squonk 38,569 #1 Posted August 18, 2017 1 week to go on the old job. This is for @WHX12 & @ACman ! 90 + degrees today with the dewpoint over 70! we had a big power outage in the morning and even the transfer switch breakers tripped so even some of the emergency power didn't happen. Took a few hours to get it all back up and running. Enjoy the short videos. Be sure to wear hearing protection!

Trane 350 ton absorption chiller with 2 Cleaver Brooks boilers feeding steam: Music to my ears!

Yes it seems I too am constantly fighting someone in Purchasing, I mean Supply Management , no I mean Supply Chain or whatever their fancy title is this month! that doesn't understand the headaches that comes from combining parts of every color. I mean it's as bad as mixing green, yellow & red parts 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,404 #11 Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks Mike, although I am EPA certified in chillers I haven't worked on any since my submarine days. Does bring back some R-114 & lithium bromide memories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burnerman 758 #13 Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) @squonk I got a chance to watch the vids. Lol. That equipment is so new! Lol. I’ll have to take some short vids. Lol. I’ve got 2 belt drive blowers on 2 air handlers that I can see light thru the blower wheel vanes. They’d rather spend the money elsewhere. I just do my best to keep the **** going.

The only new thing in the video is the McQuay chiller. 6 yrs. old now. The big Trane RTAA is from 89. I started working there 19 years ago and the Absorber and Trane 100 ton were worn out then and still going. Absorbers are going obsolete and parts are scarce. The electrics on the 100 ton look like the dad from A Christmas Story wired it. Wish I took a pic of the control box. I'm told a Trane guy was there 2 weeks ago working on it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
