So the work begins! I picked up this window unit a while back.
And I broke it down, this poor machine needed a really good cleaning.
Here are the numbers for the compressor, note the pink sticker on the bottom, this guy ran on R410a with POE oil, so that is getting flushed out and replaced with mineral, though R290 is soluble with POE as well.
I pulled out what was once the evap and cleaned it up with some acid.
The reversing valve is in, still need to find a coil for it though. I had to do some research on this to make sure it would work. I was worried the valve wouldn't be able to switch the flow from the condenser to the fish tank coil while the compressor was running, but I was reassured it would by a HVAC tech, so we shall just wait and see.
I needed to find my water line before the digging starts this Sunday. And boy was it deep.
More parts coming in soon!
