Replacing a stuck compressor I diagnosed two days ago.

We are back on this duct compressor
and I am fixing to start recovering the freon
because
I'd like
to reuse
most
of it but
um that's
what I'm
fixing
to do. I've
recovered
all the way down to zero
but that accumulator right there feels cool to the touch so I know
I got
some
oil
traps
refrigerant
in
there.
This is
one of
those
jobs
everything
in your
truck
gets
emptied
out
and
is
right
around
the
condenser
pressure
out
and
getting
ready
to
do a
bubble
search
no need
to use
bubbles
i think
everything
in here
is done
close to a
thousand
microns
today
this is the way i'm pulling a vacuum let's just say i've had lots
of troubles trying to do it
by pulling on one side and putting a gauge
on the other i am going to have to change a capacitor
this new compressor requires a 70 m5 i'm gonna take
this hard start kit off and um see how it
does without it i am below 900
microns pull down to 500 right there
for right at 30 minutes so we
are fixing to start charging
i first diagnosed this i said
that i thought something was wrong
i think we're seeing it i've got just
a little bit overcharged i don't know that i put in
nameplate calls for 10 and a half and i have put in right at 11
and a half which is right where it
should be subcooling here is 15 degrees
so it's right on liquid line temperature
is 60 degrees but
look at these pressures it does
look like they've got a piston in it
which i knew all right what i
found when i went inside was the filter
in the master bedroom was completely clogged there was
no airflow whatsoever coming through that and it
had a piston hey i'll have to make a phone call
find out what size piston goes in this we may come back
and make sure it has the right piston
but when we pulled that filter out of the master bedroom
my suction pressure went up it went really
close to normal so i may i may just leave it
so it's doing a lot better than it was he hadn't had
air two or three days now, so he was happy to have some air.
