Nice repair. Is that 1/2" or 3/8" going to the vacuum pump?
Found a circuit flat on charge yesterday and repaired it today.
found leak at 50psi nitrogen and bubbles to verify
better picture of whole coil
repaired leak with #0 tip
also found this fitting to leak and replaced
the coil all back together

i also replaced the drier with a correct size one.

Nice work. It feels good after a repair like that.
Boy you really took us through step by step. I felt like I was assisting you. Nice job. What do you set your regs on the oxy/acc rig fot that repair?
You need to put the phone down and get back to work!
Have you noticed the micron reading inaccurately that close to the pump?

We actually had a rep from Emerson down to the shop not to long ago tell us that it was impossible to get all the moisture out of POE oil even with a deep vacuum. Of course he also told us that the compressors that where being install on the line should only be open to atmospere for five minutes at most. Of course this is all in side of a factory setting.
Nice job..... looks good.
Seen this in action. Most of the pipers where I work love their rosebuds. Find a leak in a unit during test, they will burn the hell out of everything around it while fixing it. Really POs everyone down the line. I normally get stuck fixing pipe insulation. I have been trying to fix the leaks myself but I don't have the skills of people doing that type of work 24/7 for years.
Good job man, ive got a few trane package units around here that ive had do do the same thing, one in the same spot
Life's tough, it's even tougher if your stupid
The EMERSON rep was 100% right. It is impossible to remove moisture from POE oil. I know, we have tried in the lab. The oil must be changed. The minimal open time is 100% correct too. POE will wick moisture from the air at an alarming rate. It is extremely hydroscopic (sp). This is why the compressors are shipped with plugs and about 5 psi of dry air.
Knew it was a Trane, red compressor!
