Richard,

What brand are these mini splits? It is very interesting to see how things are done in other countries. Looks to me that this scaffold has to be disassembled before moving to next indoor unit. Was it to high to use ladders or safety regulations in UK require use of scaffolds?

[sigma]

I have checked your web site and found it very interesting. Looks like you use LG systems. Who makes them?

[ct_hvac_tech]

Barty,

I have never seen that type of split system before. Pretty interesting though.

I'd like to see the pics of the outdoor units.........are they the same as the ones in your first post?

Keep on posting buddy, this is cool that we have someone from overseas posting, like the other guy said, it's pretty fascinating seeing how things are done in other countries!

i just thought my pic's would give a different perspective to all that wind and tin you guy's favour ;-))


these are 4x LG 14kw cassettes

yes the scaffolding was a real pain. the lights were always in the bloody way :-/

we took the top section apart and moved it to the next location.not too much hassle once we worked out the best way of working

Besides I don't see how you could have done an install like this off ladders -nearly 6m to the concrete ceiling!!!!!!

I will find 'finished' pics and post ;-)

not a huge fan of LG but this is what was spec'ed

Daikin are quite far and away the best

cheers

I just checked out your web site. Interesting equipment, very different from what we are used to on this side of the pond. ;)

Hey Richard.

I want to say welcome, and nice to see someone over sea here.

Is there going to be a trim kit or something to finsh off the looks of the units and it's side?

Or are they planning on having a false ceiling put in?

[barty]

hi

yes there will be a facia that attaches to the face of each cassette.
no false ceiling is planned they're deemed high enough to not be a cosmetic challenge ;-)

the only possible addition would be to paint the sides a matching blue in my opinion

cheers

You are right. This is over 18 feet.

[mayguy]

I just looked at your web sight.. Good job!

Was looking at the pix, and I noticed on the Dr. Office, the outdoor unit disconnect is a red button? How do they work?

[serviceguy]

We put in a Samsung cassette that looked very similar in a hospital server room a while back. It was a neat little system...

[serviceguy]

Your site also has some cool free hvac software

[lowtemp]

richard,
does your software come in imperial measurement as well?

[lowtemp]

oh yeah,
just curious where you will be running your condensate lines to? I assume the condensing units are on the roof?

[barty]

the website is all the work of our technical manager Marc o'brien
he built and maintains the site. he also writes a lot of the software that's available (and a lot that isn't;-)

i doubt if the imperial versions are available as we have no need for them..

the cassettes have an internal lift pump for the condensate which will raise the water to 500 mm above the units. this is sufficient to allow us to run the pipes along the beams next to each unit. then out and down

the fridge pipes run with the condensate (all in 4 inch white pvc trunking) out and up to the roof.

this was felt the best option as not to breach the roof.

cheers

This is some really some great stuff. I'm getting a vocabulary lesson here too :D

"Fridge pipes"

Nice job. Glad I didn't have to help you. If I was that many meters up there, I'd be wearing a parachute :D

[Freezeking2000]

I have posted and conversed with Marc at his web site back 7 years ago i think. He is one of the most brillient refrigeration men in the world!

He had the first HVAC TALK type of furum on the net!
