This video is brought to you by sportlin quality, integrity and tradition, all right, um, we're gon na clean up this rack they're having some temperature problems and uh i'm pretty confident before i go any further with it that it's just the rack, so we're gon na. Do this uh, probably a little different than most people, think you know, i have a peculiar way of doing things very thorough, so i shut down the entire rack power's turned off locked out we're gon na pull all the panels. We're gon na clean from the top down right when the virus started. I had a call, i'm pretty sure i made a video on it and i had to do a temporary electrical repair right here where i pulled the conduit off now, the customer because of the virus they wanted to hold off on repairs, but uh, i'm pretty sure.

I can talk them into it now, so once i get done with this rack, we'll take some pictures and then what i want to do when i'm proposing to them is they? Let me rewire the entire rack i'll, bring the power, probably up here and then run just a single conduit, maybe and then just drops into there is my idea and get all that mx crap out of there so or uh whatever you want to call it flex. Conduit anyway, so we're gon na uh pre-rinse, this condenser get it nice and wet. Then we're gon na just kind of pre-rinse. The bottom try to get some of the big stuff off then we'll apply cleaner and go through all that crap.

As usual, i'm gon na use my uh wand and everybody always asks me. I get it from lowe's. You guys just go. Look it's made by orbit.

This thing has a flat feature. So right now it's on the shower feature, but what i really like is the flat feature or even the angle feature because uh yeah it allows you to get in here. You know and get up way back into there and all i'm doing is rinsing off the big stuff, rinse off the big stuff and then we'll uh put the cleaner on and attack it from the top. This thing's pretty nasty yeah.

Basically, i'm utilizing any chance. So i had a call on a refrigeration unit but uh, i ended up doing electrical repair downstairs, but we got to get this rack cleaned up too. So we're utilizing the opportunity and we're gon na get this cleaned before it becomes a emergency service call on a saturday and ruins my weekend. So all right, we're gon na be using a venom pack from refrigeration technologies.

Um. Something to note this coil gun is different than the other manufacturer's coil gun. That looks the same. I think i've said this before, but this coil gun has a different dilution ratio.

What you're going to find, even if you use this coil gun for other cleaners, you're going to go through a lot less cleaner and you're not going to waste as much, but it's specifically designed for the refrigeration technologies, cleaners. The a setting is the lowest it's going to use the least amount of cleaner, basically and the e setting is going to use the most. So the cool thing about the venom pack - you get nine bottles, or so you know - and it's not gon na - take that much guys. I'm gon na put about that much cleaner in there and i'll show you how much that is.

This will last for that whole rack. This little bit of cleaner will do the entire rack. Now, if i find that it's not coming clean, i can mix the concentration and make it you know, use it faster, but um this stuff is awesome. I really dig this stuff and you know i've got at least another uh cleaning in there.

So really awesome all right. So i'm gon na get this on there. I'm gon na start on the a setting. Do a rinse, let it sit for five minutes and then i'll go further and further and uh if we need to all right so we're just gon na again, i'm on the a setting.

Okay and you can spray it on there. Now this cleaner can foam up. If you want it to when you go to the higher concentration levels, but um right now, i'm just using the least amount of cleaner as possible. We're just going to let it sit for a little bit just getting in the spots that i might have missed.

And then then we'll give it a rinse and then we'll probably do a heavy cleaning, but i like to do this to kind of break anything up. I also like to spray the refrigeration lines. You just got to make sure you rinse it off um, but this isn't the cleaner, that's going to like etch the coil or anything like that. So you're gon na be fine, but you know just kind of spray.

Some of the stuff in the rack get any oils and different things off all right. I give it a quick rinse, it's been sitting, so i'm gon na go ahead and spray. I'm gon na change it to the c setting you're going to see how much it's going to foam. Now it's going to actually foam up a bunch and i'm hopes that it'll uh really get in there and start breaking down some more of the gunk we'll get from the other side too.

Here i highly recommend you guys pick up one of these coil guns. Your local suppliers should be able to pick them up if they have refrigeration technologies products. If not true tech tools use my offer code, big picture, one word and you'll save eight percent on your order. They sell all the refrigeration technologies products, the chemicals, the sanitizers one of the cool things they have right.

Now too, is they came out with hand sanitizer mind? You look at i'm even spraying on the c setting guys and i barely even used any cleaner so but look at yeah it's coming through nice and good, so we're gon na keep going letting it sit on there. I'm probably gon na go ahead and burn the rest of this cleaner on this, and just let it sit for a bit. So something else i was thinking about. I wanted to point out.

You know um. What i'm super stoked about is the price of this. This right here guys is, if i remember right it's about the price of one gallon of normal, cleaner and you get nine bottles, you can. You can choose to use it all at once or you can make it last.

I've been cleaning multiple condensers with that um, and the other thing about this cleaner, too, is that it is not um. It's not going to eat away your skin, it's not going to eat through your boot. It's not like the other cleaners that will, just you know, tear everything up, uh. In fact, if you use this condenser coil cleaner, this is actually their condenser coil cleaner, but you can use it on an evaporator and you don't have to rinse it on an evaporator.

As long as there's condensation it'll self-rinse on a condenser, you still have to rinse it, but we're just letting it sit. Um i'm getting ready to go ahead and hook up the wand and rinse it all out now. So the really cool thing about this wand is that you can really get in there and watch that stuff come out and it's coming out good and it has a rubber tip on it. So it doesn't mess up the condenser as bad.

You still got to be careful, but i did my best to rinse out the inside of the rack too. It's not going to be perfect, there's still going to be dirt in there, but i just rinsed off the compressors real, quick, the side glasses, so we're ready to fire this up. We're going to do a one compressor at a time nice and slow uh, we'll start with system. A i've already got the condenser familiars turned on, but they are controlled via pressure.

So that's the walk-in, free or walk-in cooler compressor. Let it run for a minute. Wait for the fan motors to stage and then uh we'll move our way through turning each one on nice and slow. Basically, we don't want to overload make a massive amount of in-rush current, so we just do it a little bit at a time when you're all finished.

I highly suggest you rinse out your coil gun very well for a couple reasons: it'll make your coil gun last forever, especially if you're using some of the really harsh chemicals from other manufacturers. Also, though you don't want to cross mix chemicals um, you know, so you still have a bunch of chemical left in here and then you put another kind of cleaner in here. You just you're, not a chemist, you know so i go through and rinse. It really good and then spray out all the tubes disassemble it, and then i store this piece and this piece in here after the rack has been running for about 20 minutes.

All the sight glasses are clear, except for this one. This is their system e. I'm not working on system e, but the sight glass is flashing. Now, with the customer's permission, i'm going to go ahead and clear up that site glass.

Now, i'm not going to do a leak check today. Um! That's not ice! That's a calcium buildup on that, but anyways, i'm gon na do a uh just hop off the charge for now and then we'll schedule a time to come back and do a leak check on that system. Uh. I just you know whole big picture thing.

I don't like to walk away from this because again my luck, it'll be a saturday right when i'm sitting down to dinner that i'll get that service call. So we're going to top off the charge for now all right, we're doing much better, now running a clear sight, glass. It looks like it's just the pan chiller that's running, because this one has a base section and a cold top. It looks like it's getting ready to pump down right now too, so we're good.

I'm gon na wrap this one up and then again, i'm gon na talk to the customer about uh doing that electrical repair too. Overall, the rack cleaned up pretty nice. There's a few. A little or still a few little things in there, there are still a few little um dangly things, but it doesn't look bad.

It's clean some of this. It's like this cottonwood crap yeah looks pretty good there's a couple little spots. Some of this is coil damage. Coils actually damaged, probably from cleaners and different things over the years yeah for the most part, the rack's pretty clean, so we're good on this one all right.

This was just a basic cleaning, video, nothing too crazy. So i happened to be there. I kind of expressed this a little bit, but i was there working on a region that happened to have a compressor in that rack, and i knew that the rack was dirty. The problem with the region was an electrical issue, but big picture kind of stuff.

I went ahead and went on to the roof. Looked at the condenser unit noticed it was really dirty, even though the electrical problem was our main issue, i'm still going to be able to walk away from this job and say: hey everything is working properly. That's why i had to clean the rack plus it helps me and saves me a service call next weekend, like i said in the video you know saturday afternoon, when i'm just sitting down to dinner, i like to take care of things when i'm out there, and I don't want to, you know, beat around the bush and wait because i know that one was going to bite me in the butt we're starting to get some heat waves, where it's getting to be about 90. 95 degrees.

You know that first hundred degree day that rack would have went down. We would add multiple things, so anyways took care of it um, nothing too difficult. You know pretty basic. I like to take the rack apart completely, i like to be thorough, use, safe cleaners.

That's the biggest thing um i recently jumped on the bandwagon with the refrigeration technologies cleaners. I've been using their stuff more and more, but i've really gone all in and we're pretty much only using that stuff. Now pretty much at my whole company, and i really do like it because they have safe products. I can't stress that enough, you know and with those venom packs the cool thing is.

I can keep two condenser coil cleaners in each truck and the guys are set they're, not gon na. I mean they're done, you know, they've got plenty of cleaners and you don't have. You know six well for two of them. What would that be? 18 gallons of cleaner, so you know i mean that stuff lasts forever.

You know, and i will tend to run it a little bit. You know higher on the concentration. So if i only get you know six bottles out of that bag, i'm still stoked. It still lasts me a long time and it's awesome, so you guys should definitely check it out.

Um yeah! That's pretty much! It guys not really a whole lot going on in this video uh, just some basic stuff, so i really appreciate you guys taking the time to watch these, remember that i do live streams monday evening, 5 p.m. Pacific time on youtube, where i usually go over answer questions and that you know sort of stuff and uh stay tuned, because very very soon, i'm still working on the website. But i will have a website up and you'll be able to pick up some of that. Merch back there we have hats and shirts and all sorts of stuff, so that'll be available very very soon.

All right really appreciate you guys and we will catch you on the next one. Okay.
