I noted that with your unusual method of adjusting a TXV reveals that although the temperature of the pressure drop area is measured, it does not seem to be the coldest part of the coil, it actually gets colder to a poit, as it passes through the first few rows of the coil, as evidenced by your measured temperature readings, compared to the TP pressures on the suction side (5F adjustment, compared to the 16F SH on your gauges). your 5F is actually 16F of SH. and of course 16F SH will protect the compressor well. Just an observance.....

Hey Jim ! I love you videos. Thanks for going through the trouble of posting them. I am considering buying the fluke 54 but my question is what kind of pipe clams are you using?? And how do you attach to pipes? I am currently using the cooper and the pipe clamps are the best...very small and compact so they fit in tight spaces. But the case is big and not as reliable as the fluke

Jim, I enjoyed your video. Constructive criticism time: Putting any type of sealant on the "straight" threads of a flare fitting does absolutely nothing. The refrigerant will leak out around the nut where the tube goes through. Use some nylog on the flare face instead.

I don't know if I'm just seeing things...but it seems as though you put the drier on backwards...typical refrigeration units have the receiver king valve as the outlet which flows liquid to the txv. Based on my examination, it seems as though the arrow on the drier is pointed towards that king valve. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Jim I do not know where or who taught you refrigeration but I hope for the industries sake they are not doing it any more. I have watched numerous videos and I do not think I have seen one with so many errors and misunderstandings of refrigeration science as yours. What benefit do you get from measuring the TD across the refrigerant side of the evaporator valves should be set up measuring superheat ie. suction pressure against suction temp.
