    :trumpet: panu po kaya malalaman kung butas ang CONDENSER NG AIRCON? prone pa naman po ito sa mga tumatalsik na bato along the way.

    This is removed from the system, cleaned and pressurized tapos lublob sa tubig to see if it has leaks.

    Oldschool.

    cocoy,
    this practice is only done in the philippines for shops who do not want to spend on electronic leak detector or at the very least halide leak detector for R12 systems. this practice is totally idiotic. sometimes the leak is in the O-rings that connect the condenser or other aircon component for that matter. now, if the leak was from that O-ring, it will not show on the bubble bath you just mentioned. you might as well get a spray bottle filled with soapy water and spray on the suspected area. leaks forms bubbles if there is still residual pressure in the system

    may mga kaso ng leak na di kayang idetect ng leak detector, halimbawa kung ang system ay wala ng refrigerant wala ng madedetect ang leak detector dahil ang ipapasok na pressure ay di naman muna refrigerant agad para di masayang ang refrigerant ambiant air lang ang gagamitin gamit ang compressor. pwede din refrigerant ang ilagay para madetect ng leak detector pero sa mahal ng refrigerant nakapang hihinayang na gamitin lang sa leak test ito.

    advisable pa din dito ang tubig at sabon

    kailangan talaga i seminar yung mga tech natin para malaman ang tamang paraan ng paggawa ng AC.

    TO DO A LEAK TEST ,PERFORMANCE TEST MUNA .
    CHECK THE PRESSURE , RECOVER AND EVACUATE THE SYSTEM AND CHARGE
    1/1O KG OF REFRIGERANT AND IF NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE,ADD NITROGEN GAS AT 150PSI (NOT SHOP AIR THAT'S NOT A PROPER PRACTICE)

    NOW WERE READY FOR ELECTRONIC LEAK TESTING .
    OF COURSE THE TECH WILL KNOW IF THE SYSTEM IS EMPTY OR NOT.

    WERE NOT GOING TO USE A KILO OR TWO OF REFRIGERANT JUST TO DO A LEAK TEST HERE.ITS COMMON SENSE

    visual check lang boss tingnan mo condenser mo kung may mantsa ng oil,pag may leak kasi ang system mo kasama sa leak o pagtakas ng refrigerant mo ang oil na kasamang umiikot sa system.

Help: Pano malalaman kung butas ang condenser?
