    Too much elementary but you made it too much complicated

    You make it so simple. I've heard it over and over in school but you make it so logical and practical. Thank you!

    hi, hi, hi, r410a system ( with fixed orifice) with equalized pressures of around 200psig. But once compressor starts the low side drops to 50 psig while the high side goes up to 300psig. I checked superheat was like 80F and subcooling was 2F. Does this mean the system has leaked out all the refrigerant? Does the 200psig equalized pressures means there's refrigerant in the system? thank you.

    Very good Video. Thanks you

    I was hoping to find an answer for the problem I have
    High amps, low superheat (it freezes the return pipe by sections till the compressor) low suction pressure

    Would measure in your dew point of the air just bust out your slings accrometer hahaha

    Hey Brian. First of all, thanks for putting out your content. I really enjoy relearning/recapping the fundamentals, you really canโ€™t go over them enough I believe. In order to be able to follow along with the material, I think a really valuable video to make would be on the make up of the U.S power distribution system. I hear you guys talk about 208V three phase, 120V single phase as well as 230V. In Australia our low voltage system is 50V – 1000V AC RMS and 120V – 1500V DC ripple free . I sometimes get confused when looking at some of your schematics, particularly single phase motor start circuits where I see L1 and L2 when I would normally expect to see what we call active and neutral. I know I am not the only Aussie that would benefit from this, many thanks in advance and keep up the great work ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Are you in Ottawa ?

    Can you explain to recognize these with a nist test.

    Tremendously powerful tool. So glad I saw this video and downloaded the app.
    Thanks a 'boatload'!

    Well you can't say the density of information was low on this one. Dang! Consumers such as myself should watch this just so they can appreciate just a bit of what an HVAC tech has to understand to get them up and running. Human nature dictates that every time we learn a new bit of information about something we think we know it all until the next one comes along. And the cycle repeats forever. Awesome delivery.

    Thanks Brian. Always enlightening.
