You are correct, do to degradation over time a capacitor does slowly lose capacitance. The question I have is at what point do you change it? I have seen some capacitors that’s say +/- 3%, some say +/- 5%, some say +/- 6%, and some say +/- 10%. I have a co-worker who says he has seen capacitors brand new out-of-the-box that’s say +/- 6% that are already 6% low so he goes by the rule of thumb when it reaches 10% low he will change it. What are your thoughts?
VENOM PACK CONDENSER
PURE CONCENTRATE COIL CLEANER
Venom Pack Condenser Cleaner is a high foaming pure concentrate liquid designed to tackle the toughest soils. The proprietary blend of specialty detergents will liquify heavily embedded grease and grime to restore heat transfer and increase the efficiency of the coil.
Viper Condensate Pan and Drain Treatment is a sprayable gel. It coats the pan, p-trap and drain piping with a lubricative film to improve flow and prevent future soil adhesion. The slow dissolving enzyme gel will outperform and outlast conventional tablets and strips.
One drop of Nylog on your rubber hose gaskets prior to attaching your core tools, hoses or vacuum gauge will assure that things do not bind or leak during evacuation. Derived from refrigeration grade lubricants. Non-hardening, non-drying fluid which bonds tenaciously to many different substrates. Typically, one drop of Nylog can be stretched about three feet before breaking.
