Let's take a walk through the startup and commissioning procedure of a conventional or “single” refrigeration condensing unit. We’re going to start with a unit that is fully piped in and has been pressurized for leak and strength testing. For brevity, we are going to assume a basic familiarity with industry standards, company and customer […]

Basic Compressor Functions The compressor's job is to circulate refrigerant through the system by means of vapor compression, similar to the way your heart moves blood through your circulatory system. Refrigerant circulation is measured in lbs/min or lbs/hour; this is called mass flow rate—the mass flow rate changes depending on the density of the refrigerant […]

In my classes we have a few rotary compressors and they have shiny black accumulators on them. The students call this a drier quite often because our alco display driers look very similar.

I haven’t done any quick quizzes like this since I got my Journeyman ticket 11 years ago.
Made me think back to school. Ha. Good stuff. Thanks. Keep them coming.

Recently started listening to your podcasts. Good stuff. Maybe you could do an episode on those fun carrier/Bryant heat exchangers they were having issues with.

Have to disagree with sight glass question. If you charge past the full sight glass on a cold day the system will be overcharged at higher ambient temperatures with liquid banked up in the condenser and high discharge temperatures. Also once you have charged past a full sight glass you can easily overcharge a system. The low sight glass may be due to flash gas caused by insufficient subcooling in the condenser and liquid line and not low charge,exacerbating the problem, therefore all the answers are incorrect. Also what is a cold control? It must be an American expression. Please be more specific as any control on the low side of the refrigeration system could be called a cold control. I take it you are referring to a refrigeration evaporator or coil thermostat as opposed to a room thermostat.
