Ladies and Gents,
I would like to start an A/C water chilled unit. However after reading some of the threads, there is no definative thread for the newbie. I've read "It's not for newbies," but lets face it, everyone was a newbie at one point or another.
I don't have a backround as a refrigeration tech, I have a backround in being shot at by people in foreign countries, so I'm not afraid of a refrigerant burn.
I don't want to jump right into making a cooling system, I want to learn. I don't even know what I need to learn though.
I'm calling for this to be the newbie question thread like,
"Explain brazing?"
"What's an evaporator and condensor? How can I tell the difference when I take an A/C apart?"
"What the bloody hell is a capillary tube and why are people crimping them and adding tiny ones?"
"What's the best coolant to use?"
"Any particular tubing to stay away from?"
"What tools should I have on hand?"
Pictures are great, but a diagram with labels would help. I'm needy, but hell, who isn't?
