it ate itself yet the outside looks new lol those are built like a tanks you could drop it of a building and it will probably go through the fucking earth lil
I am commenting on a 1/1/2 year old video, sorry. I found it very cool and interesting. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest USA. Where I grew up farmers would use a propane fired heaters to dry grain. They did this to bring the moisture count under a certain percentage. They would be on the outside of the grain bin connected with duct work and fire under a perforated floor. Very common to have to dry corn in the area. Propane can be expensive, seems like that would be cheaper than using propane gas. Cool video on the setup and failed compressor.
Thanks! We look after one site where the refrigeration system is supplemented with a propane heater, frightening when it fires up as no safety guards etc haha
What a mess in that crankcase from one silly nut. I'm so glad to see some new vids from you! Did you get a new camera? I could never hear you talking in your older videos but this one is nice and clear!! Keep up the good work HD...
heavydiesel i'm repair copeland like this too, with refigant R22. But i want to ask u sir.. what oil type to used copeland like this? suniso 3gs/4gs/5gs or emkarate?
Look at the oil strainer in the video as it looks almost totally clogged with sediment would lead me to believe that is where the problem began because of lack of oil pressure, I've seen many of these failures over the years even up to where crankshafts have broken in half. I am not dismissing your diagnosis by any means but as I said judging by the the oil strainer condition in the video I would have started there.
Harry Dickson Yes it always surprises me the motor has enough power to do all the damage, but i guess a 20hp motor probably has 80hp worth of torque when stalled.
today i faced broken 3/6 con rods. i may say the nut problem as secondary problem. and main cause could be the flood back and oil level switch. none of electrician can verify the accumulator and the oil switch.
Good video. Thanks for Up this type of vídeos. Greetings from Mexico. Qué tal recibe un cordial saludo desde México, buen video, gracias por compartir.
Dan Gunson Thats what i wondered to start with as this machine sits idle for months until the harvesting season, but the valves were all good so i don't think any significant amounts of liquid got in the bores. I think one of the bearing cap nuts came loose and because someone had bypassed the oil safety switch there was nothing to stop the compressor from wrecking itself.
Wow all 4 connecting rods broke. That thing ate its self alive... great video HD
rasta1kikker Thanks, It sure did!

For the loss of a nut. Total destruction. Good video. Thanks for posting.

grayfurnaceman Thanks!

Wow ! Thanks for sharing. Great video.Always enjoy watching these.
Main.Tech (Rick) Pleased you enjoyed the vid Rick!
Now that’s a tear down investigation 👍🏼
One little nut made a big mess of that one great vid
Yeah, we later found out all the safeties had been linked out so it would never trip on oil or gas pressure issues.
That's some smashed up rods! Have never seen them completely pulverised like that
Sorry, your both correct. I was overwhelmed by the destruction
What is that noise coming out of the machine? I don't know, just turn the music up louder!
They said they didn't hear a thing when it failed!
can the old compressor still be rebuilt by a remanufacturer?
I94SOUTH Yeah, the rest of it seemed in good condition, new set of rods and pistons, new oil pump and valve plates and be nearly as good as new.
Wow, that's completely destroyed! very interesting, thanks John :)
Alan Cordwell Thanks Alan, yeah think this is the worst i have seen where the motor was still ok!

Nicholas CeeA Thanks! Used my Sony camera for this, sometime i use my phone but the quality is not as good. The Sony is a bit big on some jobs.
Cool autopsy John . Man that was a spectacular death !
Michael Shank Thanks Mike!

Big job, i dont understand, you recover all the gas? The tap from suction and discharge pipe was faulty?
It was an R22 system so we had to convert it to something else, in this case R407C.
@@heavydiesel yes, i understand now....
Dissection is so much fun.
hannarye Yeah, i like working out how things broke, plus i get to play with the big socket set on these!

We found out the control circuit had been bypassed, so the low oil pressure switch could not stop the compressor.
good job, how I which it could be possible for me to be there with you to know more. perfect job and nice tools.
Thank you!
Excelente vídeo explicativo
Thank you!
It really came apart !! Nice video HD
Wow that was a catastrophic failure nice show and tell heavydiesel
Harry Dickson Yes it always surprises me the motor has enough power to do all the damage, but i guess a 20hp motor probably has 80hp worth of torque when stalled.
Tazzman228 Thanks!
That is a nasty death! Great video 😋
Thanks!
Please prepare overhauling video on
DWM COPELAND

Hi, we don't fix them ourselves, we just take them to the specialist company to do it. This one we took to pieces just out of curiosity.
Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly!
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Mr. B. Thanks!
today i faced broken 3/6 con rods. i may say the nut problem as secondary problem. and main cause could be the flood back and oil level switch. none of electrician can verify the accumulator and the oil switch.
Yes we were just guessing what caused the failure.
Good video. Thanks for Up this type of vídeos. Greetings from Mexico. Qué tal recibe un cordial saludo desde México, buen video, gracias por compartir.
+Angel Diaz Thank you! Greetings from the UK :-)
they probably heard this thing from miles away when it went!
Its next to a big diesel generator so they didn't notice until it stopped cooling!
Ouch! Nasty!
FrontSideBus Indeed!
Boy that one took a beating
hardcooling It did! i think with the noise of the generators running next to it and the fans, no one noticed till it was too late.
Wow that oil's like overheated caramel!
Machine Man Yeah is a 68 grade, smaller compressors use a 32 grade oil. Plus it was full of ali dust from the rods!
A little JB Weld and it'll be good as new!!
Cory Farren Might give that a try :-p
As the Indian friend said in the movie "bachelor party": "Holy Malloy!"
Jason Haight Are you sure that wasn't the woman who was served hot dogs?
Jason Haight Indeed!
Cooll Asice Think that was Holly Malloy :-p
RECÔNDICIONEI MUITO.
it just needs a bit of jb-weld, I like carnage tear down videos :))
Yeah, its amazing it kept running long enough to do that much damage!
perfect engrs i love that
Thank you!
Perfect carnage!!
Knuckles the Echidna Yeah! its provided a few more pieces for my shrapnel collection!
Looks like it tried to compress some liquid.
Dan Gunson Thats what i wondered to start with as this machine sits idle for months until the harvesting season, but the valves were all good so i don't think any significant amounts of liquid got in the bores.

FIZ MUITO ESSE MOTOR SEMI HERMÉTICO E HERMÉTICO E ABERTO
