First video or part 1 - ua-cam.com/video/7qdpJlk26YI/v-deo.htmlsi=f2vRIAXEWDVSuDy-
This video is brought to you by sporlan. Quality, integrity and tradition.
This video is brought to you by BS danfoss I has to deinstall a quadzilla to put all 4 new valves under warranty when the MFG said "just change the one that's failed" I said "bad idea change all 4" they responded "it's our call"
And guess what 2 more failed in less than 2 days 😂😂😂 pieces of CRAP in total I had to put 8 valves in and the customer had to pay almost 10k in non covered labor and stuff. They were PISSED. Follet Nugget machines use the same brand on their liquid line solenoid and I've had to change some of those too ... Put a sporlan in and be done with that crap
The Emerson valves in Scotsman machines failed maybe 1/5000 and only after 20+ years......
i always love to hear that on every videos
@@JustinSmout same haha
@jasontexter1721 anything from Danfoss is complete trash. Not worth a single penny. There pressure controls don't even last a year. I've had at least 10 fail on me last year alone
@@Colt-wr6wx honestly never had a danfoss pressure control fail and we had a location with 15 of them 😂 now go out of adjustment slightly yes. But nothing a good set of gauges and a service wrench can't fix 🤷♂️
Cool videos brother,,,,,,,,I'm watching from Zimbabwe Africa,,,,,,I'm also a ref tech,,,,,,,,, hardly do Aircon though more in commercial and industrial refrigeration,,,,,,,,you use tools I could only dream of using,,,,,,,,,,,but I still achieve very great and perfect workmanship
Ngazviende mberi wangu. Tirimo muchi round. I’m Zimbabwean too,based in the Middle East.
OMFG I wish I would have known you could open all the solenoid valves like that!! Thank you for that.
Glad to help
@@HVACRVIDEOS Yes sir, will save me some headaches in the future.
I'm looking forward to finding a refrigeration pro like you working on a air to water heat pump and explaining how to check the effectiveness of the outdoor unit based on temperature probes and refrigerant pressures
Caray Chris tú sabes en realidad cómo resolver éstos problemas en las máquinas Manitowoc de verdad lo digo sinceramente. Gracias por compartir y enseñar a resolver grandes problemas. Te felicito onestamente.
Saludos a todos ustedes desde Coacalco Edo de México.
Yep, just got up and I yawned after you did. The 15% silfos is very interesting, but makes sense. Thanks Chris.
I believe I have replaced more Danfoss parts that any other. So yes, totally agree with protecting them from the heat. Good work again. Love your videos.
Hussmann had a patent for defrost that was originally called "Kool vapor defrost." Now Manitowoc is using on their ice machines, and it is called "Cool vapor defrost. " They just change one letter basically when patent expired.
Yes I believe so, the defrost gas was taken from the top of the receiver not the hot gas from the discharge line, less evaporator shock and less residual heat to remove post defrost.
Hussmann had a rack that they call it Kool defrost it’s nothing new .
@@hvacrnortheastern2110
Hussmanns koolgas never worked properly, hence hotgas on their racks now.
I usually do a nitrogen leak test, then pull vacuum as my secondary test to make sure no leaks. Job well done 👍🏽
What i really find good on your work ethic is your clean type of approach and work and ost of all you always take all safty measures. Like eyepro etc. I am no pro but i learned a lot about braising from watching you and for hobby and a bit of diy work it has helped me a lot.
Thanks Bud
I personally have had a really good experience with the orange rods. I dont dispute the use of 15%....but my personal choice would have been using a 56% rod. No wrong choice, though. It is cool to know that it's an option to use if in a pinch. Or vice versa. Great video as always Chris.
i just got put back on our ice machine pms at work and they are 12yrs old hoshizaki. mostly issues with the ice link vac system to soda machine and it keeping up on heavy weekend events. not sure if 10-30yr life on those is realistic in a 24/7 SOUTHERN (hot/humid) casino work environment. keep up the content bro.
always had my best luck soldering those valves in using #56 solder, just seems to work on steel better to me. seems to flow a little better. great video's
I have brazed a lot of those stainless steel copper plated valves, yes the solders looks like garbage, but still pretty easy to braze.
You know what....Manitowoc always made me allot of money in Emergency calls.
Thanks for a really good brazing demonstration in this video and how do deal with brazing in difficult situations. I also liked the tips in the commentary at the end, which made a nice bonus. All this is why I watch your videos. I always watch the commentary at the end because you add more information and context to the documentary video preceding it that either was not or could not be included at the time. I like the way I always learn something from watching one of your videos.
Regarding the yawn... At the time I watched this video, which was very late at night here, I yawned myself then you did in the video as though I made you yawn, which was a bit spooky. But then if life wasn't weird occasionally it would be rather dull I think. Cheers, Chris and thanks for another great video.
Greetings from across the pond
Good job done on this one
I hate ice machines
Most jobs are time consuming which if you are self employed is not an issue but if you Work for a company is a nightmare
You know the old are you not done yet hurry up and get out of there .
And ice machines can give you the run around .
GOD knows people need their Ice at a Restaurant. Strong 💪 Efforts with the Repair. 👍🙏
That was a great job Chris!......Shout out to will too!
I think you would have a better time with 56% flux coated rod. Worth a shot.
Would a reversible heat pump filter drier be an option if OE drier was not available to handle the reverse flow conditions?
watching these amazing videos from south Australia
Great Video as always. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Chris great video! At work I use the JB DV-22N Micron Gauge, when it starts acting funny I Clean it IPA Rubbing Alcohol seems to do the trick for me.
I enjoy watching his videos I have to say. I know that all Services Tech’s are expert soldering instructors but I would like to give some advice to those experts out there. 5/25 is all you will ever need pressure wise in HVACR. The flame is mainly to keep the torch going. The oxygen does the magic. 1/4” (or less) blue flame at tip and that’s all u need. Less gas wasted and less contaminants/black dust/ whatever, In the system.
I love your videos , so educational , I want to go back for school and learn to be an HVAC tech when I return to work
It's a great trade, and the industry is in desperate need of new technicians. I would recommend it.
you gotta get like a tool belt or a magnet tray to keep your tools and stuff together
at the top drier connection 14:45 it looks like it opened a cavity that joint, that might be why it was not pulling a good vacuum
My experience with those copper steal valves were nice and easy same practice as always
Another great video, I enjoy watching all of them, very educational.
could you not use a swage tool on those small valves. just a tiny tiny bit to open it up ever so slightly so that pipe sneaks in there a little better?
Oh yeah, I have a few choice words for those sensor clips..lol
Good job Chris
12:33 would gloves help here?
Great video. You are a smart man.
Thanks Chris for great videos has always.
Have you considered using a press style fitting, such as Sporlan's Zoomlock? I know it's far more expensive but it would probably save a ton of time replacing parts. Thanks!
Thanks Chris 😊
Your very welcome
Hey can you have been saying that r232 is running out can u convert a r232 to 410a
Good question, I'll add this to my list of discussion topics for the upcoming live stream.
Yawn - no.
Fall asleep and snore - yes.
I watch your videos before bed =)
Lol
thanks chris for the awesome videos. im digging the new intro!
You could put a 2 valves and flair joint on that line set and you could have easy access and not have to recover from above the valve
Thanks for another awesome video Chris! 👍🏻
Wouldn’t heat cloths be more appropriate for brazing ?
14:44 do you think the drier has a leak?
How often do you work on Scottsman Ice Machines?
how come you all didn't use a heat shield to protect that FRP?
Thanks for making me yawn lol great video!
Your welcome
Nice job ❤
I’m not a refrigeration tech, I’m also not sure who the installing contractor is, wouldn’t it make sense to install a flare fitting there to make repairs easier? I understand that it is a leak point, however so is an improper braze joint.
A proper brazed joint may never leak, the chance of a flare leaking is greater than a brazed joint
This makes total sense, to me. Just seems like a logical suggestion if something is going to be removed periodically for repairs or inspections.
What is the function of purpose of the two cool vapor valves
They are for defrosting the ice
I vote to go back to the old opening we need I back
I am digging the new intro.
I hate working on acs. I enjoy your videos though.
Who of been nice if they put the valves on that can be rebuilt without having to resolder.
I think that tech might be his favourite😂
Why do you say that?
Hi bro from west Alabama
u got me with the yawn
they should have a kind of a paste. Like a leak lock for this tight spot, I have the feeling that this is so primitive. I'm going to contact space force and check with them I bet they have an easy way to do this.😄😄😄😄
Lol, that's funny
You need pto days,go to the beach.
What happened to the quality, integrity and tradition? How am I supposed to be able to fall asleep now?
Why not use any flux for it go on smooth ?
I'll dive into this a bit more on my upcoming live stream Monday
Copper coated on the inside of the stainless
Legit first time I've seen someone yawn on youtube, and I've been around since the golden age watching these types of videos. Don't forget to take a vacation before all that hair turns grey lol
"Two hose pull." Sounds like something I want no part of.
Are you sure ?
@@HVACRVIDEOSAbsolutely.
Not me but my wife definitely yawned
These valves cant be cleaned or repaired? All the danfoss ones ive ever seen over here could be disassembled, never bothered with replacing one
Yes you made me yawn Mr. Chris lol.
Oh Danfoss my least favorite valves to braze in!
yeah. I yawned 10 sec later.
I won this round. I didn't yawn
I yawned 😂
👍🏿
Welbilt Welshit
830 thumbs up
They pretty complexed compared to the old ones.
Contagious yawn : yes. good video though
Yep made me yawn lol
Lol wide awake
Sympathetic yawn activated
Yawndo, the ice mutilator!
Lol
welp, made me yawn
Stop Yawning!
😐
You made me yawn lol
It’s ugly as fudge because you’re still improperly soldering the joints and using way way too much solder. It would be nice if you would learn the proper way and do some samples in your office and how to do it right.
