So let me ask you. I'm working on an R290 system. You guys working on those yet? Does it scare you? Are you afraid of it? I Can tell you that it's really not a big deal as long as you follow proper practices. Purge With nitrogen and be careful, it's really not a big deal.

So I'm currently hurrying up and, uh, waiting on this one right now because the vacuum's running, so that's it.

    What is the psig on the r290 Freon work

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Allison says:

    It doesn't bother me that it's highly flammable, it bothers me that I have to pierce the lines to get pressures. Just inconvenient.

    I I've been watching your videos for a while. I feel like it's one of those things like having a gun in the house as a kid. You know that it's dangerous, and respect it enough to not mess with it like it's harmless

    Afraid?
    It's just a machine Service area Ottawa??

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Kovacs says:

    If your scared of 5 grams of propane find another job. I just had a coworker arc out a 570 volt battery string with a wrench, he got away with "only" second degree burns. There are dangerous jobs out there, more dangerous than yours.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carl K says:

    I don't know why people freak out over it. We pump natural gas into buildings and burn it. We use gasoline in vehicles. I've seen 480 short phase to phase. That scares me more than a few ounces of propane.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Foller says:

    6 or 10 cfm pump?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FirstKnocked says:

    As you said. Not a big deal if you follow proper practices and be careful.

    Do you notice that r290 takes a while to evacuate? A lot of the units I work one take way longer than other systems.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Debbie Bernhardt says:

    Propane is used instead of nonflammable or non conductive refrigerant.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zach Miller says:

    It comes in those tiny cans?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christopher Merritt says:

    The solenoid valves who are they by the magnets that you got on there

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars IIGrayfoxII says:

    Similar to R-1234yf in cars.
    Follow proper precautions and use your head, nothing to fear.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bryan Sanders says:

    I was the first one in my shop to do an R290 compressor change out. Like the fact of venting to atmosphere. Just keep the nitrogen purge going while brazing and itโ€™s all good.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brett Jones says:

    Nope I just purge burn it off outside…lol jk but not scared

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kyler Crain says:

    I could see an issue if someone didnt know what they were doing and there was a pilot light somewhere close by

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steffen Wogan says:

    That seems to be the first expansion valve R290 system I've seen. I work on them on a weekly basis, and so far, all of them has been capillary systems.

    Not even the DEVIL LUCIFER AND HIS HIDEOUS BEASTS OF HELL SCARE ME

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars VRod Outdoors says:

    They are not too bad all of our new reach jn cooler/freezer are r290 Are you in Kanata ?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pro Answers says:

    What brand refrigerant scale is that in your video?

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Ljuba says:

    just started servicing them recently – if i can i bring them back to my shop and work on them there – safer to vent and i donโ€™t have cooks stepping over me all day

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AKStorm49 says:

    I'll be doing my first one tomorrow. Been out of town for most. Hopefully won't be posting crispy photos tomorrow. Service area Orleans??

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sharky55 says:

    Iโ€™m in Ohio

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sharky55 says:

    Havenโ€™t seen any yet

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LazyLife IFreak says:

    There's no oxygen inside the pipework so it can't explode, worst case scenario is a rather violent jet of flame, kill it with a fire extinguisher.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan Aguas says:

    Easy money Chris!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ian says:

    Work on em, not scared at all, it's like any other refrigerant, cept having to remove the access after every job.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BILL Johnson says:

    At least it's not AMMONIA

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Henderson says:

    For those who are in the know R290 is propane gas and R600a is butane gas.
    I do not ever see either ever being used in cars. I seen a demo of what a R290 leak could do if it happen in side a car. Not good at all.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Cirigo says:

    I knew it!! I did a R290 class from rsd. But the person giving the class was a salesman not a tech. He said r290 you must use special recovery machine and vacuum pump for r290. I see your using a fieldpiece vacuum pump, that tells me right there I'm good to use a regular vacuum pump Service area Nepean??

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jared Jeanotte says:

    Iโ€™ve been working on these for a while. It gets me a lot of business honestly because the handyman guy canโ€™t do it because heโ€™s scared and they get my number somehow. Bang new customer. Are you in Barrhaven ?

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Oliver says:

    Its not its easy Are you in Nepean ?

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Minecraft A/C Man says:

    How do you like the JB scale?
