Sometimes he looks like one too!!! But I do not employ them for their looks???
So what is the cause of the corrosion? Is there any water treatment in the chilled water circuit. If little or none you will need more than expoy to protect the tube sheet. Try adding anodes to the...
Just so that we are talking about the same machine is the CGAE a 2 circuit, reciprocating air cooled chiller with up to 2 comps per circuit? If so has it a RCM control module?
A lot of Trane screw machines have a built in freeze protection where if the entering water temperature of the evaporator is cooler than the leaving and the chiller is enabled it will fail.
In my...
Here, here, no truer words ever said
Like I preach down under.........a monkey can rebuild a chiller........it takes a technician to find the cause of the failure. My team and I are not doing this as a job but a passion. To be a true...

If the evaporator is oil logged then the oil mixed with the refrigerant will be at the bottom of the evaporator where the refrigerant is pooled. If the liquid entering the evaporator has that much...
Like my name implies I luv gear-drive chillers made by Trane. So much so that I have been working on them for over 30 years. I have seen chiller running for 15 years without a rebuild. Trane built...
Being from down under,Trane never took back the tanks as there was nowhere, where the gas could be recovered....... Until service first released a regeneration kit where the cylinder is heated to...
Low discharge superheated indicates liquid carryover. Problem is the unit is fitted with a falling film evaporator and it is impossible to get a liquid carryover from the evaporator and therefore...
In your first statement you said the machine lost 300 lbs of refrigerant. This would indicate the leak is on the high side of the machine where ever the refrigerant was positive. If on the low side...
I too am an ex-trance employee and cannot use Birdview anymore but then again I do not need it. You have all you need on your computer. When you connect to a chiller CH-530 automatically saves 2...
