    this really helped me
    during replacement of 2.5hp LG compressor, i had to remove the EEV to create space after the workdone i fixed the EEV clockwise direction and the system couldn't discharge refrigerant
    i came across this content that helped me understood the magnetic force and i clipped the EEV in anticlockwise direction and it worked 💪 ❤❤❤
    really grateful 🙏

    The cost engineering on these things is outstanding. I am a design engineer that has worked in various commercial and aerospace applications. We don't have the option to make ultra-high volume disposable units like this. It's actually hard to design this stuff to meet the cost and volume requirements. Very clever.

    One of the best EEV videos and explanations I’ve seen. -Certified Tech Support for Mitsubishi(DSG) and Fujitsu(TSA) VRF. Keep em coming! EEV’s are very reliable like you said, and if something fails, it’s most likely the coil. Mitsubishi makes a magnet that allows you to manually open/close. I can get you the PN if you are interested.

This vid came out the next day, lol thanks for your clear presentation. I bought your 1st book, and am eager to order this one as well! These minisplits are mysterious to me, and i dont necessarily like servicing them, but they definitely seem like the "way-of-the-future", so thanks for keeping us ahead of the curve!

    During initialization, I think it only seats it in one direction. The manufacturer knows how many pulses it takes to get to the other end.

    Hi, glad to get in touch with you.
    I work as an air conditioning technician for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Spain.
    I am pleased to inform you that I have developed a small tool to check the EEV of the different air conditioning equipment. Carrying out tests on devices for domestic, industrial, VRV and Aerothermal use of the previously mentioned brand and also domestic Hisense.
    These teams mount EEV from the manufacturers FUJIKOKI, SANHUA and SAGINOMIYA. With the device, the technician can verify three points that I consider important in the diagnosis of the element:
    - If the A/C equipment pcb transmits the signals to the EEV.
    - Measures the resistance of the EEV coils.
    - Finally, it can be opened - closed automatically, or manually select the number of opening or closing pulses.
    If you find it interesting, you could expand the information you consider appropriate.
    Greetings

    Never power a solenoid coil without the core that it operates. Without the core it won't generate a back EMF and the coil will experience overcurrent and burn out.

      It’s not a solenoid coil it is the field windings of a small stepper motor. He did no damage to it as there are only small electrical pulses provided in order of the colored wires, that drive the motor in small increments.

    Carrier had these on their flowtronic chillers. I had to replace two. They were very large, and made of brass. Pipes were 1 1/8” in and out. Ran on the same type of stepper motor, but used a lead screw to drive a slotted piston up and down. Two refrigerant circuits, 125 tons each. The chillers were an absolute service nightmare.

  • @whitesheatingairappliancer7101

    Whirlpool had this they might still have it on some of their french door refrigerators but five years ago they had this and we learned about training on it and one of the instructors he mentioned there was a filament that you can put up next to it and it'll show the magnetism. It was some special filament. I forget what it's called. Great video. Your new book that I purchased arrives Tuesday looking forward to it

  • @hackfreehvac
    @hackfreehvac Рік тому

    @9:30 many use say 1500 pulses and even into the thousands to go from full closed to full open.
    The stepper motor driver can do 1/2 step or 1/4 step down to say 1/8 etc by applying pwm varied pulses to the next pole while the first pole is still energized to clock the magnetic field between the two and then trims the first coil pwm down until it finally clock's to the next field.
    So then it an take 100+ various steps to do one rotation and have more precise control.
    On my DIY I just do full step and it takes right about 255 pulses to go from closed to open.

    @caffeinatedinsanity2324 Рік тому +2

    320 pulses for full travel is a good resolution but if you had something a little bit less precise, there's always the method of "half steps" that you can use that's not that much more complicated. It will double your number of possible angles you can position your motor at.

    Apparently the magnet in the vent and the coils outside form a rough stepper motor. It saves a relative expensive standard stepper motor (which could as well get magnetic coupled to the inside of the vent), but provides some sort of positioning control. A little DC-motor with an incremental encoder would be more expensive and its gearbox has more wear.
