    I have a quick question I have a refrigerator in a good working condition ,I installed the piercing valve and my low side pressure is 40 psi, and he said is supposed to be 60-70 psi . what does it mean?

      Sorry for late reply so many videos don't have time for many responses, when you got that pressure reading was the compressor running? measuring pressure should really be done with the unit running. Please respond on our website all communications go trough me if you want to talk further.

    Bypassing the Yoder loop affects subcooling. I did it in a Subzero and I could not get the freezer to go below 10 degrees no matter how I adjusted the charge. I ended up installing an external Yoder loop to solve the problem.
    I've also bypassed the loop on smaller refrigerator with no issues. It depends on the length of the loop

    • @appliancetraining5600

      The valves in most compressors are reed valves. A reed valve is just a thin flat piece of stainless steel, for both the intake valve and discharge valve. Depending on the position of the piston in the compressor it is possible for the system to equalize faster than average as the valves are not completely sealed or slightly warped. Here is a link to a teardown video showing the reed valves inside a compressor. ua-cam.com/video/3Uwx-_VecHo/v-deo.html

      I think in small refrigerator systems may cause more problems than repair. But if means saving a $14,000 refrigerator I would prefeer to repair as much as I could and only use if all other options did not fix the problem. TMM Appliance

    Some they open the back body of the refrigerator to access the pipes then check for leaks and do brazing. Some recoil the whole evaporator coil and join with the capillary tube. Can I also get like a wiring schematic of different types of refrigerator since some have an internal condenser coil and some have external condenser coil, some they join copper pipe with aluminum pipe using lockring which is more likey to have leak and they use also steel joining it with the internal pipes.

    Does the service port of the compressor normally balance out same as a suction line when the compressor shuts off?

      Service port and suction line are exactly the same thing and are interchangeable you can put suction on service port and access valve on suction line.

    Couldnt you cut both sides and test pressure in the yoder loop in a vaccumm and see if the loop holds pressure or not for a leak test?

    • @TMMApplianceRepair
      @TMMApplianceRepair  11 місяців тому +1

      leaks are better tested with pressure, although you can not fix most yoder loops, vacuum will say a tube is leaking same as pressure, but a vacuum could risk pulling moisture, dirt or other things into the system, where pressure like nitrogen would leak out reducing that risk

  • @faletiute
    @faletiute 11 місяців тому

    can we increase pressure from external air compressor to around 300-500 psi to detect leaks? in that way even a weak spot on the pipes or joints can crack, etc, self admitting weak points. Because the higher the internal pressure, the easier to detect holes as they makes alot of sound when air is escaping through it in a very fast rate.

    • @riz65
      @riz65 8 місяців тому

      evaporators in refrigerators are mostly made of aluminum, anything over 100PSI nitrogen will possibly damage the evaporaor

    • @rolandberendonck3900
      @rolandberendonck3900 3 місяці тому

      Yes, you could do that and the chance is that you system will explode because of the pressure. But in that case you finally found an obvious leak.

    Whirlpool offers a dye drier as well for r134 systems. Cannot use dye on r600.
    Generally we nitrogen charge and listen for the hiss to check for leaks. Since you didn't find it in the rear I am guessing leak at the evap. Maybe the heater rubbed or burned a hole in the evap

  • @CrocO1978

    Hello, I have a question. Can heart failure be checked with air or only with gas? The second question is about gas, is mixing gases not a problem? Because R134a was first filled here, and later Nitrogen, by creating a gas mixture, does this not have to be reversed and filled with the same gas? Because the air is free at high pressure, we check the heart failure at the maximum test pressure, and if it is, we repair it, vacuum the device and fill it with gas. If it is filled with gas, but the system is leaking, I cannot use a gas flame directly, because the explosion is dangerous, on the other hand, in the case of a pressure test with clean air. Greetings from Hungary! And thank you in advance for your answer!

    • @riz65
      @riz65 Рік тому +2

      Sorry not sure what you mean about heart failure. Bit it is a common practice to use a small amount of a trace gas with nitrogen to test for leaks. Electronic leas detectors can not detect nitrogen this is why tlwr add refrigerant. Once the leak is identified the nitrogen is evacuated from the system and charged back with r134a. Nitrogen js an inert gas so will not cause any problems qhen mixed with refrigerant. This is done to raise the entire systems pressure to test for a leak. It is not used when the compressor is operating.

    38:10 - I can hear you better when the camera is zoomed in; but, I can barely hear you when it is panned all the way out. That's weird!
    40:51 - Compare that to right here 41:00 - and here: 41:15 - and here: 43:09 - Drastic difference! I'm glad you have caption turned on so I can understand you when you voice drops to nothing.
