I have not seen a liquid line muffler before. I inspect all items during maintenance. When the paint flakes I use a wire brush to clean and then a little spray paint to protect.
The entire case of the rotary is high pressure vapor, so it works like a muffler, I have seen them but early. They are also less likely on scrolls too, most common on reciprocating.
I am replacing my first accumulator on a 3 ton scroll that leaked all the oil and R22 out. Any suggestions on how much oil to add to the accumulator before soldering it back in?
3 years ago I spent 8900 bucks on a 15 seer Ruud Heat Pump 3.5 Ton. Why is it that my Heat pump does not have a accumulator also does not have a heater on the compressor that belly band that keeps liquid out. Well my Ruud Slugs quite often during start up. Not for long about a minute it does. That is what I was told by my next-door neighbor who is a commercial refrigeration guy. He works on walk in coolers and things. My heat pump sucks so bad , its very loud its got a two blade fan that spins at 1100 Rpms and is very steep pitch wise and is very weak on heat. My old junker was a 2013 Gibson that lasted a whole 6 years and died had Pistons on the inside and out and heated very well this thing with Txv valves on the in and out can't heat much at all. Reminds me of my grandmothers old packaged Westinghouse the air was alway about 83 coming out of the vents so was cold always. I bought me a scratch and Dent 18,000 btu it says York but I was told Midea made it got it for 500 bucks and installed it myself . Its a 28 seer Mini split and it kicks ass cooling and is silent and my bill dropped by 40 bucks.. No Accumulator I can't believe that. They really want them to last just a few years and die..
I would have some add a crank case heater, it's cheap and easy to do. TXV work much much better than fixed offices inside and out. The biggest issues I find with heat pumps is the installation. #1 air flow is always bad. Bad airflow, bad ductwork makes heat pumps suck. I see it all the time #2 installation being a proper vacuum being pulled before the refrigerant was opened and then proper charge. Improper vacuum leads to copper plating and early compressor death. Improper charge because so many techs do not understand superheat and subcooling.
Your videos are all priceless to my continued education. I cant get enough of them!
Thanks Ty. Another excellent heat pump tutorial! Keep'em coming!
Thanks, will do!
Nicely done. Better than 3d demonstration.
The liquid line muffler in heat pump is normally rusted badly and a potential leaking spot. Have been fixed several already

Mufflers go on discharge lines. If badly rusted I'd look into your temps
Hobetnan76 said it first. Priceless. Thank you. raphae, nyc
Great video information 👍❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience 🇵🇭🫡🫡🫡
The little screen in the bottom wouldn’t that picked up also any liquid from the refrigerant vapor if there’s any in there with the oil?
Very well done! 🙂
is it possible for the liquid to go through the screen and reach compressor?

100%
Thank you 🙏
Where is the refrigerant stored on a pre charged condenser unit?
They charge them into the liquid line so it is stored in the condensor.
Great video and explanation Ty
Thank you Jason!
Great video Ty. Thank you.
Thanks Brian!
Very nice.
Thanks you, So bummed I did not get to meet you when I was there
i noticed no muffler on a rotary compressor, wondering why?

Thanks a Million!!
Thank you was excellent
How is oil picked up from the accumulator without picking up liquid refrigerant?
That's the reason the hole is so small, so it will meter in the liquid in a small enough amount to handle it.
@@love2hvac thank you
You’re amazing!
Thanks, that makes me day!
Can we surmise anything based on frost growth on the accumulator exterior while in heat mode?
Great question!
Not really anything we can use. It will hold the excess in heating mode so it's normal and depends on the conditions.

Unfortunately the
Hi Ty! Why the liquid refrigerant not pass the strainer in the bottom while the oil can pass it? Thankfully.💐
Hi sammer,
Some liquid refrigerant can also pass but it's a metered amount and it carries oil with it.
I came across an entire storage facility with suction line driers on heat pumps, outside the condensers...
Oh that's not good!
👍👍
Hey ty when did you change your channel name? I blew past a few till I figured out it was you
I have been slowly transitioning for a while now. I finally did the name change last week.
I want the channel to be about HVAC, not me.
