    And this is what I miss with the older format of the shows. They take you step by step and they show you what they are doing. What they have done. They do not just say what they are planning and next scene have it done. Kevin and Ryan are the best hosts, Trucks or whatever they needed it later ever had.

      This is an old episode back in the day when people had taste and patina wasn't a main stream thing. Patina probably started as I can't afford paint to high end builders deciding they can save the labor and expense of a paint job but still charge you the price as if they had.

      I agree this truck looks fantastic but owning or working on a truck or car redone to this magnitude is stress x 10000. A friend of mine had a 70 something square body that had a billion dollar paint job on the body and frame. He had rubber hoses over his ratchet handles to name one extreme he went to protecting his cream puff. I absolutely hated working on that thing. Just replacing the exhaust was a nightmare. Ooh ooh careful watch it dont hit the frame, oh my god did you chip it. But then he treated his 70k suburban like a demolition car. Besides the look I can see why patina is popular. It's for cars to be genuinely enjoyed and not babied like jesus blessed the crown jewels

  • @Thegonagle
    @Thegonagle 7 місяців тому

    I think I figured out why they did it this way. You said it yourself, that the on-cycle time must be sufficiently long for the freezer to work properly given the path the refrigerant takes. Based on the sped-up video showing the progressing coldness through the evaporator, it lakes at least 10 minutes for the full length of the evaporator coil to become cold. By placing the sensor bulb near the end of the evaporator line, it ensures the on cycle time lasts at least long enough to give the freezer time to freeze.
    Another effect of this placement is that it can indirectly respond to a rise in freezer temperature as well as refrigerator temperature. When the compressor is off and the system is equalized, it’s using the refrigerant line as a capillary tube from the freezer compartment and effectively averages the thermostat’s reading between the two compartments. Still not ideal, but considering the low prices of mini-fridges, understandable. And clever!
