  2. TheInvisivent says:

    Great! Got the idea. There is a more efficient way to get air circulating though.

    lol dude you rock!!!!

  10. crazam345 says:

    dude the compressor doesnt turn the gas into a vapor, it just makes it a higher pressure which inturn takes it to the condenser, and it turns into a liquid in the condenser while the fan is rejecting the heat!!!

    that’s not HOW an air conditioner works….that’s a laymen’s term on how something circulates in a pipe….you guys didn’t explain a dam thing other than common sense, you might as well kept your mouth shut.

    sheesh

    it’s good for people who don’t understand it at all.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m a 17 year old who has welded/brazed up my own custom refrigeration-based chiller with a 1/2HP rotary, propane(as a refrigerant), a SLHX, and a TXV =)

    Ya left the theme music running in the background!

    Its hilarious how people call refrigerant “freon” LOL!!

  15. kingquad1993 says:

    @eligray i have heard of people useing propane as an refrigerant in the past just not heard of someone really useing it new. its just a matter of time before a winding in the compreser burns up and BOOM.

  16. kingquad1993 says:

    @sabriath i agree they really didnt show how the condenser and evaporaters are used. he didnt even show half the system. the air handler very poor video it kinda looks like he got some weak facts about air conditioning off the internet and did a video as he know what he was talking about

    @fouxhound

  18. harley1022 says:

  20. lukeboa says:

    can I use your video in a web site Im working on for my business

  21. skittlesmonkey says:

    is there a reason there use an expansion valve instead of something like a little turbine to harness the energy of the moment from high pressure to low, or is it just to make the mechanism simpler?
