Discover The Ultimate Media Air Filter To Stop Particulate Bypass And Eliminate Pressure Drop!
An air filter and filter cabinet combo that has the potential for particulate bypass will create issues within an HVAC system. For instance, any dirt/debris that is not captured can get caught on the secondary heat exchanger of a high efficiency furnace and/or evaporator coil of an air conditioning system. This can plug the surface and also cause condensate management issues.
Choosing a deep pleated filter will reduce the overall system static pressure as there is more surface area over a 1' filter for example. In the video, we look at the AprileAire 1310 cabinet and 310 Merv 11 filter. This filter will also reduce PM2.5 levels within a home and won't require to be replaced as much.

How Does Flame Rectification Work On A Heating Season
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 3 měsíci
Flame rectification is the process of changing an AC signal to a DC signal. During flame rectification, the ignition control will send an AC signal in the range of 90v to 120v, from the flame sense terminal. That signal is sent down the flame sensor wire and through the flame sensor, it is rectified using the flame as part of the circuit and allowing the signal to come in contact with ground. A...
Carrier Rooftop Gas Valve Replacement After Going Off On High Limit
zhlédnutí 2,4KPřed 6 měsíci
Last winter this Carrier rooftop unit was going off on high limit. There was a problem with the gas valve in high fire and there was also a problem with the bypass damper on this zoned system. The gas valve pressure would creep up slowly over time from 3.5" wc to almost 4" wc within a few minutes of operation. For this reason, it had to left in low fire. The bypass damper was stuck in a closed ...

How To Install A Drain Pan Heater On A Cold Weather Heat Pump

Heat pumps accumulate ice/frost in the heating cycle on the outdoor unit. During the defrost cycle, the ice/frost will melt and water will drain out the bottom. In cold weather applications, you may need a pan heater so the water does not re-freeze into ice. Ice accumulation at the bottom of the outdoor pan can cause issues with fan obstruction and potentially cause coil damage if the ice is al...

    Although I do love the idea of the younger generation starting their own gig just a few years into the trade because we desperately need the younger folks to keep this trade alive and well, the 30 year HVAC veteran in me also knows how many years it takes to be a full well rounded and experienced tech. I couldnt imagine starting my business after three or four years in the field, I didnt know jack crap compared to when I actually started my own years and years later. It takes tens and tens of thousands of service calls on all kinds of different equipment and applications to really get to know this trade. There are no legitimate short cuts to get around that fact.

  • @garypoplin4599
    @garypoplin4599 Před 20 dny

    My understanding of the discharge superheat calculation is discharge line temperature less the condensing temperature converted from liquid line pressure. I have a bench top chiller (255g R134a) where the discharge line temperature is high (216F) and the liquid line temperature is low (barely above ambient). How can I test the function of this chiler while avoiding the use of a piercing valve (and possible loss of critical charge)?

  • @Zackrutledge1998
    @Zackrutledge1998 Před 22 dny

    I have been having an issue with a Carrier RTU recently. Issue was leading to airflow so I checked ductwork inside the space and checked static pressure of RTU. I did it using a Fieldpiece SDMN6 and I just used a single port to check supply and return individually. RTU is rated for 1 inch W.C. Max external static pressure. My supply was ( .63 in w.c) and my return was (-.37). This added up equals 1 inch correct. You don’t factor in the negative correct? Why isn’t your supply in a negative? I though the suction side or return side of blower motor would be in a negative and the discharge or supply would be positive. Younger technician just trying to learn any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
