Episode Details

Part 1 -Bert (Kalos tech) and Keiran (Kalos apprentice) join Bryan in the studio to talk through the basic refrigerant circuit and how it functions. They talk compressor, condenser, metering device, and evaporator as well as the four lines and the states of the refrigerant as it travels

They talk about the compressor, condenser, metering device, and evaporator as well as the four lines and the states of the refrigerant as it travels. We have already covered all of the basic components in earlier podcasts, which you can check out HERE; we focus more on accessories, refrigerant movement through the circuit, and scientific concepts in this episode.

We also discuss:

• Pumps vs. compressors
• Refrigerant and air-cooled compressors
• Flooding a compressor with liquid refrigerant
• Crankcase heaters
• Temperature vs. heat vs. BTUs
• VRF vs. ductless
