xarios sight glass

[cadwaladr]

do dean and wood supply sight glass for this unit it says danfoss on it along with china so is it a ctc part only,its an ,o,ring type

[clivemtk]

is it not just the name on box

[djbe]

D&W may be able to get them from danfoss if you them enough time but you will probably find that there is a minimum order quantity, a long lead time and the price will be around the same as a genuine Carrier one.

We have sourced decent replacement, it is slightly shorter but not much and a reasonable saving on the Carrier one.

i will get my supplier to try to locate one but yes you are right d+w will prob have a min order,

just heat up the sight and it will turn green no need to change there all yellow any way even when new

the new gah drier glass fits a ctc and you get a new one with every drier i just fitted one on a xarious

[cadwaladr]

thanks charlie,gah seem expensive to me but to be fair to them i do not buy too much off them,on the heat up front the ones i meet that need changing look like mud has been running thru a good tip tho!.

And if there is moisture in the system it will turn yellow again after running for half an hour:confused:

[cadwaladr]

as a rule the drier should be changed every 12 months in my opinion but i have heard of more regular intervals 2 in 12 months? but its an item that get neglected but with the hose connections set up i think every year ,but getting them to run green is tricky but i swear by sporlan driers but have not yet found one to fit this unit.

[charlie patt]

the carriers always pull in moisture with those pipe fittings and fan speed control i change driers on ctc every 12 months the new gah stuff has really small driers now to and are suffering moisture issues when you fit a burgaflex fitting and oil the o rings and you can still turn the flexi pipes what can we expect, the other issue is installers most dont give a rats ass and have no idea what a good install is is all about cost.

on the installer front one of my customers had a lwb sprinter side door and rear doors had minimum insulation i had an issue with it and was looking in the docs found the commisioning sheet it went from +15c to -20c in less than 2 hours with a +15c ambient?

no its bollocks,the installer was the commisioner who made it up for certain but what i could not understand a copy of the sheet was sent back to gah they must just shred it not read it!

[charlie patt]

i dont think they do or the other problem is the box probe moves a little and is picking up evap coil temp i had a new one the other day that customer said was doing minus 14 but it did not feel that cold it was converted in wales. the box probe was a whole half a cm from the evap the box was nearer plus two as evap fan was not working,lwb relay high roof only a arrow unit 50mm insulation on freezer no curtains and the customer said it was cheap. roll on summer
