  • Superheat is controlled by the expansion valve only if the sensing bulb is strapped to the cold suction line

    I am a DIY’er. All of your videos are educational. Thank you for sharing.

    I appreciate your mentoring me with your videos. I truly mean this. Messages through UA-cam will never properly articulate how grateful I am for the actual knowledge I gain from you. I graduated with an associate degree in Automotive Technology. I started an Automotive ac business and have run it for 6 years. I have watched numerous UA-cam videos. I have done research. I have diagnosed and fixed so many AC systems. I understand I must keep learning. I found your videos from a mechanic friend. He spoke highly of you. All of this, yet you have provided something above the rest. Your videos cut to the heart of what is important. You are dropping some great knowledge. It obviously comes from a wealth of experience. Your knowledge and experience come through in what you are presenting. You understand what I don't know and deliver it to me. I appreciate this because someone who can do that is very hard to find. Thank you sir.

    Absorbing the coldness ? 😁 Your slipping Tom. I am only kidding of course. Nice little series, enjoyed that.

    The “jury is still out” on the heat transfering paste”
    It is necessary evil when you have, or high probability of having a gap. But tight metal to metal contact is better.
    If you secure it tight, and eliminate possibility of The corrosion/oxidation - it’s better to go without it.
    Also “clock” position on the pipe is important, for good temp reading.

      @@commenter5469 on this one there is no level straight flat metal to metal surface
      Only a small elbow 90° footprint that has rough raising material on it that has been wire wheel down and ground nothing flat
      That’s why on this one specifically heat transfer compound needs to be applied to compensate for the rough uneven surface
      And in this position, there is no right position to apply to sensing bulb on such a small line with high velocity refrigerant.
      Automobiles are not like residential and commercial placement of the bulb is not as crucial as in large diameter lines.

      @@coldfinger459sub0 That was a kinda trivial question.
      And it wasn’t precise question also.
      It’s not widely known, but “two phrase” line is the line between TXV and evap, distributor ( which might not be there in this case, that’s why it is not “precise”).
      Most of the time that line very short.
      In cases when TXV is bolted on to evap port it’s virtually nonexistent.
      Bat that’s the area of true saturation temp/pressure, opposed to inside the evap.
      Which in single row tube and fin will be very close, multiple circuits evap not as close ( measured in suction line), and in case of microchanel - scewed.

      @@commenter5469 OK I thought I said something in the video. I could not remember saying about two phase
      Now I know what you’re talking about the old expansion valves that we used to use in Automotive defense to pressure directly off the section line .
      And sometimes even had a third line oil bypass bleed port .
      Another extinct technology no longer used in Automotive .
      I really wish Automotive would go back to the older style expansion valves. I would love to be able to make up still can use Dan Foss or Sporlan expansion valves that I could change heads on.
      I want to do a video of using R290 Foss expansion valve
      And removing the Automotive large wide body receiver dryer.
      To replace it with a receiver dryer that is proportional to the extremely small refrigerant charge of R290
