Buy a detec or h-10. Only two I’ve found reliable or accurate enough

[QUOTE=VTP99;25988228]What's the difference between operating & shipping ?[/QUOTe
Shipping includes crating, operating include water in tower.

No excuse with new equipment. Had an old bac, rust & scale probably as heavy as the tower. Crane tilted and tower sides collapsed, but no other damages other than underwear.

TABLE 403.3.1.1
MINIMUM VENTILATION RATES

J. If the tenants of the dwelling have exclusive use of the garage below, no exhaust is required.

You need to look at the controls sequence.

So long as you have isolation valves that hold. Always skeptical about leaving unattended charge in condenser or evap. Seen a few chillers freeze up if water left in heat exchangers.

There are three manuals, 050, 063/087, 100/126.
Which is needed?

Evaporator approach?

Would love to see the piping drawing for that system. Most of issues that I’ve seen required adjusting the charge as seasons changed.

If you have a receiver you must maintain a liquid seal to the expansion valve be either using elevation, pressurized control, or suction/liquid line heat exchangers. Seen a number of r22 systems...

Lots of free power points online.
Danfoss , emerson/copeland has a couple of dozen shorts ,some with quiz's.
email me and I’ll send a few Items next week.

Under all loads there must be adequate subcooling at the expansion valve to feed without flashing before the valve seat, ~2-4*f sc. subcooling drops as you unload, line and components cause sc loss,...

Guess you have never seen a mollier diagram. Or does science not apply in your world?

Trane is the only company that I’m aware of that balances a wheel on the compressor. The term would indicate a different procedure in most cases. I had asked earlier that you clarify the procedure,...

York used to test run closed systems with “dry” air. Combination of pressure and temp caused combustion of oil and chiller exploded killing the testers. That was when ashrae changed the policy on...

See ashrae 15- 1994. Air shall not be used for pressure testing or run test.

Air run implies running a machine using air. Used to be a common test procedure on older equipment. Running a...

List the complete procedure for discharge gas for air run. Can’t recirculate was what i was referring to. Hot air from compressor air run blew up at York and same has happened at allis chambers.

Run with air and risk combustion.
Probably been working on centrifugal before you was born.

Clarify “air run”. Air run is illegal since 90’s accident at York that killed a few. Nitrogen ok.

Ceramic or oil filled. Nothing with red hot elements or anything hot enough to catch a paper towel on fire.

Best to start with 80-90% of name plate and trim based on full log sheet and design data. Mfg literature or as sold design info as reference.

Assuming full load design conditions, charge by subcooling. Verify ssh, dsh sh, evap approach, liquid line approach, & condenser approach.

Subcooling will drop as load decreases.

Some techs like the digital gauges because some give a digital log. I don't like the printout because 30-50% of the info needed for through analysis on a log sheet is missing.
