Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew greaves

In this action-packed live stream episode of HVAC School, host Bryan is joined by Eric Kaiser, Ty Branaman, and Roman Baugh for a continuation of a deep-dive conversation on vacuum practices — picking up where a previous episode left off with Andrew Greaves and Jim Bergmann. The team sets out to both reinforce the foundational best practices every HVAC technician should follow and to explore some genuinely uncharted scientific territory around how vacuum gauges actually work, how refrigerant contaminates micron gauge readings, and what really happens to moisture inside a system when temperatures drop below freezing. A central revelation of the episode is Eric's explanation that modern electronic vacuum (micron) gauges do not actually measure pressure directly — they measure heat transfer and translate it into a pressure reading. Because these gauges are calibrated to nitrogen or air, the presence of refrigerant vapor in a system (which has roughly three times the heat conductivity of nitrogen) can cause the gauge to display a falsely high reading. This means a technician could believe the system still has poor vacuum when it may actually be further along than indicated — or, more concerning, that a system appears to have passed vacuum when contamination is still present. The team acknowledges that controlled experiments are needed to quantify exactly how much refrigerant affects the reading, and they commit to designing those tests. The conversation then pivots into the physics of water at the triple point — the precise pressure (4,580 microns) and temperature (32°F) at which water can exist simultaneously as solid, liquid, and vapor. Eric walks the audience through a phase diagram built from International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam data, explaining that once pressure drops below the triple point, liquid water no longer exists. Any moisture in the system either sublimes directly from solid ice to vapor or remains frozen. This has major practical implications: a system with ice inside can still pull down to a very deep vacuum, but will not pass a decay test until that ice is fully sublimated — which requires both sufficient vacuum depth and available heat energy. The colder the ambient environment, the deeper the vacuum must go to create the temperature differential needed to drive sublimation. The episode wraps with an illuminating discussion on refrigerant oils — specifically the differences between POE (polyolester) and PVE (polyvinyl ether) oils and how each interacts with moisture in fundamentally different ways. POE chemically bonds with water through hydrolysis, breaking down into acid and alcohol and permanently degrading the oil. PVE, on the other hand, physically traps moisture through surface tension and can hold up to twice as much water as POE, but remains chemically stable. This distinction affects vacuum strategy, dryer sizing, and long-term system reliability — particularly in VRF and cold-climate heat pump systems where compressor oil management is far more complex. Topics Covered Core vacuum best practices refresher: large hoses, removing valve cores, skipping the manifold, using clean pump oil, micron gauge placement, and decay testing Why micron gauges measure heat transfer — not pressure — and how refrigerant vapor causes false-high readings on the gauge The impact of refrigerant retained in compressor oil on vacuum accuracy and the potential role of nitrogen sweeps in displacing refrigerant molecules Triple point science: what happens to moisture when pressure drops below 4,580 microns and why liquid water no longer exists below that threshold How ice inside a system can allow a deep vacuum pull-down while still failing a decay test, and what that means for cold-climate HVAC work The role of heat during evacuation: why adding heat accelerates moisture removal and how deep vacuum increases temperature differential to drive sublimation Cold-climate challenges: vacuum pump limitations, micron gauge accuracy at low temperatures, and the physics of dry air in freezing environments Triple evacuation and nitrogen purging: whether nitrogen disrupts oil pockets, displaces refrigerant, or both — and why the team wants to test it Nitrogen tank quality concerns: the possibility that low-grade nitrogen could introduce moisture and whether an inline dryer would help Using system flush chemicals: why Ty cautions against flushing agents and the risks of adding additional chemicals that break down oil POE vs. PVE oil chemistry: how POE undergoes hydrolysis when exposed to moisture (creating acid) versus how PVE physically traps water without chemical breakdown Dryer strategy for large commercial systems, VRF, and VRV: filter dryer sizing, core pulls, oil sampling, and why an "oil dialysis machine" would be a game-changer Plans for future controlled experiments: testing refrigerant effects on micron gauges, ice behavior at various temperatures, and vacuum performance in cold climates Industry influence over time: how community-driven knowledge sharing has already shifted vacuum and refrigerant practices over the past decade Whether you're a residential technician looking to sharpen the fundamentals or a commercial refrigeration specialist wrestling with VRF oil contamination, this episode delivers both practical takeaways and a front-row seat to the scientific inquiry that drives best practices forward.

In this long-awaited live episode of HVAC School, host Bryan Orr reunites with three industry veterans — Jim Bergmann of measureQuick, Roman Baugh (Kalos), and Andrew Greaves of NAVAC — to tackle one of the most pressing and underaddressed challenges in modern HVAC: performing refrigerant recovery and system evacuation in extreme cold-weather conditions. The conversation was sparked by a real-world observation from technician Chris Hughes, who relocated from Louisiana to Minnesota and quickly discovered just how different — and difficult — cold-climate HVAC work can be. What follows is an honest, science-heavy, and often humorous deep dive into a problem the industry has largely ignored. The episode centers on the growing prevalence of cold-climate heat pumps, especially inverter-driven systems capable of operating at extremely low outdoor temperatures. As these systems become the primary heating source in cold regions, technicians are increasingly being called to make repairs — and perform evacuations — in sub-zero conditions. The group walks through why this is such a challenge, examining the fundamental physics that make pulling a proper vacuum nearly impossible once temperatures drop below 40°F. The conversation draws heavily from refrigeration science principles that, as Jim Bergmann bluntly points out, were largely left out of HVAC trade education over the past several decades. One of the most compelling moments of the episode is Andrew Greaves' introduction of the "heat provocation test," a term he coins on the spot to describe a technique for verifying whether moisture has truly been removed from a system by observing micron gauge behavior after applying external heat to cold-soaked components. This sparks a rich debate between Jim and Andrew about where moisture actually concentrates in a system — in the line set vs. the outdoor unit — and whether heat can realistically reach those areas in a real-world installation. The panel ultimately agrees that heat is the only viable tool when you absolutely must complete a job in cold conditions, but that prevention and scheduling remain the gold standard. The episode closes with a fascinating dive into the phase diagram of water, specifically the concept of the "triple point" and how it governs moisture behavior at low pressures. Andrew uses a whiteboard diagram to explain why, below 4,500 microns, moisture can only exist as vapor or solid — not liquid — and why that makes sublimation the only removal pathway when heat is absent. Jim adds nuance by describing the self-refrigerating cycle that occurs during deep vacuum pulls, a phenomenon that makes the problem progressively worse the deeper you pull without adding heat. The group wraps up with practical field takeaways and a promise to revisit the topic, including the potential role of nitrogen purging and triple-evacuation techniques in cold-weather scenarios. Topics Covered The rise of cold-climate heat pumps and why they demand refrigerant work during cold seasons Why evacuation becomes extremely difficult — or impossible — below 40°F ambient temperature The physics of moisture removal: heat energy, vapor pressure, and molecular movement Jim Bergmann's real-world demonstration pulling a vacuum to 135 microns on a wet system and still failing the decay test Andrew Greaves' "heat provocation test" — using external heat sources to verify dryness after evacuation The debate over where moisture concentrates: outdoor unit vs. line set Why mini-split manufacturers don't allow permanent desiccant dryers — and workarounds using temporary bypass configurations VRF systems and how shell dryers can be temporarily added and then removed post-evacuation The self-refrigerating cycle: how pulling a vacuum on ice makes the system progressively colder and more resistant to drying Phase diagram of water: the triple point (~4,580 microns) and why liquid water becomes unstable below it Why sublimation is the only moisture removal pathway below the triple point Gibbs free energy and its role in determining which phase (solid, liquid, vapor) a substance will occupy Hot nitrogen purging as a method for carrying moisture out of open line sets Push-pull recovery technique to maximize refrigerant removal in cold conditions The challenge of vapor recovery in cold weather — leaving multiple pounds of refrigerant behind Practical field solutions: insulated tarps, portable propane heaters, belly band heaters, heat guns Dry ice cold-trap brainstorm as a creative moisture capture method The dual-fuel argument: why Jim advocates for backup heating as the real long-term solution How rapid industry growth in the mid-20th century led to mechanics being trained instead of engineers, losing foundational science in the process Why this topic matters more now than ever as cold-climate compression refrigeration becomes mainstream   You can watch the original livestream on YouTube HERE.

Learn about Andrew Greaves non-traditional career journey that took him from building maintenance to Director of Education and Customer Experience for NAVAC Global: www.NavacGlobal.com   He received his HVAC training via Community College Night school but has self-taught in video and audio production.   Andrew suggests if you are looking for a mentor, perhaps you first start with a collection of virtual mentors sourced from social media: Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn   In our discussion he emphasizes there is no excuse for not learning in this trade- there are so many ways. He also notes key traits he has identified that helped in his career: integrity, authenticity, and communication.   Andrew suggests you be bold, put yourself out there, you may need to discover what you can do though trying out various aspects, perhaps learning or honing a skill.   He admits never saw himself in this role 5 years ago.   He also notes you may learn from some what you should do and from others what you should NEVER do.   Andrew suggests you leverage your experiences no matter how basic, by trying to perform the best at everything you do, never strop learning.   And that you may need to ask for help, so have the humility to do so.   And we close with his statement to keep your options open.

Next up in our Best Of series, we revisit an interview with Victoria's Auditor-General Andrew Greaves, and Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner Kristen Hilton, discussing the results of a VAGO survey of local government's handling of sexual harassment matters.

In today's podcast, Scott Krasman from TZOA, Andrew Greaves, and Kaleb Saleeby join Bryan for a conversation about mental health in the trades. We have a greater awareness of mental health than we ever did before, and although some of us may make fun of the topic, it is something we should focus on as HVAC technicians and business owners.   “Toxic” is a common buzzword these days, but it's relevant here. A work environment with toxic traits will wear you down over time as you are exposed to disillusioned or selfish journeymen or senior techs at work who disregard your wellbeing and development. Sadly, these behaviors often come from low morale and projection.   HVAC industry leaders can take strides by promoting a culture of inclusiveness and encouraging conversations about mental health. There is also an element of personal responsibility within techs to acknowledge if something is wrong and to have honest conversations with their leaders. As techs, we need to know when to ask for help if we need it. Leaders must also look at themselves and address their own mental health issues so that they don't project their issues onto others.   As techs, we need self-awareness and intentionality to address our mental health. We need to understand what's going on with ourselves (even if we need to talk to mental health professionals) so that we can take steps to get the support we need.   We also cover:   Helping younger techs grow  Growth and discomfort vs. abuse and suffering Training, communication culture, and workload What it means to be in a dark place and how to get out of it Opening up to others about our struggles Active recovery Relationship issues and addiction Self-diagnosis and misdiagnosis Executive functioning Technology for mental health Caring for your body   If you have an iPhone, subscribe to the podcast HERE, and if you have an Android phone, subscribe HERE.   Check out our handy calculators HERE.

The Victorian Auditor-General, Andrew Greaves, returns to VLGA Connect to talk about the findings and observations from recent audits, including now Councils are meeting their local roads obligations, the completed financial audits, and opportunities arising from the report on the activities of Service Victoria.

Victorian Auditor-General Andrew Greaves, and Commissioner for Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Kristen Hilton join us for an in-depth discussion about the findings of the VAGO audit of how sexual harassment matters are handled in the Victorian local government sector. The audit found that Councils do not provide workplaces that are free from sexual harassment. We discuss the recommendations, the implications for leadership in the sector, and how to raise the level of commitment to dealing with the issues.
