You don’t want to hurt that poor old chiller with all that surge. That thing has got to last 50 years. My favorite water cooled centrifugal chillers to schedule on Mechanical drawings as an MEP engineer is the Trane Centravac.
Yes, I let the purge run all day and the next day all the air was out. It had a low side leak. It would only suck up most of the air while the machine was off. The purge unit was in auto, so it would only pump out when the chiller was running.
Can you give me more details on the purge unit and why you have the restrictor bypassed? We have a CVHF770 that had a leak, we repaired the leak, but we put the contaminated R-123 back in the machine. So your video helped out a bunch but I'm just curious as to how to get non-condensables out of the system now. Thanks again!
I bypassed the Restrictor to accelerate the removal of non condensables. I also disabled Max Pumpout Alarm for 72 hrs to let the Purge get all the air out.
@@SombraLocs I don't have to I know what it is. I don't walk up to a system and say stupid shit like it's surging because their is air in the system. LMAOOOOOOOO

Yung HVAC There is so much to learn in this trade.
Sounds like demons inside
Keep uploading videos man
I will, I just don't know what type of videos to upload. Seems like theres multiple videos of the same thing out there.
When you went back the next day, was all the air out? Or did it take a bit longer?

Learn what chiller surge is before you start making videos.
You make a video and show us.

@@wd8557 I didn't say it only surges when theres air. Go ahead make a video, show us. Let's see your knowledge.
