Recovering Refrigerant with the Compressor While the Unit is Running, Adjusting the Charge!

In This HVACR Training Video, I show How to Recover Refrigerant from an Overcharged Air Conditioner Outdoor Unit while the unit is Running by Using the Compressor. This method should not be used to Recover Large Amounts of Refrigerant from a System due to the Accidental Removal of Compressor Oil. In the case of Recovering a Total Charge, use a Recovery Machine while the System is Off to Reduce Oil Loss from the System. I show how to Read the Gauges to Measure the High Subcooling and I show how to Recover the Refrigerant Level to the Correct Amount. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while doing this as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety. Make sure that you are EPA 608 certified before handling refrigerants!

  • @DM-jf3lg
    Wow! Great video. I actually learned something new today. I’ve been doing this type of work for over 15 years and never knew you could recover a small amount of refrigerant this way. I’ve always pulled out the recovery machine. Thanks for the video.
  • @rogerf3622
    Another great video. I should also mention here that I purchased several copies of your outstanding book. I am totally impressed! It is extremely well written with outstanding graphics and larger print my old eyes can easily read, and the spiral binder is an excellent addition. Your book is so much better than many other AC text books. I would highly recommend this book for anyone learning the HVAC trade or studying for their EPA certification and for others who need a quick refresher on standard AC procedures.
  • Craig finally got to read the ac book it is great. Easy to follow and very useful I’ve been in the business for 17 years and have never found a book as good. Highly recommend it. Thank you
  • these videos are great...been fixing air conditioners for years on the electrical side and just passed my 608 universal......i know the basics of the refrigeration side but i still have alot to learn.
  • @DVGuy2
    Hey Craig, I recently purchased your Paper book, I briefly wanna say Man your book is what every Teac new and experienced need in their Truck everyday! The Photos your skilled hands on direction as well as the text size is what you need in the field. Your Book is better than my School text Book...I just wish I could've gotten it autograph by you Sir! Thanks again!
  • I just hoping that you continue post more videos, you are a excellent teacher, thanks for those videos, valuable videos. As always have a good one.
  • Thank you so much this video helped so much. I am current HVAC student and this video is perfect. I will now ace my final
  • This is excellent, not only a good way to show your customers you know what you're doing, but they are getting overcharged (literally) by the competition and paying more than they need to due to inexperienced techs. Where I live, most companies charge 40.00 - 60.00 per lb of refrigerant. I would subtract the cost of the refrigerant I recovered from their system when I write the bill for service.
  • @JL-ss3ux
    Exactly what I needed. Great series.
  • @joshflynn9388
    Really enjoy the videos, great reinforcement for your book.
  • Great video. I calculated my target superheat to be 24F which seems high to me. WB in = 71, DB in = 80, outside = 85. It's a piston R410A system. SH is currently at 10F, and not cooling that well. Thanks!
