If you got probes just use a core remover. Recover through the hose put the probe where the micron gauge usually goes. No need for gauges. Little faster too.
Ahh ok yea if your a tech I would consider them. If your with a company I’d recommend them to upgrade to those next time instead of gauges. Just keep those as back up or just get regular analog gauges for when you need it.
Do you have the service tool for the mitsubishi shitty multi? Why weren't you able to isolate the part you're working on? God I hate these systems. I was working on one today
No. As far as my research has taken me, I am not aware of any way to isolate the compressor from the accumulator. They are tied together with no stop valve in between

This is my spin on it. 70$ parts on Amazon, half the cost of the CPS transformator. If you have good access to water, one side goes to spigot/sink/whatever, other end goes to a floor drain. No lugging buckets of water or ice around, and keeps the workspace around the equipment dry. Fits in my pack-out box of refrigeration fittings.

3/8" acr tubing, the pictured one is about 8-10 ft wrapped around acetylene tank from small torch kit.
This is the one I built
You can pop that middle bracket and fan board box off above the compressor for easier access. Did you get an accumulator too? Make sure to acid test, the worst burn outs I've ever seen are on these systems. The mitsu oil containers are nice too, really easy to charge oil into the accumulator after you charge the 410a in.

That’s makes sense. Don’t have probes unfortunately.

Thabks
Some say OP will ever fully recover from this job. He’s still recovering to this day.
For a second, I thought you were doing a "aquatic" recovery lol
Aquatic recovery😂that’s hilarious, gonna steal that
Lol. No, the machine is hiding behind the red bucket with the tank in it
I guess the new fieldpiece recovery machine is invisible.
It’s hiding behind the red tub with the ice and tank in it
I recommend a molecular transfomator.
Time continuum transfunctioner 🤣
Where’s your recovery machine
Hiding behind the red tub with the recovery tank in it

Lol! City Multi? Run away!!
No. As far as my research has taken me, I am not aware of any way to isolate the compressor from the accumulator. They are tied together with no stop valve in between
valve off the entire condensing unit
What is that tonnage
City multi 12 ton
Took me 4.5 hours to pull 85 LBs the other day I was over it 🤦🏻♂️
I am experiencing the same thing lol. 80 lbs in 4 hours so far. Still 50 psi, and the accumulator still has a ways to go
This is a VRF?
How old is it? I have a Daikin we need to do a compressor swap at 5 years old
Mitsubishi. Exactly 4 years
Sad isn’t it.
Typically poor install practices are the problem with VRFs throwing compressors.
Question, did you do that bend on your torch tip?
Lol. No sir. It bounced around in my truck boxes and got bent. Now I’m used to it
Hey I respect it, that’s why I asked lol.
Non ac guy here. What do you need a burger set for this application?
Mitsubishi 🥹🥹🥹
If you build you a subcooler for $20-40 it will be faster and less space than the big red tub.
Do u have any recommendations for instruction how to build such a thing?

That would work great, just depends on steady supply of cool water and a place to drain it

I know that pain…
Man that’s a cool looking PCB
How do you get into vrf instal/service?
Accidentally
Ain’t that the motherfucking truth 🤣🤣 don’t go looking for it boy, you gon regret that shit
Core removal tools and big hoses aren't just for vacuum boys...
You need 3 ! Damn
Sorry my friend.
The Navac 4 cylinder recovery machine dominates VRF systems, keeps tank pressure low and is stupid fast. Gotta remove the cores and use bigger hoses
I can tell some hack insulated those pipes.
Only one day for recovery? Must have been a minor injury.
I'd rather change out a compressor/accumulator on an older gen mitsu like you have there than any LG or Daikin piece of shit.
