      Truly awesome job. The way you made that all cooler it is better than the one that came from the factory. That cooler will evaporate the water much faster. There are units that were did back in the 80s without nitrogen and they are still running without any problem. Also the copper was better grade back then also.

    On the 3/8" tubing, the instructions say to do 1/2 the expansion, release, turn the swage tool 90° and complete the swage.
    If you look at the expansion parts you see that this is to put a more even pressure on the entire tube.
    The heating method is a good idea, too!!

    • @HVACRSurvival
      @HVACRSurvival  Рік тому +1

      I actually will rotate it three different times when I do it that way, but it doesn't always work very well. Usually I'll have to add braze rod to the outside of the socket as a precautionary.

    Great work Rick. Had to make a small condensate loop on a True double door glass front merchandiser a few weeks ago. It was actually easier then I thought it would. Luckily had just enough tubing to make it work. It was on an r 290 setup so I had to make sure it was exactly the same because of the system being critically charged.

    Thanks

    • @Holop88
      @Holop88 Рік тому +1

      Easier to make a new loop. By the time you located the exact leak spot and clean it really nice and bend it out of the way to braze it might as well make a new one and braze it up top.

      Right now we don't work on ammonia, we sent one person to work on it but that's about the only thing we don't work on. You got a remember where I'm located at, I'm in the middle of nowhere in Ohio. We have over 100 employees doing residential commercial and industrial, service, installation, and sales, we also do controls welding and design. We got to keep people working so we do a little everything. That's how we became so large. And what a lot of people don't realize is we actually are a lot cheaper than what other companies would charge in larger cities. But yet were paid as good or better than the large city company's. We have employees that have been here 40 years. We know our customers by name so reputations pretty important.

      I believe they both have Mars part numbers. I'll have to look tomorrow if they still have a tag on them. The stainless steel brushes come three in a pack. I've been using those probably the last 15 plus years if not 20. The orange thing is the same as the blue and until I started doing refrigeration they weren't very useful because they mainly work really good for brushing off condenser coils whereas in residential we always had water available
