Please CO2 safety information
Thank you for your valuable informations sir, Can you make detailed video for high pressure valve and bypass valve controlling with the flash tank.. How to control rate of vapour generation and liquid generation.. and control(opening and closing) logic of flash tank. It would be helpful for us... Looking forward for your valuable response
You're so much of a refrigeration guy you don't know it's called an air curtain. And the fans can't run backwards you can only put the blades on the wrong way
@@licensetochill79 cases with DC motors are capable of running in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. This reversal of directions can be easily controlled by simply inverting the polarity of the applied voltage.
@RefrigerationMentor no sir in that case that is a a generic fan motor it is not capable of spinning in reverse I know it's not a DC motor that's an ECM motor stop putting out the wrong information. I've been doing this for well over 35 years. I was nationally ranked as one of the best in the United States. Through Union competitions bringing all competitors together from around the nation and Canada
I have a question, Can the primary nozzle of the ejector receive a saturated mixer phase?
@@bliyeansoeun9274 that is a great question. I do not see why not as they can but used in place of a high pressure valves but you should follow up with the specific ejector manufacturer as there are many different designs.
@@RefrigerationMentor Thank you so much.
@@RefrigerationMentor Sorry for being out of the ejector topic. I'm seeking a small-capacity compressor suitable for CO2 systems. Are there any companies or models you could recommend? thank you.
I HAVE A ONE QUESTIONS ABOUT COMPRESSOR CAN YOU GIVE ME Reply
Great information
@@DWAYNE2ism as always thank you.
hi trevor. i was a refrigeration engineer with NH3 experience and a working knowledge in CO2. However finding some employer to practice my CO2 knowledge is limited. is there any company that you could help me with so i can get a position? thank you.
What country/ state are you from?

Whats the song
doesnt get any better than this. thanks
@@africaRBG your welcome.
I just replaced an AC and heater in a 22-year-old home. After 2 days the compressor stopped working - just ambient air from the vents. The thermostat actually alerted me to this with an error message. The company came out quickly to check - the compressor was very hot - they cooled with water (I'll assume to reset a thermal switch) - it ran for about 5 minutes then shut off - the fan still working but no cool air. The unit will be replaced tomorrow but I wonder if a 4-ton AC unit (Had a 5 ton for 22 years) will need to work harder than a 5 ton, thus running longer before the home cools down to the thermostat set point - and if it runs longer, will it heat up more and possibly this happen again? Vent calculations were done, a 4-ton was called for, so I can't really question this, but I think strange a brand-new unit would fail at the compressor. Are there things I can check weekly after the new unit is installed to be sure it's not going to fail when it's 95+ outside. I will monitor the temp at the exit of the compressor (just outside the AC unit) and it should be very cold. I will take reading with an IR thermometer and note these. One other thought - if the duty cycle of the compressor was 70/30 (on/off) I can see it might not have time to cool down before the compressor starts again - thus heating up an already hot compressor. Any way to estimate how long it should take a 3400sq/ft home to cool from 78 to 73? is there a rule of thumb in this area? Yes, window efficiency and air leaks in the home will matter, but just in general.. should it cool 2 degrees per hour? more / less? and if the home heats up from 3pm-8pm and the AC can't keep up, so it's on all the time, does this mean I need a larger AC unit (more tonnage?) Thanks for any input.
Hi trevs benni here tell me do ypu only desl on only commercial supermarkets refrigeration or do you also deal on domestic . Im.asking rhis question case most of your vides i follow or watch its only commercial. I want to learn and expand my knowledge thanx
@@bennimotlatsi8901 all our training at this points is very focused on supermarket and commercial refrigeration, all CO2 refrigeration commercial industrial and other natural refrigerants like R290. Head to www.refrigerationmentor.com to learn more.
How is leaking CO2 that is returning to the environment that it is taken from bad for the environment?
It cost energy to create CO2 refrigerant for refrigeration system, it has a GWP of 1 which is not as bad as other refrigerants and it cost technicinans time to recharge and end users money to just blow it off CO2 to atmosphere. There are many indirect emissions when relaseing refrigerant charge to the environment.
I release R744. Trying to recover it is Total nonsense. At 0.04% of the atmosphere, releasing C02 is of no concern to any sane person. Besides, I doubt recovery equipment exists.
It’s not, unless you’re a lib.
Is it possible for a Bitzer motor that runs on Co2 gas to have its operation system changed? It runs on Freon gas
I am sure it could run on other refrigerants but it will not maintain any capcity even close to what CO2 would maintain. Their CO2 compressors like all manufactures have smaller pistons and cylinder bore holes as CO2 has way more capacity then other refrigerants. I would go with the right compressor for the specific refrigerant it is designed for. Contact Bitzer for more information.
Great video! Where can i buy one of those emerson demonstration?
very informative. Keep it up, brother.
Thanks for watching. Please share with others if you enjoyed this video.

Hi Mentor, could the refrigeration system be located in a different floor than the ice field? Im looking at a case in which the ice field is 8 meter elevated from the ground and the refrigeration system would be located in the ground floor where we have 200m2 available and easy access from vehicles. I would very much appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
Between, we are looking at an indirect CO2 transcritical.
@@lluhu yes as long as the piping and design is correct. If you’re looking to hire a CO2 design firm I know a few that maybe able to help. Send an email here if interested refrigerationmentor.com/contact-us/
@@RefrigerationMentor thank you very much for the reply. This is my final project of my degree, so not a real project unfortunately.
@@RefrigerationMentor Hi Mentor, Im back to you again with one more question. I would very much appreciate if you could give me an answer. In my project, I can't place all the refrigeration plant (250m2 or 2700 square feet) in the same floor as the ice field for reasons of space. I could place 50m2 (550 square feet) in the ice field level and the rest (200m2) in the floor directly above. Or I could put it all together in the floor above. What of the two options makes more sense in your opinion? If placed in two levels, roughly what would make sense to locate in each? im considering an indirect CO2 transcritical system. Any input would be very appreciated.

Hello. Do I need to get a license because the entire program is not installed? E3 controller.
@@aprendeconelrichy for certain programs you need licenses but I think you can download the main controller software from Copelands website.
iam interested in optimizing the co2 system for maximizing the subcooling and superheat. Is therer anyway i can learn practically i mean like a traiiining center.

I have all that after 30 yrs. Just wish i could give my knowlege on a thumb drive and load all my experiences to someone who really wants it.
@@dbell41888 share it hear. We love continuous learning. Shoot me a message here refrigerationmentor.com/contact-us/ and we can see how we can get that knowledge out to more people.
Haha... I didn't know the oil can have some "particular" in it once it runs through the system. How about impurities or... particles?! I guess that was the right word. I know, camera gives me track too.
@@olachus good catch. Thanks for letting me know.
@@RefrigerationMentor I know you know it. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, but it seemed to be funny at the moment. Like I said... I get nervous sometimes in front of a camera. Be well and blessed! Keep up the good work!
@@olachus no I do appreciate it. I put out many videos a week and sometimes I make mistakes. We have many outtakes videos. lol. Thanks for the support.
It helps to prevent discharge pressure to bypass into suction which will cause the system to short cycle even if the system set point has been reached at the evaporator. Also, as Trevor stated in summary, the discharge vapor equalizing into the suction will cause unnecessary high load and torque during startup every time the motor energizes because of the higher pressure on the low side. This is compounded by the potential of short cycling. Faster wear on motor windings and shorter compressor life.
Let's say you don't have ports on the oil filter. Can you check the line temp on both sides of the oil filter, looking for a temperature difference?
there will usually be ports on a line after and before the filter, so checking pressure is still possible, from what i remember is 8psi is normal differential and anything higher than 12 psi is too much restriction in the filter
@@Jway8412 yes checking the temperature across it will be a tell tail sign too.
@@ericsanchez2121 yes if you are getting 10-15 psi (1 bar) difference that filter is plugging up. It needs to be replaced.
How many tons is that compressor?
@@arnodouma502 I don’t remember it’s a very small tonnage. Maybe 1 ton.
@RefrigerationMentor that's the smallest scroll compressor I've ever seen. Pretty cool new concept!
@@arnodouma502 they make smaller ones too.
My dream is to meet you, work with you and learn from you are amazing man i wish i would be like you one day God bless you❤
I thought all scrolls compressor had the check valve whether for refrigeration or comfort cooling
@@mrgreen9086 they do but they are different as some are disk type and some are spring loaded.
Hey Trevor took your compressor master class a year or so ago. Love your channel. Thanks for all the helpful information. Will be reaching out via email tomorrow regarding some questions on 448/449a low temp systems. Seem to be having a lot of issues with scrolls failing using 448 for freezer applications. Not sure if the liquid injection is intermittently failing or if 448 just has a hard time at low temp due to the low pressures to achieve the -10 temps
@@NeighborhoodDada I am so glad you enjoyed the training program. Yes I have heard that but there is probably one or two things that maybe causing that. reach out and I will do my best to support you.
thanks for the video, pal! you from the east coast in Canada? I detect an accent lol Ontario here
@@africaRBG great catch 100% Cape Bretoner
Hey Trevor. Long time fan. Do they also have the floating seal before it?
@@PedroGomez-q5z yes the floating seal is to prevent the scroll from running into a vacuum. The floating seal pushes against the muffler plate which separates the discharge and suction.
latent heat is the amount of BTUs it takes to cause a phase change in a refrigerant or the air, correct?
@@luccaszach great job. yes it is. More great content here linktr.ee/refrigerationmentor
Are you in your right mind to suggest Co2 as refrigerant in refrigeration systems. Dont you know that at 31 C CO2 between liquid and vapor phase and compressors of refrigeration systems burnout while compressing vapor
Im astonished how many compressors I see as a rebuilder that come in seized with no oil in , we will send a new compressor out and that will be back to rebuilt the following week, engineers dont really care or know how to test these systems.
@@Kritchley thanks for commenting. yes this is why we all need to share more basic refrigeration knowledge to help uplift the industry.
Thanks for sharing this i just learned something new, this tells me to replace my accumulator after the system went water since the shell and tube condenser had leakage and the was a lot of water in the compressor and evaporator(Trio skinning drum ). Although i flushed out the system with nitrogen.
@@mikemuitati7109 we are really glad you took something away from this video. offers.refrigerationmentor.com/free-guide?
I was surprised to see that a presentation covering carbon dioxide didn't use the correct chemical symbol of CO₂. If you made this basic error, it sort of sets the scene portraying an overall lack of real knowledge and background to this somewhat complex issue.
This guy is the reason we have so much more knowledge on R774 in the industry. Trevor is a top bloke.
Totally agreed with you@@ryanfrench4702
When the world will understand that this is not a reasonable direction of refrigeration development? Correct direction is R717, R1270, R1150, R290, R600a, R600, R170, R50. Only subcritical and low energy comsumtion systems!
When it is very hot outside, my fan stops working. And then I pour ice cold water on top of it. It starts running immediately but again after about an hour it stops. Can you plz tell me what could be the problem. Thanks.
@@mmmm-official compressor is overheating and tripping on internal overload
Congrats. Well deserved. Low key saving the planet one tech at time 😂
In the past have had a leaking packing gland, had some rota lock seals and the smallest one was just the correct size to fit over the stem and leak stopped.

Uh-oh... this video is not for the uneducated (me). Just an old person looking for a way to fix my chest freezer i use as a frig (it's only a year and a half old; overheating terribly). Thank you.
@@2Hearts3 well it could be low on charge, plugged capillary tube or dirty condenser.
@@RefrigerationMentor thank you very much for your reply-- my guess is dirty coils (have a Lab who tracks in a lot of dirt) but can't get to them. Appears to require turning over and access underneath. Tried side panel, no coils there. No access at back or other side, so i guess underneath. Frigidaire 7 cubic ft chest freezer.
