Since a lot of people have been commenting on the previous video where this air conditioner showed up, I thought I’d let everyone know that it is fixed and back in service. Thanks for all the comments on the previous video!

I don’t think there is any need to do that.

You might be right …
You might be right about the central chiller with the cooling coil. The heat is central, with a boiler (And free, amazingly) and maintenance disables the A/C units during the winter. They also leave notes on our doors warning us not to try running the A/C in the winter, for it could cause the coils to leak. So I bet you are right.
New systems could …
New systems could possibly be charged with 134a, but the most recent system I saw installed (in 2002/2003) used R-22.
A few different systems might be in use–you might find a central chiller is used and chilled water is pumped to your cooling coil. This saves costs as compared to running many little air conditioners, and each person can have their own air handler and thermostat.
If you want to try and understand the risks, I’d say looking at the condenser unit for the specs is your best bet.
I have a question …
I have a question you might know the answer to uxwbill…do central air units run off of R134a? The central A/C unit for my apartment has always been a little on the weak side. I thought about getting a can of refrigerant from O’Reilly and giving it a little boost, but I didn’t know if it would work. I just don’t want to call the apartment maintenance because those guys are a joke.
I don’t have a lot …
I don’t have a lot of A/C units laying around for parts, as I don’t want the trouble of getting rid of them.
I won’t be using this A/C unit except when it is bitterly hot out. It will be close to the triple digits when it is used. That’s why I don’t think it will be a problem.
will work good …
will work good untill you have a day whare the out side temp drops below 65 out and its cool in the room and the inside condencser ices up and kills the compressor:)
why not just take a themostat from a diff ac and wire it up
That was one weird …
That was one weird issue. I think what I might do to mine is rig up a relay control with a thermostat so the fan and compressor will shut off at the same time. I have a portable unit that blows room air across the condenser. The drawback is it exhausts the cool room air when the fan Is running continuously.
nice man good work! …
