i have did this test with pag oil and water. its even longer to get it out and i have watched it freeze in that scenario. then i had to heat it to get it to work. it let me see what we cant see in the system.
After I have done a lot of homework, which is surprising that all my questions are about the iManifold but none of my answers came from their site or from them. I found out that the bluvac pro+ will connect with the iManifold system via Bluetooth. I'm sure i'm not the only one that watches these videos at 10:30 at night and think "That's awesome how accurate it shows my vacuum pull, but what all do I have to own in the setup to get these same results?". Then when I look in the video description I find exactly what I saw, but nothing telling me that "Hey, the BlueVac Professional Plus, is actually connected via Bluetooth to the manifold and it is giving us this awesome reading!". I thought the bluvac was just on there to give us a comparison, you know to show us accuracy of the iManifold is. So now it is well after 11:30 and I still have to go to work in the morning. SO can you put a little more info in your descriptions that actually tell us what you did to achieve what it is you are demonstrating in your videos. All that aside I still really find your videos enlightening.
Have you ever used a cold trap installed between the vacuum pump and a really wet system? I saw a video about a year ago that showed a long underground water logged line set being evacuated and they must have changed the oil a dozen times over a two day period.
Great video! But now you leave me with a whole slue of questions about the iManifold system. 1) What are you using to read the vacuum on the iPad? 2) If you are not using the iManifold itself just a prob can you read vacuum in microns if you pulled vacuum using the iManifold through the vacuum port on the manifold?
Using any manifold system to check micron pull down is not really recommended. You need a good micron gauge. Otherwise you're pulling vacuum through high and low side hoses and most aren't vacuum rated.
@@jimbergmann3499 Awesome information! Do you suppose you could use that time frame and the the one TeeSpoon of water to calculate exactly how much moisture comes out of an AC system? There's probably a lot of variables in there like ambient temp, size of system, humidity, strength of vacuum pump etc. If you can draw all of the moisture out of a system and lets say it had a bad filter dryer that can no longer absorb moisture. The system will not work correctly until its changed but where does the moisture come from if you vacuumed it all out? Another question... what gas is present inside a line that has been vacuumed down? Thanks for your videos!
really puts moisture removal in perspective. imagine a line full of water compared to a teaspoon. good video

Great video on moisture and it's effects on the page oil. Now I understand what moisture in a system can do

Great Video Jim, to see the moisture boiling out. Most systems you can't see that happening. I wish we could lol.
Wow, What an awesome video. Now I completely get it. Thank you !
I believe iManifold is coming out with a micron gauge in the next month or so is what my rep told me today.
Yes Accutools Bluvac Professional +. In October. Will be a bluetooth connection to pull into iManifold or use as a standalone gauge.
Sir please your what up number
Amazing video. Thank you for posting this. Very educational and how you did it makes it easy to understand.
muito bom esse vídeo, parabéns!!!
Nice demo. Would love to see how contaminated that vacuum pump oil is
I would add to the troubleshooter if refrigerant is off gassing or if it is a new system that service valves may be leaking through.
Can you get moisture out of refrigerant oil?
Can you show the full set up of this process? Or the diagram how to set up this?
What about using refrigerator pao 68 oil in vaccum pimp. This oil is not hygroscopic so should reduce oil getting bad problems
Have you ever used a cold trap installed between the vacuum pump and a really wet system? I saw a video about a year ago that showed a long underground water logged line set being evacuated and they must have changed the oil a dozen times over a two day period.
I have, and that is a great way to trap the water before it gets into the pump.
Can you tell me what is name of this Machine please?

also vacuum numbers are different its where u put it, but not on manifold. you put it on the furthest side of a system.
Whats the purpose of the tank in your demonstration.
It was just a buffer so the water did not flash freeze due to a small volume.
thank u for this method us now going to be applicable because is easiest to use an not take much time to wait
I'd like to have seen the empty site glass at the end.
How long exactly did it take to remove the water?
90 minutes to remove the water.

Thanks for your videos!
and that was just evacuating water, if he had added pag or poe it takes way longer
How would you determine that moisture is present in a running system with gauges only?
You cannot, you need a micron gauge. There is no way to tell if it is a leak or moisture without one.
Jim Bergmann Thanks Ill get one soon.
1 teaspoon ~ 30cf !!?? its around 1m3 ? wow u are u sure?
I want remove juggy powder moisture
No need to throw the old oil away, if it sits in a clear container long enough water will go to the bottom.
Lol I jumped the gun.
Pump sounds choked…
