Regards appreciable masters of Yoreparo. On this occasion I want to ask for your support about a problem with a Mirage X2 air conditioner from 1.5Ton to 220V. I bought it a year and a half ago, although for work reasons I would have only used it for an average of 300 days, from 8pm to 7am. It is cold only unit, since in Acapulco, it would be Martian who needed heat .... It turns out that he started to make frost on one side of the evaporator coil and thought it was that he already required maintenance. I called a technician and his diagnosis was that he lacked gas, but that was wrong, since the gas should last about 15 years before ending normally. He was checking connections and apparently the leak is in the evaporator. The compressor works well. He told me that with mine was the third X2 air conditioner that a year and a half had leaks in the evaporator and the first one that I tried to fix was a nightmare, since it welded on one side and after a while it showed a leak from another side and that in the end I had to put an evaporator trane. Now, my doubts are: will it work well to place the evaporator unit of another brand? Or should I try to cheat the local mirage specialized attention center to have it repaired? Or is it going to be more what I am going to lose and it is better for me to sell the compressor and buy a new AA ?? Thank you in advance for your valuable comments.

Hello, how are you? If the technician who checked the equipment told you that the coolant lasted 15 years, the first thing I would recommend is that you change the technique so that the refrigerant does not evaporate or expire, the evaporator can be repaired and if it is very perforated can be replaced by another of its same capacity, greetings.

Greetings to the forum. I agree with Omorma (greetings). Some Mirage models come out with material problems. Another evaporator of the same capacity can be placed even if it is another brand, as long as it is for the same refrigerant and that is conventional, not inverter. Greetings from Tabasco.

Even if you do not believe it, it's no guarantee that you will not leak if you change the new coil Repair the leak is the most viable. Then perform pressure tests only the serpentin, injects R-22 to all the pressure of the tank, leave it for a while pressurized, to remove the doubts that you will see another leak on the other hand, which is not very likely but there is a possibility. If there is a leak, replace the serpentine and go. The tec that works for you should be trained so as not to deceive the clients, with all due respect ... the cheap is expensive ....

Is that the worst of the matter is that this is the technician who sent me the distribution company where I bought the air. For that reason, thanking and following their advice, I decided to call the technical service center so that they send me a certified technician. I leave the post open to tell you how the story ends. PS I'm not really enjoying this new Yoreparo ... it does not let me like (well, "yes") anyone! PD2 no, I still do not close it, that's why I said that I leave it open in what the story ends PD3 The story continues that today came the technical service and said if there was a leak, but that was in the part where the gas tank (I do not know how to say it) because that's where it looks black oil. Tomorrow they repair it and I tell them what happened and now if we close the story. PD4 although in advance I think the best answer was to find another technician.

Do not worry about that, get acquainted with the new I repair and whenever you make a query do not give a solution to achieve it, it does not make sense to close the query quickly and then it does not turn out to be the solution, greetings.

Well, now if the end of the story. I asked a technician directly to #Mirage and the one who ordered a leak, but he diagnosed it at the entrance to the "gas tank", they gave him maintenance and recharged the gas and for the moment everything seems to be fine. I'll have to wait to see if it really worked, but at least it gave me more confidence than the previous technician.
They are 90 days warranty, although I really have no idea how I will know before that if the solution was final or if it will still fail. Time will tell. Again I thank you Masters of YoReparo

One way to find out is by performance, place a thermometer in the air inlet of the indoor unit and another in the output you take note of how many degrees it enters and how many leaves and subtract that subtraction must be greater than 12 ° every 15 days and if it decreases, you call again before the warranty expires.

Omorma, do you support me more specific porfa?
Air intake of the indoor unit you mean the evaporator right? Is it at the top?
And exit at what distance? 5cm? 1m?
Thank you very much omorma
Also thanks malevolo and Nostromo, could not give them little hand up (The new YoReparo will not let me) Sniff ... #QuieroMiViejoYoReparo

The thermometer is supported where it sucks air in the upper part of the indoor unit and the other just in the outlet of the cold air you leave it 5 or 10 minutes takes note and subtracts the inlet temperature to the outlet and must be greater than 12 ° Ahem: enter 30 ° and leave 15 the thermal jump is 15 ° this is always the difference should be greater than 12 ° if you lower that performance flames to the guarantee.

Yesterday my thermometer arrived by ML and I made the first test. 26 ° C entry and 7 ° C exit. Difference of 19. I will start the follow-up period. Thanks again Omorma

Perfect continuous monitoring as long as the thermal jump is greater than 12 ° will be good as long as it is high temperature because if it enters it is 18 ° obviously that difference will be good, it will not throw you zero because the evaporator works between 2 and 4 °.
