Why use RectorSeal’s AC Pan Treatment for your HVAC systems?

 

Treating HVAC systems is a very important maintenance task that should not be taken lightly. That’s because nobody wants to deal with the extensive and expensive water damage a filthy AC pan and a clogged AC drain line can cause!

 

Air conditioners actually accumulate a lot of water from the surrounding air (an average of 5-20 gallons per day depending on humidity levels) in order to effectively cool and dehumidify our homes. Now all of that water has to go somewhere – and that’s where the AC Pan comes in. All of that moisture that your AC system pulls out of the air is collected in a small drain pan located inside of the AC’s indoor evaporator coil section. If the drain line of the system isn’t clogged, the AC system then dumps all of this water from the drain pan down the drain line and flushes the water away into the plumbing of your house or building.

 

Since AC drain pans are located in a wet and dark environment, they can become breeding grounds for bacteria – making them prone to developing mold, slime, and sludge. If not treated properly, these contaminants can cause the AC drain lines to clog, potentially causing water overflow and even efficiency loss/higher electricity use from your AC system.

 

Rectorseal’s AC Pan Treatment tablets are designed for air conditioners, humidifiers, and refrigerators. 

 

Features and benefits:

 

  • Prevents slime, sludge, mold buildup
  • Eliminates clogged AC drain lines and stale water odors
  • Prevents potential water damage from blockages
  • Saves time and costly repairs
  • Comes in 30 and 200 tablet bottles
  • Safe, fast acting, easy to use

 

Simply start the treatment by placing 2 tablets per one ton of air conditioning into the A/C drain pan. Drop 2 additional tablets per one ton of air conditioning every three months or whenever you notice unpleasant odors emitting from your unit. The AC Pan Treatment may be more effective if the pan or reservoir is fully drained and cleaned before applying.

 

Follow these directions, and you can rest assured that your AC drain pans and drain lines are clean and free of debris.

What are the Benefits of an HVAC/R Monitoring System for Supermarkets?

 

What is an HVAC/R Monitoring System?

Systems for tracking HVAC/R equipment provide around-the-clock monitoring and feedback on their energy use and performance. These systems contain IoT sensors that keep track of the temperature, occupancy, intake of fresh air, and other factors that affect indoor climate. Their main objective is to notify HVAC/R operators of faults and inefficiencies in real time, enabling facility managers to take proper action. 

Benefits of HVAC/R Monitoring Systems for Supermarkets

HVAC/R equipment use around 50% to 60% of a grocery store’s electricity consumption. That’s why along with the residential and commercial applications of HVAC/R, supermarkets can also take advantage of improved efficiency in components and systems. A holistic approach to store energy management provides greater energy savings than optimizing systems and components individually. Here are some of the top benefits of implementing an HVAC/R Monitoring System for supermarkets:

  • Reduced energy consumption. 

Closely monitoring how your systems are performing not only gives the system manager greater control over the temperature and comfort in-store, but it also allows them to spot inefficient energy expenditures that previously went undetected. Operators can use the monitoring system to automate switching off assets that are not being used as well as program devices to make appropriate adjustments for different times of day, outdoor climate conditions, and store occupancy to further optimize energy consumption.

  • Reduced operational costs. 

This is closely linked to the point mentioned above. Gaining insight on where energy is being expended properly and where it’s being wasted lowers operational costs gives facility managers more room to reallocate potential savings into other areas of the store. 

  • Connectivity and multi-location capacity. 

Monitoring systems (such as the XWEB EVO) use sensors, software, and connectivity devices embedded with IoT intelligence. This can deliver a higher level of energy savings as facility managers can collect and exchange data over the internet at a local, remote, or mobile level 24/7/365. Consequently, monitoring systems can communicate with applications and services in the “cloud” to enable data-driven decisions.

  • More up time, less disruptions. 

Monitoring systems help take a lot of the guesswork out of HVAC, removing the need to climb up on roofs or reach hard-to-access ductwork just to determine the root of a problem. Cutting down on determination visits also frees up manpower for preventative AC maintenance and other cost savers. Since HVAC/R monitoring systems provide useful data in real-time, it helps facility managers anticipate problems before they arise. This significantly reduces downtime as the HVAC/R systems are properly maintained well in advance, and any issues are pre-empted.

  • Identify outdated equipment. 

HVAC age and energy efficiency go hand-in-hand. With an HVAC/R monitoring system, it’s easier to spot outdated energy-intensive equipment and processes that are due to be replaced with more efficient and environment-friendly alternatives. If being a responsible corporate citizen is important for you and your shareholders, an energy monitoring solution is a must.

When store data is readily visible to facility personnel, store owners, and management across locations, cities, and states, they can achieve an impressive amount of cost savings and labor maximizing objectives. It empowers them to make quick decisions to maximize energy efficiencies, optimize food safety, and reduce the store’s overall environmental impact – all while improving shopper experience by creating a more pleasant environment with optimum temperatures, humidity control, and ventilation.

Proper Care and Maintenance for Tube Cutters: How to Replace a Dull Blade

What is a Tube Cutter?

The best way to cut tubes at various lengths is by using a tube cutter. This is a handheld tool with rotating cutting blades that can cut a long piece of tube into two or more parts. A tube cutter is commonly used for creating custom piping systems in both residential and commercial buildings, for industrial plumbing or processing lines in fluid transfer systems, for waste water treatment, for gas handling, and for heating and cooling systems. Its parts include a curved jaw housing, a blade, and a handle which allows you to hold the tube in the cutter’s jaws and rotate the entire cutter around it.

Proper Care and Maintenance for Tube Cutters 

Select the Correct Cutter

In order to make a clean cut, you should choose the appropriate tube cutter to fit your needs. Selecting the specific type depends on the material, diameter, and thickness of your tube. Smaller tube cutters are used to manually cut pipes made of plastic and copper. Heavier duty tube cutters, which are often electrically, pneumatically, or hydraulically powered, offer precise cutting control and cutting speed regulation for large-diameter plastic pipes. Each type has its own particular features suited for the intended job, so make sure you are using the correct one.

Clean Tools Regularly

At the end of each job, make it a point to clean your tube cutter. Use a cleaning agent and a wire brush to gently clean the feed screw, rollers, and most importantly, the cutting blade. Doing so prevents your blade from losing its sharpness.

Lubricate

While a cleaning agent is effective in thoroughly cleaning your cutter, using it could lead to your tool becoming dry. When dry, your cutter becomes weaker and you will likely have a hard time making that clean cut. Don’t forget to lubricate the feed screw, slide, rollers and cutting blades with a suitable lubricating oil after cleaning them.

Store Properly

To prolong the lifespan of your cutter and prevent the blade from easily becoming dull, ensure that your tool is stored properly after each use. Always hang your tube cutters in a warm, dry area if possible. To avoid accidents, store them inside a cabinet, out of reach of children.

Inspect the Cutting Blade Frequently

Aside from cleaning and lubricating your cutter, you must examine it closely after every job. Check for any damages on the body, the feed screw, and the rollers. When it comes to the blade, don’t forget to inspect for proper tracking and sharpness. It is very important to verify that the blade isn’t blunt or chipped before use. Keep in mind that while a tube cutter’s blade is made of stainless steel, it shouldn’t be used to cut pipes made of hard materials like iron or steel.

How to Replace the Blade

For manual tube cutters:

  1. Unscrew the dull blade.
  2. Carefully remove it from the cutter.
  3. Insert the new blade and screw it in.

For power tube cutters:

When it comes to power cutters, there is no need for a screwdriver since the blade is simply attached with a pin. All you have to do is push the blade removal switch. Once the old blade is released, carefully remove and replace with a new one. To secure the new blade, simply release the removal switch in order to lock it in place.

Flare Fitting with Soft Copper Tubing: A Leak-Free Solution to Difficult-to-Solder Joints

What is a Flare Fitting?

Flare fitting is a type of compression fitting which uses metal tubing, usually soft, ductile steel, copper, or aluminum. It is an excellent alternative to solder-type joints as it is mechanically separable and does not require the use of an open flame. In a flare fitting, the tube itself is being “flared,” which means it is expanded and/or deformed. The flare is then pressed into the fitting and secured with a flare nut to prevent any leakage. A flare connection provides long-term reliability and is thus the number one fitting of choice for mission-critical cases and harder-to-reach locations. 

Why Soft Copper Tubing?

Unlike hard copper which is rigid, soft copper is malleable and can be easily bent according to one’s desired shape and size. As flare fitting requires flexible tubing, soft copper becomes the only type of copper tubing suitable for this use. It also provides high reliability as the copper material is corrosion-resistant, can withstand high temperatures, and has good electrical conductivity. Soft copper tubing usually comes in rolls 25 or 50 feet long with an outside diameter (OD) ranging between ⅛ inch to 1 ⅜ inch. Because of its flexibility and length, it is also the top choice for refrigerant lines in split-type air conditioners and heat pumps.

How to Make a Flare Connection

What you will need:

  • Flaring tool
  • Flare nut
  • Flare union
  • Adjustable wrenches
  • Soft copper tube

  • Flare the tubing ends.
  • Place the flare nut close to the end being flared.
  • Find the hole in the flaring bar of your flaring tool that matches the outside diameter of your tube.
  • Insert the soft copper tube into the hole.
  • Adjust the height of the tube and the hole opening accordingly to achieve sufficient flare length.
  • Clamp the tool onto the tube.
  • Align the compression cone to the tubing’s end and turn the handle to tighten the screw. This process flares the end of your tube.
  • Remove the tube from the flaring bar and inspect your work carefully.
  • Assemble.
  • Connect the flared end of your tube into the flare union.
  • Slide the nut down and tighten.
  • Test for leaks.
  • With one adjustable wrench placed on the flare nut and another one on the flare union, tighten the flared joint. 
  • Make sure not to overtighten.
  • Once snug, give the nut and the union a half-turn each.
  • To test, pour water into the tube.
  • If the joint leaks, adjust the tightness until the leak stops.

What are Tube Cutters?

Meet the VALUE Tube Cutters

What are Tube Cutters?

As the name suggests, tube cutters are used to cut tubes at various lengths. They are handheld tools with rotating cutting blades or wheels that can cut a long piece of tube into two or more parts. Tube cutters are typically used for creating custom piping systems in both residential and commercial buildings, for industrial plumbing or processing lines in fluid transfer systems, for waste water treatment, for gas handling, and for heating and cooling systems.

Their parts include a curved jaw housing, a blade, and a handle which allows you to hold the tube in the cutter’s jaws and rotate the entire cutter around it. Tube cutters can be used manually or powered electrically, pneumatically, and hydraulically. Selecting the specific type of cutter depends on the material, diameter, and thickness of your tube.

How to Use a VALUE Tube Cutter to Cut Copper Pipes

Copper tubes are typically used in heating systems and refrigerant lines of HVAC (heating, cooling, and air conditioning) systems. The tubes act as a path for the refrigerant to pass through from one system component to another, preventing it from leaking out. Because they are corrosion-resistant, they provide the most reliable connections and are thus a top choice for many HVAC applications.

Knowing how to cut copper tubes using the proper tools is a truly valuable asset. VALUE’s range of tube cutters is trusted by many professionals in the field. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a VALUE tube cutter to cut your copper pipes:

  1. Measure your pipe and mark the spot where you are going to make your cut.
  2. Position the pipe in the tube cutter and tighten the blade around it. It must be a snug fit—not too tight, otherwise the pipe could bend.
  3. Give the pipe a few turns then pull it out to inspect it. You should find a groove cut around its circumference.
  4. Slide the pipe back through the tube cutter, aligning the groove cut with the blade. Tighten it once more until you get a snug fit.
  5. Twist and put pressure on the pipe until it is cut.
  6. Once the copper pipe is cut, shave any burrs or raised lips left on the inside.
  7. Sand the pipe until smooth then rinse it to ensure that no filings or metal residues would enter your system.

How to Spot a Counterfeit Copeland Compressor

Copeland Compressors

The compressor is an essential component of your HVAC/R system. It moves the refrigerant to and fro the evaporator and condenser coils, converting the refrigerant to gas or liquid form as needed. You can think of the compressor as the heart of your cooling system and the refrigerant as the blood that it pumps in and out.

Copeland has long been at the forefront of compression technology. Since its establishment in 1927, the brand has been producing efficient, reliable and regulation-ready compressors. With more than 170 million installations all over the globe, you will likely find a Copeland compressor in the HVAC/R systems that many homeowners and businesses rely upon.

Copeland Scroll Compressor – ZR125KC-TF5-522, available at Magic-Aire. The Copeland Scroll commercial ZR compressor is known for its superior efficiency and performance. It has an ASTP (Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection) feature which protects the compressor from high discharge temperatures. It also has a light, compact design that allows for easy installation and maintenance.

Copeland is particularly known for its vast line of scroll compressors that range from 1-60HP. When installing a Copeland scroll compressor, you are guaranteed to benefit from years of scroll compressor innovation and expertise. You are sure that you are getting the highest quality–a compressor with superior efficiency and reliability, easy installation, and wide horsepower capacity range in low-, medium- and extended-medium temperature equipment. If you’re on a tighter budget, it may be tempting to purchase a counterfeit compressor that promises the same performance quality as Copeland. However, you must remember that there are dangers to buying the cheap, fake version.

How to Spot a Counterfeit

To make it easier for you to spot a counterfeit, Copeland has put certain authentication mechanisms in place, one of which includes serialization. You may look for a unique serial code on the compressor body and crosscheck it with the one provided in the official Copeland™ Mobile Application. This app has a Serial Number Search/Scan/Authentication feature which provides authentication of product model number. If they do not match, you most likely have a fake unit. You could also look for authentication stickers showing a holographic Copeland logo stamped on your compressor.

Aside from these mechanisms, there is also a less complex way to help you determine if you have an original or a fake compressor. One main thing to look out for is the color. Copeland compressors are all black. If you are being offered a “Copeland” compressor in another shade, you might need to do a double take.

When shopping for compressors, you must also be aware that there are resellers who refurbish old Copeland compressors, replacing original parts with off-brand components, and selling them off as brand new. Refurbishing makes it harder for you to spot a counterfeit–as you’re dealing with a compressor with a legitimate outer shell. The best way to prevent yourself from buying a fake is purchasing only from a reputable HVAC/R dealer like Magic-Aire.

Dangers of Buying a Counterfeit

While a counterfeit does offer you a lower cost, the performance quality is incomparable to the Copeland original. It does not provide you with the exact same quality, efficiency, and performance. To keep the purchasing cost low, a counterfeit is most likely made from cheaper materials, which increases the risk of your compressor breaking down. When this happens, shopping for replacement parts is a lot more challenging. There is always the possibility that these replacement parts will not work nor properly fit your unit, which ultimately prompts you to replace the entire thing.

A counterfeit compressor has a significantly lower life span than the original. It is not as durable. It will likely run into performance problems which leads you to buy a replacement counterfeit one after another. This only increases the total amount you spend in the long run.

To avoid these dangers, be careful when shopping for your compressor. Follow the aforementioned authentication steps and steer clear of unknown resellers online and offline. It is always best to purchase from an official distributor like Magic-Aire, who can easily help you verify the authenticity of all HVAC/R products you buy.

Benefits of Buying an Original vs a Counterfeit Compressor

What Does the Compressor Do?

The compressor is an essential component of your HVAC/R system. It is responsible for moving the refrigerant to and fro the evaporator and condenser coils, converting the refrigerant to gas or liquid form as needed. The compressor acts as the heart of your cooling system, with the refrigerant as the blood that it pumps in and out.

Whether your system requires a scroll or a reciprocating type, investing in an efficient, high-quality compressor is very important. If you’re on a tighter budget, it may be tempting to buy a counterfeit compressor that promises the same performance quality as those by top brands. But do not be fooled! There are setbacks to buying the cheaper version. Here are some of the top reasons why you should always purchase an ORIGINAL compressor for your HVAC/R system:

Benefits of Buying the Original

  • Guaranteed performance: When purchasing from a reputable manufacturer, the customer is sure to receive the high-quality product that they require. It guarantees that the compressor is made only from the best materials available and engineered by the most skillful manufacturers. An original compressor is less likely to malfunction. You also wouldn’t have to worry about your purchase suddenly failing to fit the size of your HVAC/R system.
  • Higher efficiency: Clogged air filters, incorrect pressure readings, and leaks all affect your system’s efficiency. With an original compressor, you most likely won’t encounters such problems. An original compressor also uses power more efficiently, allowing you to save on energy costs.
  • Access to latest technology: When buying the newest iteration of the original, you automatically have access to the latest technology available in the market. Rest assured that the original compressor you have has undergone a thorough process of research and development conducted by only the top researchers and engineers in the industry. Having the latest technology also promises to significantly cut down on lead times and energy use.
  • Longer life span: Designed and engineered with only the best materials and by the top experts in the field, an original compressor promises a longer life span. Buying from a legitimate manufacturer also guarantees easier access to proper maintenance of your compressor, which keeps it up and running through the years.
  • Higher return on investment: You will get the most value from an original unit because of its high-quality components and longer life span. It also proves to be more cost-effective, as it delivers better energy efficiency and is less likely to require the immediate replacement or repair of components.

 

Disadvantages of Buying Fake/Counterfeit

  • Incomparable performance to the original: While a counterfeit compressor does offer you a lower cost, the performance quality is incomparable to the original. Since it is merely an imitation of those offered by legitimate manufacturers, it does not provide you with the exact same quality, technology, and design. To keep the purchasing cost low, a counterfeit is most likely made from cheaper materials, which increases the risk of your compressor breaking down.
  • Parts/components are harder to replace: When your compressor does break down, shopping for replacement parts is a lot more challenging. Since what you have is not original, if you do purchase replacement components from the legitimate manufacturer, there is the possibility that they will not work nor properly fit your unit.
  • Shorter life span: A counterfeit compressor has a significantly lower life span than the original. Because it is made with cheaper materials, it is not as durable. You are more likely to run into performance problems which will then lead you to buy a replacement counterfeit every time, thus increasing the total amount you spend in the long run.
