    Looks like it’s been like that for a while, takes a lickin the Goodman/Copeland keeps on tickin...if the equipment failed early in its life, the manufacturers gets the blame.

    Heat Pump or straight A/C

    OR...

    Does it leak yet...

    As with all those joints and chicken scratch welding...

    It may be more a question of when, rather than if...

    That is just capacity control for the oversized AC to get longer run times.

    In class as part of our brazing test we had to braze a 1/2 inch to a 3/16 cap tube. Part of the test was also not filling the cap tube with filler. I’m sure mine wasn’t to much different looking than that one.

    Actually passed the test with an a. Thought I was a good brazer. Then I got into the real world and quickly realized I sucked. Brazing on a bench top vise sure is different then upside down and backwards in a compressor compartment.

    I think there were a lot of things they could have done better. Working in the lab is nothing like the real world.

    I thought I was pretty hot stuff coming out of school all around. In reality I knew nothing. Thank god I had friends in the trade I could call otherwise I would have probably have given up on the trade.
