will run this compressor in a vacuum very quickly. Not good. I know of a tech that locked a 60 ton compressor...

Also, you might already know but you can go into the panel and test the EXV for that circuit. You will have to count how many seconds between the clicking noise you hear. Should be close to 16...

If you read my first post you would see that I did search the model. Didn't find anything. You can sit here and criticize me but thanks again to the people that helped.

Thanks so much bill. This is what I wanted. Golden. I don't know how you found this. I can usually find trane iom's for chillers easy but this was like pulling teeth!

Thanks okiebill and others for the help. But like I said earlier, my parents don't have a clue what they are looking at so the couldn't tell me what metering device they had or anything else for...

I agree with skippedover, for the most part. It could be an easy fix, maybe the txv ain't bad like you said. But what if it is, you pay for a second opinion, then just wasted your money. You just...

LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You're funny!

Ok.....hold that thought, I'm going to send in for pro. I COMPLETELY understand the tight lips. Just protecting our trade. Reading the residential forums seems like 75% of them are DIY.

If the site accepts expired Oklahoma journeyman's license, then yea, I will apply for PRO. But otherwise I ain't gonna be a PRO on this site until I get it renewed. But, what would I need an email...

Oh, by the way....I usually don't post on the residential page, been on chiller forums because I do a lot of work on them. I have been doing HVAC since 2003. Worked at company doing...

I can't find jack on the Carrier website. My parents have a Carrier 38TKB036300 split AC. They were having problems with it and based on what info they gave me I told them advice. They had a tech...

YES! Of course!:grin2:

I gotta map......take I-35 north and cross the Red River! Texas sucks! :grin2:

It was as bad board.

Yes, but let's not get off subject here. I was talking about the oil for the RTAAs, since that was what HJ Controls was talking about. Just so happened I found information about TRANE OILS in some...

Lets not forget industrial! LOL I have been working on chillers all summer in this bone dry Texas heat without shade! I go through at least a gallon of water a day, gets rough. Especially doing...

Well, what a coincidence. I am going to change out a compressor tomorrow on a Trane CGAF chiller and was reading some papers that came with it. It talked about the different types of oil and it...

I recently installed a 60 ton compressor. Yea, same thing with me, said to use oil31 but chiller data plate and book said 15. I ordered and used 31. I asked Trane Tech and he said it doesn't...

I used to wire up and run condensate drains for furnaces. I would be up there for about thirty minutes and be soaked to the bone, literally, everything soaked. The temps I believe said earlier up...

That's what I always done. Bled the air from the tank. You can even check the tank for non-cond. Using the TP chart, and known refrigerant in tank, the pressure in tank, converted to temp, should...

Got a question for all you people. I am renewing my licenses that I let expire and was curious about the NATE one. You see I joined the Air Force a couple of years after graduating from college in...

Been a little while since I worked on this unit. I been gone to a funeral last week. Luckily, the people in the building have relocated. PArts come in slow around here. Another tech got the old...

Not real sure about your unit you got there. But I would think something like one is for unit shutdown refrigerant level and the other while unit has been running. To determine proper charge. Call...

Sure sounds like it.

Could be LP, he didn't specify if the condenser fan shut off or not with the compressor. Need more information, is the compressor actually pumping or just humming? Not enough info.

Google the unit. My best bet on finding out what you need. As you have the M# and S#. Otherwise you can easily make a frame for it with some self-tapping screws, drill, and some brackets. That...
