One of the last times I worked on a YVAA i was able to pump 220 lbs in less than an hour by just letting the compressor do all the work. I hooked up to the liquid line and let the circuit run until it went off on low pressure. Was able to recover the entire charge (270lbs) in less than 5 hours.
Does it add that much cost to just replace known failure points (EEVs, sensors) while the unit is being repaired. Is it something customers will not go for because of the increased cost. It had to cost a few thousand to remove refrigerant and replace the valve.
NAVAC four-cylinder I tested it with R410 I placed the NAVAC unit in front of a hot Condenser 115°F plus air and a recovery cylinder in the hot air flow intentionally and it still had no problem recovering refrigerant and filled the cylinder like it didn’t even know it was in 100° + heat
They have the same issues the rest of them do. Just comes down to age and stress. I have a lot of York chillers so it looks like a lot of failures on my channel.
@@richardbartlett6932 what an interesting comment...why do so many HVAC techs feel the need to give their resumes? I'm sure your time of service is relevant somewhere, I guess. Thanks for the comment
@@rthompson968 I too have never heard this in 22 years in the trade and can tell you it's not true with any of the 30 plus different equipment brands I work with. And yes a techs years in the trade is relevant with just about any topic you wanna bring up. So bring it
Brooo, i be trollllin mfers with my color choice all the time. I purposely set up my manifolds each with either all red all blue or all yellow. As long as i have a ball valve on the high side, im happy.

Keep learning bro, you can be a great tech someday if you want it enough. If you're not willing to use up a good portion of your free time to learn it, then you will just remain an ok tech. Good luck
finally an hvac channel that does some real commercial stuff. good stuff!
I love it

Ive tried telling my guys for years, wires and hoses don't know WHAT COLOR THEY ARE! But it does help guys in the beginning.
just started my second year working on chillers and boy do I wish I found your channel last yeah haha

Great stuff man, Always. Thank you
You know your stuff!
Do you have a video about refrigerant free cooling pumps?
Sweet recovery 🤤
That’s 😂 that’s the right attitude 👍🏼
Looks like a stepper regulator valve that failed, replaced one of those before on some older heatcraft unit.. could be wrong though.
Whats a feed valve?

Haven't worked on many York chillers. They seem to be problematic. Where I'm from most Trane, carrier or AAON

Did a recovery this week , took me 3 hours to recover 40 kg / 88 lbs of 134a.
Let me just release a giant sigh ........
A lot of manufacturers won't warranty motors, if you don't replace the blades too
never once heard or was told that in 40 years in the trade 🤔

👍
I have a tip for recovery buy bag Ice 🤫
Sure it works but is an extremely inefficient way to do it especially when dealing with large tanks.

CODE MEN YORK😑
Great job tho man
This is my next move chillers I'm an ok tech at commercial hvac but industrial hvac is nice and really want . But I do lack on refrigerant knowledge

@Bryan Swanson thanks man I appreciate the advice.
