R-410A Refrigerant Charge Measurement Examples on Air Conditioners! Total Superheat Method Practice!

Published 2023-06-03
In this HVAC Training Video, I Explain How to Measure the R-410A Refrigerant Charge Level on Systems with a Fixed Orifice Metering Device (Piston or Cap Tubing) to Determine if it is Low on Refrigerant, Correctly Charged, or Overcharged with Refrigerant. I Give the Whole Walkthrough in One Example and Then I Give 3 More Practice Problems for You to Determine the Correct Answers! Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

    As always I like to watch your videos no matter of how busy or tired I am.Thanks for sharing.
  • @briancarlisi2224
    Thanks for showing all 3 screens when giving us time to figure the answer. Using smart gauges makes me forget how to derive the correct answer so I really enjoyed this one! Thank you
  • @sotos422
    I want to thank you for what I have learned from your videos, I have bought one of your books and I will order the next one as well.. everything is fine, thank you
  • @bernardolucero1307
    Almost done with hvac school, and my instructor recommended this channel, thanks from san diego
  • @craighansen7594
    Been watching your videos for some time. They are really informative. I am going to order that manual and chart set you offer. Videos are great but print is better!
  • @Sparky18059
    Damn I Love Your Videos. Thanks In Advance!
  • @whitneyowen8551
    Thanks for the video Craig! I have a surge question. Is it better to use a voltage monitor like KoolGuard2 or just surge like ICM 495 on a minisplit? Basically is it better for the components to run in occasional undervoltage or cutting power during operation at those times?
  • @davidnunez7889
    Awesome video Craig it’s crazy how much more I have learned on your channel than school. Thank you keep up the great work
  • @honolulu1476
    Somebody told me: you need to check refrigerant level every year because if level is too low compressor might burn out. Is it correct ? Thanks
  • @zekenzy6486
    Great Video. I'm learning Refrigeration and I want to become Refrigeration Technician ? Which book Refrigeration you can recommend for me ? I'm new to HVAC-R ? Thank you for your help.
  • @k.sullivan6303
    Most residential systems I work on these days have TXVs or EEVs. Is the industry going back to pistons and cap tubes?
  • @user-pn4qr4ze2e
    Good day sir..i just want to ask how about in multi system unit? Example 5 unit with 2hp indoor capacity with EEV.. how to get the super heat and subcool? Thank you so much
  • @dexal8368
    Do we use the same chart for target superheat for everything? Or is it specific to each refrigerant, or specific to each unit?
  • @JoseRamos-me4wq
    Hello Craig, i have a question i went to service this system that had a high pressure of 578 psi in the high side and on the low side 164 psi 43 of superheat and 3 of subcooling it had a piston honestly i couldn't figure out what was wrong because it was not cooling at all
  • Since Mexican HVAC techs in Mexico do not evacuate, is it safe to assume the refrigerant is contaminated? I've been told that they don't reclaim and I know they don't evacuate...they just let some refrigerant out to purge. I've watched reclaim videos but it's useless if it's contaminated right?
