Hi Joey,

I will check the metering device as I am suspecting a problem there. this is a picture of the sight glass after the filter drier, can't see anything through it as it is really old....

Hi Joey,

Thanks for the advices. I will do something about the bricks and the system case in general after finishing the compressor replacement issue :)
liquid line was insulated because it is...

Just quick update today

I checked the AC one more time to see if the compressor is heating after letting it work for 2 days. Everything was fine and compressor was cold to touch. Suction pressure...

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the absence as the owner of house was on vacation and I was able to get the data few days ago. I took the points suggested to me and took different measurements hope it...

Hi Frost,

Thanks for the detailed reply. About the compressor it is true that it's undersized and the shop suggested that this would work well. Compressor is around ~20% weaker than previous one...

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with a big york AC which is not cooling after replacing an old seized compressor :whistle:. First of all i'm not an AC professional but I have moderate background...

I read much good feedback about FP SRL8 and if you just want to choose between these two leak detectors then go with srl8. I got tifzx and it is not that tough so you should handle it carefully...

I found that JB sells prowler with two different types of sensors. The old one I guess got a small sensor casing with 3 thin pins and the new one got a larger casing with 6 large pins. Also, you...

What you said about keeping the battery charged is true. I read that you have to charge the battery at least once every few months and make sure you don't allow it to discharge much over time in case...

Although I work mostly on automotive AC systems which only uses R12 and R134a, I have found that heated diode leak detector work the best on these refrigerants because they are easily sniffed rather...

I guess they have the dual voltage adapter now (115v to 230v). Just use any adapter with 12v and current rating no less than 2A, I use external hard drive adapter and H10PM works the best. If you buy...

They all look identical but I did open an H10pm made by Yokogawa and one by Bacharach and to be honest I felt the parts for Bacharach is cheaper. Both works the same and I found many here say the...

My father owns an automotive A/C repair workshop and he used multiple electronic leak detectors. He was mostly impressed with D-tek select so far and then TIFZX and TIF XP-1A. The H10pm was like the...

I forgot to answer about the H10PM battery. The device need a bit high voltage to operate well so when the voltage across battery goes down a bit the low batt LED will come on and then the device...

I do believe from what I read in this forum that concentration leak detection method can be a pain when finding large leaks as it seems it gets zero automatically without noticing or it just goes...

To be honest I was really interested into buying the JB prowler as I guess it is the newest on the market. Problem is that I searched a lot for reviews and feedback in this forum but not much talks...

I received the TIF ZX-1 with pointy probe tip a week ago and tried to replace only the tip while keeping the probe with the new tip plus the barrel filter as it works as a FM x FM adapter and it...

I would check that, thanks for the advice :grin2:

I just ordered new probe with new tip that has a plastic barrel filter and would try to install it instead of the pointy tip I got. Just one more thing, anyone got experience with new TIFZX that got...

Oh I also forgot to mention something about the wand and tip. I guess all the TIFZX models new and old got a wand that ends with male thread and the old pointy tip got a female thread so you can...

I see that makes more sense now :)
I live in UAE and they don't sell those leak detectors here. The one I showed you I did order from US and to be honest I saw two models of the old TIFZX-1 one with...

Sorry for the confusion. I just wanted to change the tip of the old unit because I found it hard to find the old filters. Most places I know they do not sell, out of stock. So if I want to use the...

Hello everyone,
I have a new model of TIFZX leak detector (with horizontal lights) and I only used it twice for testing purposes. Recently the pump inside started to be really noisy and I opened the...

Hi everyone. I am really glad that I joined this forum as I have been following on many post related to HVAC equipment and tools which really helped me a lot. I am trying to learn about A/C system in...
