Bacharach informant 2

[Cornbinder89]

I tend to agree, but GM doesn't. I notice it is insulated but it is still on the low pressure side of things.
Having said that, I don't think much...

OK, pull the compressor (unless you have real good access) and replace the control valve in it. Not expensive as a new compressor and that should resolve...

Used it today to clear up 3 small leaks, that were too small to find with bubble check. I am thrilled with it. If it does as well on refrigerant it was...

[Cornbinder89]

Bought a lightly used Bacharach unit. Came with spare sensors. So far I am happy. Found a propane leak that neither smell nor bubble test revealed, That's...

Tom, the way I read the TSB is high side should be greater than 130 with A/C called for. I think they are just looking for the compressor to be turning,...

Great stuff thanks. You were typing while I was typing.

Did you fix were it leaked? If there was only 4 oz to start, then there was a leak somewhere to begin with.
These new variable displacement systems...

[Cornbinder89]

Ok, doing a quick internet search, it doesn't a clutch and is a variable displacement compressor.
You may already have fried the control valve...

[Cornbinder89]

Without doing any delving into what it has, DVE in the compressor model is likely a variable displacement compressor V for variable?
We often see...

The stuff is called CSST for short. It is the new quick thing for running gas, Like the difference in PEX vs. Copper was for water.
Nothing wrong...

Out here in farm country things are pretty loose, Farmers are exempt of many of the rules around wiring and stuff.
In my case, My work is the...

[Cornbinder89]

We really need pressure and temp readings to make an assessment of the refrigerant side of things.
The electrical side of things is going to be...

[Cornbinder89]

The seals that are metal or ceramic are what is called "face seals" like a waterpump uses. There are two halves of the seal and each is stationary...

[Cornbinder89]

Well, I think I found a deal on a used one. Comes with spare sensors, and all original paperwork and a money back if it doesn't work. I was very hesitant...

[Cornbinder89]

Knowledge base button at the top of this page recommends a "heated diode" tester, which the Bacharach is for Halogen refrigerants, If yours...

[Cornbinder89]

Also check for clogged evaporator drain. cool air acting in high humidity air causes fog. Where is the moisture coming from? Moisture get wrung from...

[Cornbinder89]

Most all sniffers are NOT rated to pick up flammable gas at low concentrations. From what you say they will react to it in higher amounts. The sniffer...

[Cornbinder89]

I had noticed the change, and the move of the announcements to the bottom. Good moves and glad to see a reduction in the pop-ups. I hope it doesn't effect...

[Cornbinder89]

Anybody have any experience with them? I find myself in a need for both R290 and R134 leak detection and one tool to do both would be handy if they are...

[Cornbinder89]

Not much to go on here, we need pressure reading while in operation and when it quits. Could be a slipping clutch or any number of things. Some of the...
