There is a fail in the Exploration of the Expansion valve.(13:10) it dosn't operate like this. If the evaporator is cold enough, the sensing refrigerant in the sensing Part retracts and closes the valve, becourse the refrigerant in the evaporator cant compleatly evaporate and so it makes sure that no liquid can go from the Output of the evaporator to the compressor.
But its Position is between condensor and the evaporator. Its Sensor is connected to the Output of the evaporator.
Think about the placement of the capillary Tube, its the Same as the Expansion valve.
Also it closes when its Sensor gets to cold and opens when it gets warmer.
(Sorry for some misspelled words, im german)😉
Thank you so much, I have learned something interesting
Your simple-to-follow teaching videos contribute greatly to many lives around the world. Thank you. I wish UA-cam (AKA Alphabet Corp.) knew that as well. C’est la vie.
Brilliant video, it explains the process very well. Please, my spicy chorizo, investigate cascading cryogenic systems. As the temperature for each level decreases, it uses a more appropriate refrigerant for the temperature and pressures that will be required.
Hey how are you can you please help me..i have a portable ac it does work and cools but the compressor keeps turnin off, do knw what can be causing this, it cools for one min and then stops can it be a sensor or is it somethin i can fix??
Some corrections for stuff in the video:
Air compressors usually use reciprocating compressors which have pistons but these types of compressors which are a second type of rotary vane compressor have a different design. It is not a screw compressor and I have taken one apart before. You usually find screw compressors on large water chillers. The liquid dryer is before the metering device.
R290 is propane aka a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbon refrigerants do not have any ozone depletion potential aka ODP. HFCs like r410a(r32 and r125) have no ODP but they do have GWP aka global warming potential. Hcfc refrigerants like r22 are being phase out and have both ODP and GWP. Cfc refrigerants like r12 are VERY VERY BAD and are illegal.
I agree scroll compressors are becoming more common but you will still see reciprocating compressors and rotary vane compressors. All motors that have VFD capability or multi speed capability can drive motors/compressors at variable speeds. Newer chillers usually have scroll compressors.
again you have proved with this video once again that *YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST EXPLAINERS AND CONTENT CREATORS ON UA-cam* probably one of the TOP TEN (y)
I remember during my thermodynamics course back when i was an undergrad student, the most hard part fpr the teacher was to explain the refrigeration cycle!!
Youn nailed it man 🔥 very well explained 🤙🏻
You explained how an AC unit works so well that everything finally clicked. Thank you. Your degree of knowledge and ability to describe the most technical aspects of a room air conditioner in the most simplest manner is exemplary. Bravo and thank you! You have a subscriber for life and, of course, will support as able.
I did convert my portable A/C to a dual hose and that seemed to help a lot. I eventually upgraded to a mini-split system. The portables are just too loud and I hated that mine used my window. My 12,000 btu can get my room ice cold and not even be phased while it seemed like my 10,000 btu portable had to work overtime to get my room down to a comfortable temperature. Portables and window A/C units are fine if you're renting. But if you own your home, you can't go wrong with a mini-split. Best thing I've ever done. Might install one in the living room next.
Mini Split is going to be the best. Wall or Window Units second. If in the states you need to look at BTUs SACC (Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity or DOE) for portables. Since most portables on the market are less efficient. As of 2017 most of your 10,000 BTU units are far less. Many people tend to miss this when sizing one. Which is why the gov. changed the BTU rating system for portables.
They do work if sized correctly and dual hose units seem to be a bit better.
I do have 10,500 BTU SACC unit. Zero Complaints for the space it cools. Renting. Although they start to get quite expensive in this range.
How did you convert it? I want to convert mine as well
@@Hieu.minh97 avoid condenser coil to suck air from inside room. Close it and attach one hose pipe. The keep other end of the hose pipe outside the room.
In short.. Existing portable AC has only one hose thats hot air out hose. Make one more hose set up at the inlet side of the condenser coil
Beautiful video, thanks. It would be fantastic to see also how to build a little working model of an air conditioner using cheap (and non toxic) components. It would be the only one existing on UA-cam
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Im a fan of the TXV, always thought about converting my fixed orifice so the compressor wouldn't constantly kick on and off. Anyway, great explanation of the components!
That was the best A/C how it works explaining i ever seen on youtube .🙏
I have watched so many videos explaining about air conditioning, and this video is by far the best one and easiest to understand.
this video is good for understanding the basic ac process because it is explained very simply and diagrammed very clearly...thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this knowledge. Great work yet simple enough to understand for everyone.
Love your videos! Couple correction.
1. Your fans are not turbine fans they are centrifugal fans.
2. It is not a screw compressor it is a rotary compressor.
3. The device on the compressor you referred to as a muffler is a suction accumulator (prevents liquids from being sucked into the compressor)
4. R290 is one of the most environmentally friendly refrigerants, but it is flammable.
5. The temperature sensors are likely thermistors and not thermocouples.
Great video thanks!
r290 is one of the least harmful refrigerants ozone depletion of 0 and green house warming of 3.
r410a has a green house warming of 2088 and r134a of 1410
Beat me to this comment! If you use deodorant in a can you shouldn't have an issue with this gas.
And if you use can air to clean your computer you also get at least a wrist slap 👋! They’re all refrigerants to some degree
the expansion valve is such a simple design but so effective. awesome video..
Great video! I’m considering making a frankenchiller out of an air conditioner by immersing the condenser coil in a cooler of glycol solution. It seems that these portable units would actually be a great choice for this since the condenser coil is already stacked at the bottom of the unit and you don’t need to bend the delicate copper pipes as you would on a window AC unit. Appreciate all of the close up shots, it was really helpful!…
Great Explanation 🔥🔥🔥
u always make stuff look so easyy, i really love how u explain topics!
Best explanation of AC working . Just outstanding . Must watch video
Loved to see that water evaporator thing. I wondered how they do that, my guess was just dripping water over the condenser. But then the device would be useless as a dehumidifier (used without exhaust hose).
Thank you so much for this informative video. I always wondered how does an Air conditioner works. This video clearly shows that.
Best explanation. Finally I understand how it works.
Awesome quality ! Thanks a lot ! I have learnt the hard way why these single hose models aren't massively efficient. I was wondering why so much air flow was created when I turned the apparatus on. This negative pressure inside the room is really self-defeating...
Excellent presentation, illustrations, explaining of abstract concepts. Subbed!
Thank you, this is the best explanation I’ve found online
don't worry about youtube algorithm ...your algorithm of way of explaination is great...one day whole world will know u❤
As usual great video with very detailed explanation....love your videos for the same reason
Great video sir. We all wish that channels like yours rise in youtube community
Great video with good graphics to support the theory explained!
I had viewed a lot of videos about the AC and the only thing that I couldn't understand was the expansion valve.
Finally with your explanation and very nice diagram I understand now.
There are two valves, one is the compressor and the other is the expansion valve. The expansion valve is an "open valve!"
Thanks for the video!
Same
Best air conditioner video I've seen, and I have watched a lot of them.
Suoer Simpe explenation - Thanks!
Now I know... I have always wondered how an AC unit works! Thank you!
thanks for the clear easy explanation.
Very nice and detailed teardown!
I also have one of those ACs and its a powerful unit: I think it has a 1000W compressor and I measured the cooled air outlet at below 10C. So it cools really well.
But the unit it too loud and its too powerful to be honest. The compressor runs at 100% power no matter what and it produces strong vibrations which I tried to dampen with rubber mats below the unit. That helped a lot.
It it possible to control the speed of the compressor with a VFD? Should work just fine since its just a big induction motor.
That was very detailed and very well explained.
Thank you Explanation is easy to understand.
Finally a real AC video and not some swamp cooler clickbait.
AWESOME explanation. thank you for this! subscribed!!
Thanks for this video, very helpful!
That's great man. i hope you continue your learning videos
FANTASTIC EXPLANATION.....THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Verygood explanation of the whole process . Well done.
Great video and explanation.
And what you said about the algorithm at the end (13:46) is 100% true, I have been saying this for a long time.
Thank you so much for this lovely video!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for educating us.
Thank you for this amazing Video. Have a great time. 👏👋👌
Great instructional video! ❤❤
Thanks i got a bit of knowledge how the air-conditioning works, hope you'll make more learning videos! 👍👍 2 thumbs up!
love from India 🇮🇳.... very well explained bro... i love your videos and love you too💕💕😘😘😘
Well I must say that I'm very fond of teaching/learning videos on UA-cam. Indeed, I liked the video, I always do ! I enjoyed it very much an it was an nice refresh on heatpumps. And of course I leave a comment to trigger the UA-cam algorithm. You deserve it !
What about some improvements like using an Arduino/ESP8266/RaspB. to remote control and/or monitor this AC with a web interface and/or smartphone/tablet ? Seems like a challenge to me. And while I'm suggesting... why not try to do temperature measurements with the famous DS18S20 ! I like that one very much !
Great Explanation
Thanks for this big effort
Thank you ! Great explanation !
Great video, well explained..thanks
this really learning video, thank you for the explanation, i always wait for your new video
Great video, very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Great explanation...! Thank you.
Wow clearly explained thank u
Great video, thank you!
Very good explanation. Well done!!
Always Waiting for your Videos 🤩🤩
Thanks the model you showed is very similar to my dumpster find. The controls are messed up and I hope to get it working with an Arduino. I wanted to know what the splash motor does, and you explained that very well. thanks for this video!
Great explanation. Keep up the great work.
ive heard that there are models with two ducts: one to get outside air to cool the condenser and another to return that hot air to the outside, thus not creating the vacuum nor reusing the recently cooled air. also, this reminds me of the Technology Connections video about the subject
Appreciate the first explanation.
Now a days the compressor used is an inverter compressor. It work by converting the AC current into DC and a motor driver (inverter) convert the DC current into variable frequency AC, so that it can be used to drive the motor of compressor in variable speed.
So instead of starting and stopping of the compressor like here, the compressor can operant at variable speed as load demands.
Hope this was helpful...
nice post but from the new inverter airconditioners we have, I haven't seen one that continuously works at low power. I hope manufacturers have a feature or setting to restrict ac to lowest power or most efficient operation.
great video! Thanks for sharing!
Best explanation on youtube 👌
Very good explanation thanks
You are fantastic. Great work
Another Excellent Video !!!
Great informational video. I have 5 of these AC. Need to learn about the cleaning & home owner maintenance since finding service is almost IMPOSSIBLE!!
You could try converting this A/C to a more efficient one by adding a 2nd tube which will take the air from outside.
I was thinking the same...
@Tiago Ferreira I know, I have one.
yes good idea!
It is already having the tude , just you have to put that through the window.
Ur comments tell u hvnt got the principal of AC working and thermodynamics
Thanks for sharing knowledge
Great video, I like teaching videos, aspecially if the subject is intresting. Great work :)
With a couple of exceptions, a very good explanation
No doubt you have explained it very well
Thanks for the information, very informative👍🏻
Yeah man amazing explanation it almost fells like 7yo would understand that. Well done, bro
thank you so much sir for this valuable information.
I watched a few videos and yours has put all the pieces together better for my hard to crack shell. Not much different but enough to answer the questions that developed from others. You rock man keep chilling. Is there any advantage to putting a louver on the entry door so that your draw comes from the shaded somewhat cooler hallways instead of the exterior windows? It would help in the winter also if you pay for heat, again not drawing from freezing temps. I’m a machine operator, not an a/c tech so it’s a guess on my part.
Very informative video. as always you are awesome
Buen video muchas gracias por compartirlo
Excellent information
i think that this video explains AC better than any others that I have watched. Thank you.
Just one thing you may need to correct. The R290 doesn't damage the ozone but it is a greenhouse gas like methane and CO2.
Thank you. Keep going like this.
Thanks sir from india. I am instructor for received. And a.c. department in govt . Industrial training institute . It s very useful animation and vidio to all trainee
Very nicely explained 😊
Greate presentation I was considering to buy portable AC thanks for the information I choose a split ac
Very informative, keep making these videos
Really clear explanation
Thank you for the video
very well explained
