Nothing too crazy about this one, the walk in cooler had a leak.

Thank U for this video, love your confidence
I have to say I am thankful that these videos came out of nowhere for me. After about a month or so of watching through these videos nonstop, I now have a big desire to work as a HVAC-R technician and also learned how I can be a better person.
Thank you Chris for allowing these videos to be public even if they were originally meant for your employees. You've inspired me greatly haha
Everybody makes mistakes no harm done
I was just going to joke that he used a voice double at the worksites (because we typically wouldn't see him on camera). There goes that one, I guess 😜
Thanks for doing what you do and sharing some of it with the rest of us!
The older Appion had a strainer on the inlet, I just bought a G5 this year and it has a strainer on both inlet and outlet.
WOW, Chris. The 1st time I've ever heard you said "silver solder" Which is finally correct the term
. Have you ever actually done "brazing" with an actual brass brazing rod.
“Stop spending all my silver” 😂
being devil's advocate how do you know the refrigerant has not become acidic? Just asking
I've heard that when nitrogen tanks when are not depleted fully before charging something else with it it will cause it to sometimes condense moisture inside happens at manufacturing
Was this a brand new recovery tank? so it was not charged with nitrogen and you did not pull a vacuum ? also used tanks.
The POV coaching while brazing was a good vid spot.
I’m a service manager where I work and I send my guys these videos! Great stuff man! I appreciate what you do and I can relate to all of it. We also do a lot of restaurants and that is an interesting aspect to HVAC/R. Not to mention funeral homes, we do a lot of the refrigeration for funeral homes where I live, and to be sure, we work around dead bodies in a cooler. Love this trade and love this channel! Keep up the great work! Are you in Ottawa ?
There's a strainer that can be changed on the fieldpiece and appion. Are you in Kanata ?
What about the compressor frosting up next to that one?
I get my recovery tanks through rsd and this has happened to me one time on a 125 pound tank. Usually if I have to evacuate a small tank I don't need an oil change
At how many lbs did it clear ? Are you in Nepean ?
Been doing HVAC/R for 16 years and counting. I've watched every video for the past few years. Always informative and I get a good laugh when you run into a problem I've run into before.
Another solid video Chris, I appreciate your work.
I’m curious your thoughts. Since the system had a leak with a zeotropic refrigerant in R404A, the existing refrigerant could have been deemed as fractionated and not reusable?
Wet rag wrapped around valve, or cooling it immediately after brazing is recommended. As well as angling the flame away from valve more. Still looked like a great repair though, and brazing was done quickly enough it shouldn't have damaged the internal packing nut gasket. Crazy to have that much moisture in a recovery tank!
Automotive touch up paint is amazing for little spots with high quality paint, most have a nail polish style brush inside
You are right….we all make mistakes….its part of life and can't be avoided…its what makes us perfectly imperfect
Here we get recovery cylinders which are for filling with refrigerant to be sent back for recycling or destruction which will likely be dirty cylinders, and receiver cylinders which are supplied clean and are designed to hold refrigerant while a repair is made and then sent back empty.
o no she done sprung a leak LOL
The apprentice did a really good job brazing 👍👍
Wet rag valve?
Have you tried the Harris blue stick or orange stick? Way easier. Dont need flux. The flux us already on the rod. Blue is 45 orange is 56 Are you in Barrhaven ?
Keep your flame away from the vale
The Fieldpiece recovery machine does have an inlet screen. Mine came with a couple spares zip-tied to the inlet when it was new.
The apprentice doesn’t rate a solding jam just yet, but they did a good job. 😂 Keep up the great work!
yes chris it helps if you open the valve rookie mistake been there done that
“That’s plenty of silver solder!!”
You sound like the guy who pays the bills. That stuff ain’t cheap.
The reason why your making mistakes is your mind is not focused on what your doing, your focused on making a video I wonder what your customers would think if they knew
Chris I have a question!What do you think if companies starting making refrigeration units that have a variable speed compressor just like some new mini split air conditioners!like based on the temps the compressor would speed up or slow down!By your opinion do you think it could be a good idea to go with this tech and would it be a good way for power savings?
Answer it when you have the time and I hope you understand what I meant with the mini split part!
Thank you
Hey Chris what office chair is that?
Did that recovery tank come from Florida? Service area Ottawa??
Nice job, as usual, it's funny what you catch when editing even when you don't notice real time.
Go kansas city chiefs
I'm so glad that I'm getting out of resi retro and into doing commercial HVAC and refrigeration. These videos have been very helpful in giving me a bit of an education so that I don't go into my new job fully blind. Service area Nepean??
91 Thumbs uP
Good video. One question though. Why do you not use a nitrogen purge when brazing? Just curiosity, not criticism. Service area Orleans??
Great job Chris
Here first love the videos
Hello i am the first one here and i enjoy your videos
