In this short podcast, Bryan explains why latent capacity is prone to disappearing. He also explains what actually happens when the latent capacity drops.

When you measure enthalpy split across the coil, you'll learn that the equipment design makes it perform to AHRI design conditions. Those design conditions are...

In this podcast, Jeremy Smith joins us to discuss demand cooling in low-temperature applications that use R-22 refrigerant.

R-22 is NOT an ideal low-temperature refrigerant because it leads to high compression ratios. The discharge gas also gets really hot and can burn up the oil in the system. (The head of...

Bryan and Kaleb cover the basics of low-voltage electrical applications. They focus on the practical stuff, not just the theory that confuses techs.

Many techs have a hard time with low-voltage electrical concepts and components because it's not easy to visualize what happens; we only see wiring diagrams, not metaphors...

In this short podcast, Bryan talks about the impacts of compression and airflow changes. He also discusses some of the ramifications of those changes.

In order for us to energize the second stage of a compressor, we need to energize both Y1 AND Y2. On stage 2, we're running that compressor at full speed (350-450 CFM...

In this podcast episode, we ONCE AGAIN talk about superheat and subcooling. This episode is a recap to help people who struggle with the concept.

You get superheat when you have 100% vapor, and you have subcooling when you have 100% liquid; any liquid-vapor mixtures are in a saturated state.

We usually measure superheat...
