      I was thinking for standard liquid cooling, would it be possible to salvage a radiator from an air conditioner, and instead use it in a standard liquid cooling loop. If it is, then that may be a cheap way to get a large radiator.
      While phase change is effective, it is also very expensive to run, as you may have a compressor pulling 500+ watts nonstop.

      You're right, they're not supposed to be rotated, even on their side can damage them if you power them on shortly after.. Should wait 12-24 hours after flipping a compressor before powering it up. Also, it's not Freon anymore, that shit's horribly toxic, all modern refrigerants are R-22 (being phased out) and R-410a based. Vehicles are R-134a, but may be transitioning to another, safer, refrigerant in the near future--though I'm not really sure about vehicles.

    Hey Jerry I have struggled with weight issues nearly my entire life even had surgery when I was 16 yrs old. In the 30+ years since I have gained and lost the weight several times. As of now I'm managing to keep the weight off by no longer thinking of being on a diet but to instead to think of it as being a way of life. For what ever reason for me it takes very little bad food to start gaining weight again and lately, due to severe arthritis, I've also had to deal with a lack of activity making it even harder. Right now I'm trying to focus whatever time, energy and money I do have into my first custom watercooling loop build, being on disability does make it difficult but not impossible. I was inspired to do so by both Barancules Nerdgasm and JayzTwoCents because of our similar backgrounds so I thank you both and I believe you will achieve your goal but it's more important that you believe it.

      We have a broken central AC, but my mom doesn't want to fix it right now.

    I searched for a video that would provide information on the specific A/C unit I intend to purchase and could not find it. Additionally, they were short on "real-world" installation challenges. Yours was just what I needed on both counts. Plus, I'll be installing in a second floor window, as you did. Thanks for the informative, entertaining demonstration. Now I can proceed with confidence. Looking forward to more of your helpful movies! Great job !!

      +Barnacules Nerdgasm Of course you like to do it or it wouldn't be so regular. I'm just giving incite from an outside prospective. I only watch one or two every couple weeks, so nowhere near full content consumption. Just to myself and from what I've seen from others, it makes the production quality down as a whole. Still enjoy the information.

      Hell there are 1000's of videos on how to put an A/C on a window. If I wanted a "professional" take i would watch this. I mean a 17 minute video on something its explained on the instructions that comes with the A/C no reason to watch other than for Jerry . I laughed a few times which is great, Good Job Jerry, a lazy job well done XD

  • @Fahrenheit38
    @Fahrenheit38 Pƙed 8 lety +12

    When you tip air conditioners over they need a bit of time before the refrigerant is settled. Remember the refrigerant also carries the lubrication for the compressor. Give it like 12 hours before you turn it on if you don't want to risk damage to your new unit.

    • @VannBergHVAC
      @VannBergHVAC Pƙed 5 lety

      Yeah, because if its upside down and then you install it and turn it on right away, the oils viscosity may cause a leak and will damage the ozone...

    Well, Jerry, you did it completely wrong! The first thing you do after opening the box is take the manual and throw it out the window. I am really disappointed! At least i was until you ignored what the bad yellow paper was telling you and used a drill anyway. Who's a good boy, yes you are, yes you are. *pat* *pat* *pat* I am not judging, i also like having my belly scratched.

    that's quite loud actually. why doesn't US do split yet?

    • @jaquan123ism
      @jaquan123ism Pƙed 8 lety +3

      some people do have split ac units for some situations retrofits but its more common for houses build here to have ac/ heating ducting build into the house and central air/heating systems tend to be cheaper than whole house split systems and central ac is less noticeable than split units

    • @misaalanshori
      @misaalanshori Pƙed 8 lety +1

      what is a split ac unit? is it the ac with a big fan outside the room and another one that is inside the room

    • @marco_evertus
      @marco_evertus Pƙed 8 lety

      nope split ACs are relatively rare in the US(personal experience) however they are no where near as popular as in India because most US houses have central heating and in Chicago(IDK about other places) you don't need a AC but you sure af need heat.

    • @_framedlife
      @_framedlife Pƙed 8 lety

      M Isa yup. The internal unit is small fan and front part. All the business is in a outdoor unit away from the room. I have Hitachi's at my home and this is a Jet engine compared to mine. I have an older model which this one replaces: www.hitachi-hli.com/productdetail/Kashikoi-3200i

    • @_framedlife
      @_framedlife Pƙed 8 lety

  • @harshlands
    @harshlands Pƙed 8 lety +1

    Just for reference, pulling that thing up the stairs with that jerking motion while bent at the
    waist is a good way to end up with a bulging disc or two in the lumbar back.
    Next time, lay it on its longer side angled along the leading edge of the stair
    and push it up from behind using your legs, which allows the back to stay
    straighter and reduces the jerking motion you got at each step, just sayin'
    Anytime you have a choice in moving something between the back bending
    in the forward direction at the waist (i.e. flexion, like how we sit in chairs) or in the
    backward (i.e. extention) direction, usually the latter is best since most
    people already have too much flexion in their lives from sitting all the time
    and extention relieves pressure, along with vertical (like inversion table,etc).
    For a big man its especially dangerous to lift/move heavy stuff while bent
    forward. Entertaining video though nonetheless, cheers.

    Thanks for the great video. I just bought an LG 12,000 BTU LW1217ERSM and wanted to learn from someone else's pain before attempting the install myself. I chose LG for the quietness, it never dawned on me that it would die quickly. Only 4 years huh? I had a 12k air conditioner I bought at Lechmere that was still working when I sold my house in 2015. Not LG. I hope I have better luck.
