Evacuation Tips
HVAC and Refrigeration Circuit Evacuation Best Practices One of the most important procedures in the manufacturing of HVAC and refrigeration units is the evacuation (or degassing) of circuits. The procedure of evacuating circuits can also be one of the bottlenecks of...
Evacuating through Schrader Valves
Evacuating through a Schrader valve costs you time, but how much time? We looked at Schrader valves and how they impact evacuation times and what that means for your facility. We set up a simple experiment comparing evacuation: Through a Schrader valve By a Schrader...
Oh Vacuum, Where Art Thou?
Since refrigerant charging is typically much faster than evacuation, we often find excess charging capacity sitting right behind a bottleneck at the evacuation stage. As a result, we frequently hear our customers ask what they can do to reduce their evacuation time....
Are you still brazing with the (remains of) dinosaurs?
Most of us are still using outdated 19th and 20th century brazing technology, blissfully unaware that there is a much, much better way of doing things. We can hear some of you saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” or perhaps, “We’ve been using oxy-acetylene for...
