Yup, that's my plan as well. Use chilled water if possible, condenser and or city water is a secondary method, either way is better than nothing at all
Thats a really good setup you made there. I see those brazed plate heat exchangers for sale at united all the time, hop you don't mind if I borrow your idea?
Sorry for my poor English, i can give you the better solution regarding subcooler, you can use chilled water from running chiller, no wastage of water, use it like a fcu unit, it's work great
It’s essential kit for chiller recovery outdoors, especially on 410 scroll chillers in the summer. I don’t bother when doing repairs in the snow as it’s cold out already. Cheers bro. Sorry for spamming your comments, got bored after work. Haha😂
@@FrenchBeefCDNbro you know any helpful videos to learn these types of units , I’m in school for HVAC just trying to still get more better understanding as well
Good deal. Glad it worked! Nice touch with the thermal images at the end.
🤜🤛 it worked as hoped for.
Take inlet and outlet from any running cooler

You runnin both suction and liquid lines with gauges into a T then through your recovery machine and through the subcooler to the tanks?
I was doing a vapor pull. I used the push pull and didn't record pulling the liquid out.
I was using just the Appion speedy wye. No gauges.

I absolutely don't mind. I put it out there to share with others. Let's all rise to the top
You may want to share with us the *why* you're using a subcooler
It looks like he has his recovery cylinders out and is trying to recover liquid faster with the sub cooler
@daniellundquest8252 that's exactly it. Faster recovery.....faster to get the repairs completed

Yes, that is my plan, when available to use
You mentioned on build video to have gauge for pressure drop.. how about ewt and lwt?
I didn't check the water temps, I would feel it every once in awhile. The leaving felt about 15° warmer, but that's just a guess
@@jasonjohnsonHVAC that's good drop!
@FroggieBeluga it worked great. It was 97° outside today and it didn't struggle at all. With the sun shining on the recovery tank

Nice to see some RTAA still in service, Subcooler did it’s duty 🫡👍
I like RTAA's....built during a time when we didn't need to over complicate things. Simple machine that does it's job. Subcooler worked flawlessly.
@@jasonjohnsonHVAC totally agree
