In this HVAC Training Video, I show the Step By Step Procedure for Charging R-410A Refrigerant into an Air Conditioner that is Low on Refrigerant. I show the Pressures, Temperatures, Delta T, Charging Methods, and What to Watch Out For when Adding Refrigerant into an Air Conditioner equipped with a Piston Metering Device. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

Why in Britain we don't have it as floor. we have at wall hanger.
没营养。
Definetly need to be wearing saftey glasses when checking the Delta T. Wouldnt want to get oxygen into your eyes.
great info!
do you have a video where we can apply same pressure/temperature method but for a refrigerator? I mean there's no air duct, so where do we put our probes? I'm using wireless Testo probes btw.
Tampa Florida check in thanks for the content
Imagine being on 140 degree roof waiting for that right superheat lol I know a lot of techs use psi for reference also
Hello thanks for sharing this very informative video sir. By the way is there a PDF file for the AC Service tech manual which we can download for our reference?
Thanks
Why utilize a Manifold at all? The temperatures of the Suction/Liquid lines, ambient air, indoor air temps, against a manufacturers Charging Chart will give you an accurate charge indication of charge without losing any refrigerant.
Hello,
Thanks for the video,
What would happen if you add refrigerant as vapor? and what is the proper repair for such if needed it?
If a unit says 17.6 lbs refrigerant and you put 17.6 lbs in it, isn't that it?
This video make me very stupid!
Sir where is your course for universal certification? Thank you
Awesome video!! Very detailed. Thanks!
You are a great A/C tech . If there was young apprentice wanting to learn the A/C biz you would be the guy I would want as an instructor … Kudos to you and your expertise
Thank you so much for your help.. I hope you do that in Spanish also….
How can I get your book
Excellent information. Again, what is your wife's name? Thanks. 🙏
Agree with Joe Flores, this is not real world service.
Way too fast you talk like if you are taking a test and no teaching
For sure one of the best videos I have watched pertaining to filling with the why's and how's. This video has certainly left enough of an impression on me in regards to filling systems. I will admit that I have filled a little too fast in the past based on how low and slow you let the gas in.
Thank you for your professionalism and explanation. I look forward to viewing more of your videos in the future.
That whip and lineset is tight
Awesome video !!! Thanks
Great video
why do some refrigerant tanks have a blue and red valve
I have the blue gauge and the quick coupler already but need the t-connector. On your video at minutes 7:54, what is the part# for the t-connector and where to buy it? Thanks
