Heat Pump Component Tour (In 3D)

This video is a Heat Pump Component Tour in 3D. We cover all of the components that are common to a heat pump air conditioning system as well as some of the basics of how they operate and what they look like. This is a great intro to heat pumps for a new student or apprentice to get a sense of all the components and where they are located Including

Compressor
Discharge Line
Condenser
Liquid Line
Metering Device / TXV / Piston
Evaporator
Suction Line
Reversing Valve
Accumulator
Liquid Line Filter Drier
Suction Line Service Valve
Liquid Line Service Valve
Schrader Core
Suction line filter drier (not shown)
Transformer
5A Fuse
Thermostat wires / control wires
Safeties (Low pressure, High Pressure, Condensate overflow switch)
Thermostat
Blower Board
Defrost Board
Contactor
Sequencer or heat relay
Condenser Fan
Blower Motor
Heat Strips

If it weren't for prompters, how many edits are added to the final cut..wow.👌👌
Thanks Brian and the others at HVAC/R School who make these educating videos possible. Please continue to bring us more videos like important protection for service technician and precautionary steps during service of a suspected burn out., and proper steps to clean the system, what parts should be replaced etc, and get it running again.

I’ve already went through HVAC trade school, graduated with flying colors, got my universal 608, been working in the field for about 3 months now, and I’m still watching these videos. I guess I’m fully dedicated to this magnificent trade. But man do I wish I discovered HVAC when I was younger. Better late than never!

Female homeowner here and thanks to you I know so much more about my heat pump and it's operation. I can now have an intelligent conversation with the HVAC guy when my system is not functioning properly.

[tomfromtacomas]

Thank you very much a very thorough explanation of all the system components. As a homeowner and one who installed their own system, it is great to know what all the functions are on my system..

[angieholt]

Awesome video. Thinking about getting a heat pump but didn't really understand it all until this video. Thanks so much!

[randynewman]

these visuals and animations are god-tier. over the top quality stuff

Best heat pump video of all time. One of the most well made videos on YouTube period.

[BillC-]

Honestly, one of the best videos out there for not just describing the Heat Pump but showing how it works.

My AC is great again thanks to you. I did a compressor replacement not from a burnout but rather from age 20 years old and a very high electric bill. I learned about compressor oil is hygroscopic along with the correct compressor replacement voulme. I replaced and moved the clogged dirty rusted dyer line filter to the air handler in the attic. The filer by default was outside at the compressor Goodman. Well that didn't seem correct even though the manufacturer had it outside when ever video said put it at the airhandler. Well now I know why it looked like it came from the bottom of the ocean. I even put in a sight glass with values correctly oriented in the proper direction on both side. Yeah, I burnt two sight glasses but I learned how to do it correctly without the black dot of death inside. You know you guys have done this also :) Now it's roasting hot and one year later it's working great.I even filtered out all the fires from canada using my airhandler. You literally saved me big bucks and no leaks. I know you ac guys are going to hate but with the right skill set you can do it (Rob Schneider aka Duce) thanks to this channel.

Brian and the HVAC School knocked this out of the park, as they always do! Thank you for your dedication and service to the industry!

Schools everywhere should be using these. Great work mr Orr

[jameskennett]

This video is GOLD! Being a new HVAC tech this 3d model is amazing to actually see the inside working components operate and flow. Thank you for this video!

[josecerna]

Thanks God there’s people like you,
I just pray so you keep on helping how need you every single day, like me .
Thanks again Bryan👍🏻🙏🏼

This video is simply superb. As far as educational content is concerned, this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for your work!

[dennisdeltoro]

This is the type of education I wish I had back in Trade School over 10 years ago. Great video!

[petersamios]

Very good presentation. I especially appreciated your comment on refrigerants boiling cold - that was what I was missing.

For your state change (liquid to vapor) you may give the example of 212 degree water going to 212 degree absorbing 970 btus/pound of water, not the normal 1 per degree change between lets say 211 and 212 degrees.

2ndly, it helped me to think of the AC/cooling portion is sucking the warm/hot air over the coils so that the heat can be removed and the resulting cool air being expelled into the room. Many folks look at this as blowing air over the coils and can get confused.

As others have stated, this is a wonderful preseentation - thanks again.

Cruised through hvac school, got my epa universal, landed a sweet career as an apprentice and already a month in. I’m loving this field so glad I got into this. Knowledge just never stops, so rewarding to understand what you are saying! 💪🏽👨🏻‍🔧

[peagolfer]

Thanks Brian this video is a great tool for H.O.'s to explain operation in place of lengthy on site representation. I am retired from the HVAC industry as an owner/ service tech. I also live in central Florida. Wouldn't mind checking out your operation some time.

[MM-mquj]

Very nice and simple explanation! thank you!

Very much appreciated, you actually relay the information far better than my Tech School teacher ever did.
