I wish you be my teacher ..I love the way you teach ..
Thank you for all your videos .all I know about AC I learned with you and not with my teacher at school..
Thank you so much..
GOD BLESS YOU ..

100%. This is the best, most complete video you've done. I can't thank you enough for all the help. Great job!

By the time you finished that extravagant setup and explanation, I'm done. Never removed cores and it's plenty fast for 5T and under or 15 lbs of refrigerant. If you are changing out a system, lay a wet towel on top of the recovery tank, put a fan on it to keep it cool and start disconnecting electrical, pulling blowers/heats out of air handler, unhook duct work.

this guy sounds like kermit the frog lol and that is amazing

The rise of pressure is usually caused by refrigerant trapped in the oil.

Always the best to come back to for refreshers

[chadrayl]

What’s the 3way pc called that the filter dryer is attached too?

[marcelosmerkin]

Your videos very instructive. Greetings from Argentina!

[sunilraju]

explaining like this is good. Starting from Scratch

Just purchased 3 of the Appion valve core removal tools. Great quality compared to the Robinair ones I purchased a couple years ago.

You kick butt, Craig! Time to buy one of those books :)

[john.french]

Top notch video! Always appreciate your insight. Thanks again!

I use a refrigerant analyzer on all my R 22 systems. Here in San Francisco we have a lot of people who come from countries who do not care about EPA and cross contaminating refrigerant and just dropping one refrigerant on top of another refrigerant especially those so-called blend drop in refrigerant.

And the drop in refrigerant when you try to use the PT chart will show up as R22

Because the inside coil and all the refrigerant lines are at one temperature and your outdoor condenser is at a different temperature so there’s absolutely no way to get an accurate pressure reading.

It’s just speculation and guessing that it is R22 or a blend or a contaminated mixture of the both

I have always owned refrigerant analyzers since 1993 and they were very expensive at the time back then but I still felt it was more than worth it. Because while everybody else was doing misdiagnosis when systems had air contamination (noncondensibles)

I would diagnose it correctly 100% of the time whether the refrigerant was clean and pure or not because I had a refrigerant analyzer.

Do it once do do it right.

And a lot of reuse refrigerant tanks and sometimes brand new refrigerant thanks leak at the valve packing at the stems of the knobs when you try to pull deep vacuum the technician can pull air in. But NYLOG fixes this problem

I find that pulling through my manifold with no shraders works well enough for me. (As long as all gaskets are good)

[bbascyber]

At 5:45 you mention regarding the refrigerant transfer you mention "unless it's from the same owner". You mean vendor in regards to refrigerant/oil content or system owner in regards to legislation or rules prohibiting refrigerant (freon maybe) transfers. Great content!

[victordemoya]

Excellent video, very well explained, I have a cuestión: I missing the part that you said that the hose have to be connected to the tank liquid valve port, I think there’s not color codes for the liquid side valves or knobs. Thank again for this great Video

[michaelstaley]

Great video Craig. A nice simple setup for recovering R22.
