  • All AC parts and what they do. In this video I go over all the components and parts that an air conditioner has, what they are called and what they do, inside the house and at the outdoor condenser unit. A small crash course on the central air conditioner system.

    Just so you know, for months upon months my son (4 now) has been watching your videos, memorizing as much as he can, and then re-enacting it with household objects. He recites your videos by heart, often. During online video call for classes, if teacher asks him a question oftentimes he answers then starts taking about repairing air conditioners. He was obsessed with air conditioners since he was much younger, and we used to go on hours long walks where he would stand on the street and check if the neighbours' A/Cs were running or not, and he would cry if it was off sometimes. So he thinks of you as a hero / teacher.

      @@99jp99 because you use the two open contacts as a third position. Relays and switches have a Normally open and normally closed, if there’s 2 separate normally open contacts, that makes a whole contact. You just wire them in series and boom! You have a 3rd position.

    • @onemoremisfit

      @@99jp99 Position 1: passage to compressor is closed. This isolates compressor from the system line set.
      Position 2: passage to compressor is open to system line set but not open to service port, this is the position where the system will normally run.
      Position 3: passage to compressor is open to system line set and also open to service port. This is the position where refrigerant pressures can be measured while system is running for service testing with a manifold gauge set attached to the service ports. When service testing is done, valves must be set back to position 2 before removing manifold gauge hoses to avoid loss of all refrigerant from the system.

    Every instructional YT vid should be this detailed & clear. I was a very successful university communication instructor & find almost all how-to YT vids on all topics to be seriously inadequate &/or flawed to the point of uselessness (particularly when it comes to troubleshooting & diagnosis). You are a gifted teacher which is quite a rarity. Do NOT worry that you're going off on side topics - it's better than leaving out something important. The inserted text is a great way to optionally dive deeper - EXCELLENT job!

    As a generalist contractor / low voltage guy who just wanted to fix his own AC: thank you, this was all quite helpful, ESPECIALLY the 'pause the screen' more detailed explanation bits. Before, I did not understand why capacitors were needed for common HVAC motors. Now I understand how they are used to take single-phase AC to give dual-phase to a motor and why a motor won't run if the capacitor dies.

      I work in UK as building services Engineer, the one I come across are FC UNIT AND AHU something a bit different, however in one place or contract I took, there were Hitachi Airconditioners on the walls and there were many in different parts of the building and let us say some of them let us say around 10 of them in different places were connected to a single unite on the roof which was I suppose Condensors, I was pretty confused I thought since it is only one compressor from the top of the building for each system [ Each one had around ten Hitachis] Let us say system one had ten hitachi on the walls in different parts of the build and that sysem one only had one condensor on the roof, so how does it work for so many of them in the industrial buildings???? In the case of FC And AHU they use a very different kind of system which I work on. I mean after the expension valve are there different evoporter coild in each hitachi for a single system in which there are ten hitachi connnected to a single condensors etc on the roof, if you can explaine this it will really sort out allot of problem for me. Most of the JOB I do are BMS and FC AND Ahu and electrical stuff which I understand them all but this one is a bit confusing for me if you can explaine it a bit???

    • @ajcastellon5903

      @@derickritter254 depends on your area to be honest. Some places do more with heating than cooling. All regions in the states also use various types of different systems.
      I'm in Nevada. We use heat pumps, or straight cool with furnace. Some apartments communities even use heated water heating systems.
      Anyway, I myself haven't worked straight hvac actually. In my area, companies will hire for the season and can tend to lay people off during the winter since there's less work.
      I work in apartment maintenance, it's more steady people say, but you'll def want to have all your trades brushed up.
      In a day you might run the gambit of doing plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc...
      But knowing hvac and having your epa cert can open a lot of doors for you.
      I actually was out of trades for some time, and after recently being laid off I jumped back into it. There's always high demand for maintenance people in las vegas where I'm at.
      As time passes you can earn a decent living, and you'll have a skill that's always in demand.
      Also, soke of the most coveted jobs are commercial for sure.
      You go service restaurants or stuff like that and doing commercial means you won't have to be in attics or deal with the elements as much.
      Anyway, getting your epa is good cos it doesn't expire, so you can explore the field and see what strikes your fancy.

    • @moeb434
      @moeb434 Před 2 lety +1

      Why is the discharge line insulated in a heat pump? It doesn't have to be. You want heat removed from the discharge line! You would not insulate it. In a heat pump, the large line becomes the discharge line and you do want it insulated as it is carrying hot gas for heating to the indoor coil.

    • @jweschler
      @jweschler Před 2 lety

      That’s not true. The discharge line (actually called liquid line) is not insulated in a heat pump. The insulated suction line becomes the hot gas line in heating mode.

    FYI: I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, some newer units install the reversing valve for heat pump units between the exterior cover and the coils. Meaning just because you do not see the reversing valve where the video indicated doesn't mean it's not a heat pump.
