HVAC 124 Recovery Tank part 2 do not overfill

TW WC and using an app to ensure we don't overfill a recovery tank.
Refrigerants have different volumes and weights and we demonstrate how that plays out with recovery tanks.

More resources on recovery tanks.

Thank you for this video! I am learning something new everyone I am watching. Great explanation, easy to follow. Your students are lucky to have a teacher like you!

Ty, you are a fantastic educator!! Thanks for all you do.

Great video with clear explanation and a topic that you don't hear a lot about but that is really important. Thank you.

Ty, where is the promised video on the long form way of calculating max weight without the app? Mentioned at the very end, but it wasn't covered in the next video.

Do you always put the same kind of refrigerant into the tank, or can you mix them as long as you keep track?

[eddiegomez]

When do you know to change the max temperature on the App? Over here the hottest it gets is like 110 degrees F.

[samersarah]

If you live in weather above 120f do you still go with 80 percent or go to 70? Thank you Mr. Ty.🌷

I just purchased a new recovery tank. I hear a rattle sound like something is inside.
Can i open/remove a valve to inspect it?
I received it. Had a gas/nitrogen charge.
I vacuumed it to 340 microns.
It was stamped 6 months ago as hydrostatically tested.

Cant find anything on google, youtube or in my EPA608/609 documents to explain what that could be.

Rust flakes in a new tank???
Help, please....

hi. great video. regarding that app.when manualy input r410a density (67.66) it will come with different total weight as if leaving default value for 410a. i was trying to adjust calculator for r32, but im not sure what i do wrong

[wiley]

I was told not to fill past 80%.
I was taught :
Take the WC and multiply 0.8x ( the WC) and then add that to the TW (tare weight) as a maximum weight to fill the take too.

That would be (.08) being 80%.

Based on your calculations you may be able to have that as a max weight, but not the 80% recommended maximum fill level recommended.
Explain....

Love2HVAC with Ty Branaman you really need to spend more time editing your videos and not rush to get them out. Another thing, how do you not know how to spell refrigerant after all these years in the business and seeing the word so often?

I think every guy sit experience once the overpressurized blow off valve popping off inside his vehicle while he’s driving down the freeway has a good training learning experience.
No need to get excited once the blow off valve is spewing out refrigerant inside your vehicle you’re safe to know that it’s doing it’s purpose relieving pressure so it will not explode just a little loud and foggy inside your vehicle slowly and calmly roll down all your windows and drive to the nearest safest place in no big hurry to pull over and relieve a little pressure out of the low side valve until the pop off valve closes up again and you’re good to go no big deal
