Heat Pump 03 Reversing valve
Now lets take a look at the reversing valve!
How does a reversing valve work?
What does the inside of a reversing valve look like?
What causes them to fail?
What does cooling activated mean?
What does heating activated mean?
We will not be doing any diagnosing or replacing in this video but we will in future videos!

Amazing Instructor. Because of you I will not fail learning the reversing valve.
This is the best explanation and demonstration of how a heat pump reversing valve operates...thank you so much for taking the time to prepare and upload this video!
Thank you for the time and effort you give to those who want to learn!!!

😁 I appreciate that!
I used your magnet method to find where my valve was located. It was right in the middle and stuck. A manual I found suggested applying a high-power magnet to pull the valve to one side or the other. It did not move anything, but it must have loosened it a bit. When I turned the system on with the fridge magnet still attached, I watched it slide to one side. My system is working now. Thank you very much for your video.

Excellent explanation as always Ty! Your way of teaching gives me another way to break it down for my apprentices and help them along their way to becoming a journeyman. Cheers from Ontario, Canada!

Man, that’s the best reversing valve video I’ve ever seen. I always “kinda understood” them, but never really worked with them. Now I totally get it, and I love the magnet method.
Wow..I learned so much from this video Ty.. Thank you sir 🤝

Great video Ty, thanks much. Question: Are the typical line sets (3/8" high and 7/8" low) properly designed to handle the pressure differentials caused by the reversing valve in order to prevent premature rupture failures?
Today’s lesson is brought to you by the sound WOOSH and BRRRRRRRRRRR.
Love the video.I just did a service call yesterday,with a scroll compressor in a lennox heat pump, pressures are equalized while compressor is running.Im returning monday with a new compressor,it is under warranty.Im beginning to wonder is it possible its the reversing valve stuck in between.RLA of the compressor is 21.5,but only drawing 5.4.Discharge line temperature from the compressor is outdoor ambient,with absolutely no pressure change.Compressor sounds very nirmal at startup,but does no pumping.
One way I remembered which is discharge and which is suction is the the middle (suction) line has “friends” it’s cool. The lonely one doesn’t it’s “mad” (red)

Honeyyy, I shrunk my hand!!! 😄...
So, do most reversing valve default to heating mode, until orange wire is energized? Is white wire energized at same time as orange, or simply until heat strips are energized?

Valve the same for HOT Gas defrost for you refrigeration nerds. AI find these on the MAC units at McDs a lot.
Most Asian mfg build their HP with reversing valves active heat configuration. In North America the convention is to do the contrary, reversing valve active cool. The rationale behind this is that is more critical to have heat in winter than ac in summer. At one point this was a requirement but It appears that with the influx of imported equipment some of the traditional NA design conventions are changing.

It depends on what the equipment is doing. Most heat pumps energize in cooling. And yes for that reason. Rev Chillers energize in heating mode

so the weeme tube makes the slide valve valve move. 24 volts; where is it where n do power to the valve go again, clean line when brazing. with nitrogen or it gets dirty and then sticks; wow im in florida
Sometimes I pinch it squeeze with ajustable plyers to eliminate it incase of it gets mulfunctioned , instead of heat extract it, pinch it from both sides, what u think? Thanks.

The valve very rarely fails but often gets misdiagnosed. Damaging a good part eliminating 1/2 of the system function Incase a very very rare problem occurs sounds like a bad idea.

I had a faulty reversing valve on a 3T 17 year old R22 Rheem unit. It was stuck in heating mode - summer time in Georgia! The solenoid would click when I cycled power to it. The valve would not change. The replacement part was not available and I recommended changing the entire system due to the cost and the age. To get the owner by, I crimped the end tubing, vented the end to get it into cooling mode, used a pair of Vise-Grip pliers to lock the slide in place and then sealed the tubing. It ran without any problems. This was the only time that I have had one fail. I had considered cutting the reversing valve out and making it a straight AC - the cost would have been high due to the R22
Great vid Ty, but, you cannot install the changeover valve in a position where the sliding piston is parallel with gravity, this is a no no no go
@love2hvac
Жыл бұрын
Parallel or perpendicular? I have only seen them parallel, perpendicular is a no go because the oil will fill up the ends and not allow it to shift I thought I covered that, but I don't remember.

@@love2hvac We are on the same page Ty, but expressing differently, I meant a no go when the piston is positioned vertically, up down motion (parallel to gravity not to earth). Btw I love all your videos bcz you are thorough

@@love2hvac now I’m totally confused. Forget about gravity and just use the ground surface. Should the sliding valve be horizontal or vertical? In the video where you’re demonstrating a real valve functioning the sliding piston is horizontal. Never mind, you covered it at the end of the video quite clearly.

The EPA 608 is the only certification. Schools can give you a certificate of attendance, and some can give a diploma but it does not mean much unless you get an associates from a community college. You have to be careful, a lot of for profit schools are saddling people with debt but they give the exact same EPA 608 certification.
What the hell did he build
Just came across this short video from 5 yrs ago that found a melted teflon seal. The seal had formed so the valve worked in heat but failed in cool Trane reversing Valve won't cool but heats ok. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHl2yqioqdy2ds4.html
