    that is correct,same here in australia
    most companies want 3-5 years experienced tradespeople..
    well,you can always tell them that you will work for minimum wage untill you prove yourself..

    Thanks for watching.

    You could try getting a job at a hospital, apartment complex, nursing home or any other place that does their HVAC in house.

    Thanks for everything. Your videos are helping me with my HVAC classes.

    What is the correct superheat setting for a Trane system?

  9. DrZarkloff says:

    If it the system has a TXV, you’ll want to charge the system by subcooling instead of superheat. Look at the back side of the control cover in the condensing unit. There might be a chart that tells you what the superheat or subcooling should be for outdoor ambient.

    Isn’t R-134a used now in newer refrigerators ? All the 2009 refrigerators i’ve seen use R134a. I have one of them, and it cools MUCH faster and much better than my old R-22 :D

  11. DrZarkloff says:

    Yes, R-134a is the most used refrigerant for domestic refrigerators. The new refrigerant for walk-in freezers is R404a and the newer walk-in coolers use R-134a.

    20 to 30 degrees super heat!!!!!!!!1

  13. thebacon1lb says:

    Urgh, I am dreading 410a. I haven’t ran into it yet and I been doing this for 4 years. I do mostly hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants hvac/r.
    Most of that stuff is R22, 404a, 408 and 409.

  14. DrZarkloff says:

    I know what you mean. The school board is just now replacing older R-22 systems with R-410a systems.

    great work on all videos!!! i am a cms in the rses organization and really get a lot from these.keep cranking them out so we can keep watching!!!!

  16. Furnacedoctor2009 says:

    thank you so much for making your videos, you help me out so much with doing my job better in the HVAC world. God bless

  17. DrZarkloff says:

    Thank you for watching.

  18. DrZarkloff says:

    Thanks for watching.

  19. DrZarkloff says:

    You should really check your pressures while in the cooling mode. With that, use superheat or subcooling to charge the system.

  20. hobie0001 says:

    Can you explain how to charge a commercial freezer (captube) using the superheat/subcooling method?

  21. FreaK42WheelZ says:

    I didnt realize there was a digital PT chart. They help SO much.

  22. justintime818 says:

    Thank you for your videos. I have a question. What gauges do you use recommend? What brand and model?
    Thanks again

  23. johns7745 says:

    great videos, im in school for my asso.degree, and you help explain alot,
    thanks for helping me with my homework

  24. libertea1776 says:

    I’ve never seen anyone take these measurements at the air handler. When you connect gages at the condensing unit, you will also take your suc. line temp much closer to the compressor. It will be higher than the temp immediately exiting the evap. coil. Also the low side reading isn’t the “evap temp” the pressure reflects the heat absorbed from the return / outside air, so the coil temp is much lower than your suction line PT temp. U should do it again at the condensing unit.

  25. garcon98 says:

    dr Zarkloff ,i also learned it that you add 30 degree to ambient temp then go to your gauge and do the pt calculation .Does any of that make sense to you ?thanks in advance
