Yup, I used to work for JCI. Work for Trane now, let's just say JCI f%$%ed up on this job. I was brought in to fix there issues. Had all the NAE and FEC controllers. My time with Johnson was...

Is this taking place in a school in Nebraksa?

You need to do a complete running log of the machine. Could be a ton of different things!

yup! They are one in the same. But I think the TR1's are just a little better.

I agree with you jayguy. Adaptaview rocks!!

Excellent idea, why didn't I think of that!

Trane is making us go to the new uniforms. I look forward to wearing them up on a roof in 100 degree heat. I'll be safe from an arc flash, but I'll keel over from dehydration! Why are they taking...

I think that there are still some out there. In my office there is no one that just specializes in centrifugals. I work on anything from centrifugals, water-cooled, air-cooled, RTU's, to water...

Unions? Who needs unions!! Hehe!!

Find the leak(s) and get you a Trane Earthwise Purge. It's the best purge on the market, hands down.

Enjoying going to your job is slowing coming to an end. As far as I know all the uniform and handheld is coming from coporate Trane. I really don't want see how I.R. is going to run things. If...

yeah!!!

Thanks!!

I am pretty sure this particular valve does not have an internal check valve for large commercial heatpump applications. Considering what my suction pressure is doing in heating mode. Is there...

I would go with a Trane CVH model. 600 tons, that is a ton of refrigerant. High pressure just don't cut it on effiecency. Trane is coming out with a new CH530 platform called the Adapt-A-View. ...

Guys, you know the whole Trane - IR thing really makes me nervous. Just seeing the York - JCI ordeal doesn't help matters. I really hope IR doesn't make a mess of things. Only time will tell -...

Well, it is what it is. Guess I'll just have to sit back and see how things turn out. Trane so far has been a pretty decent place to work, I guess I will just hope for the best and hopefully IR...

Anybody have any more thoughts on what is going to happen to Trane after the sale to IR which is going to happen? I know there is already a thread on this, just wanting some more discussion.

Does anyone work for IR? Just trying to get a feel as to what IR is going to do to Trane. My gut feeling is things might go down hill, I hope I am wrong!

I've said it once and I will say it again: "Fieldpiece are for amatuers, Fluke's are for professionals. Enough said!

I've heard just the opposite. Ever since American Standard became Trane and split it's other two companies they have got abunch of extra money sitting around that they must get rid of. I predict...

Has anybody ever changed out a oil pressure regulator "on the fly". This is on a duplex machine. Circuit two will be in a deep vacuum, anybody have any issues with trying to accomplish this with...

Thanks for you input. I kind of figured that to be the case.

I have a 100 ton split system hooked to a 15000 cfm MAU unit. Coil design is 95.0 DB and 55.0 DB. It's making the delta T., but my suction pressure are very low, like 50 and 60's. Granted this...

That's an interesting question, indeed!

Have an old R-11 CVHE which is now having high head problems. Running at about 8 psi, I know all the reasons that could cause this prolem. Did the temp-pressure chart deal, saturated cond. liquid...

The hvac field is one of the most challenging trades, I feel, a person can get into. A two year associates degree should definately give you head start of someone with no experience. But what you...

Use these, atleast you will have something concrete to show the customer when you have to replace the control. Hopefully...

I am not very sure about this company. It just depends on what you want to do. I actually went through the interview process with them and they offered me a job. I did turn it down, though. My...

I just got done starting about twelve of them up.The only problem I had where I had some type of main power problem to the whole building and a messed scrambled the rtrm boards up and 3 of the 12...

Each part of the county is a little different. But when I got out of trade school it was in December. I got snatched up immediately even though it was in the the middle of winter. That was back in...

If you want a tough pair of boots, Doc Martins steel toes are probably the toughest boot I've ever worn. But they are not overly comfy. Had to buy different liners for being on concrete 10 yours a...

Don't know exactly what you're looking for, but here's a short one at the Johnston boiler web site.

I remember very well what it was like being the rookie. I went through vo-tech back in 1999. I got hired on by a commercial HVAC company right out of school. I was the top student in my class, the...

To all you professional boiler/burner service tech's. Do any of you guys currently hold positions with companies that do not require extensive travel. I understand that is the nature of the...

No, No, that's not right. I heard that Home Depot is trying to buy Honeywell, after Honeywell buys out American Standard.

A rumor is just that, a rumor!

You know, with any career or job, you have the good and the bad. This industry is overall I feel pretty good. If you are motivated and really want to learn, the sky is the limit. I actually left...

You know, r-22 is ok. But if your really want to full effect, try r-123. Jee whiz guys, lighten up! Don't worry, be happy!!

I used to work for a company up in Mankato, called Paape Distributing Co. If you look at there website http://www.paape.com under employment they are wanting a HVAC service technician. They are a...

You know, HVAC DDC overall is not to difficult of a concept to understand. Once you learn the basics of analog and binary input/outputs and how everything jives together, it's not too bad. I was a...

Well, I didn't have the best experiences at JCI. I was under undue stress from the beginning. I had a STS who pretty much sucked. I worked with a senior tech who was a control freak and wouldn't...

Hmmmmmm? I have never seen that. I have worked on my fair share of boilers and burners. I am sure someone here knows whats it is all about. Just a wild guess, but I bet they put it there to keep...

Well, I am an ex-system rep 2. It has been over 2.5 years since I have worked at JCI. It seems like things are changing a lot there, and I am not sure if the systems reps of yesterday have the same...

Well, I don't want to dish out the money for one, but I am sick of wearing my others bags out. On the tune of one per year. It would be nice to have something last five years.

I work with a guy who is getting ready for retirement after 40 plus years in the trade also. The knowledge that these guys have is unreal. I think they all should write books on there experience. ...

Fresh air is used for many different applications. Usually building codes require a minimum O.A. Typical damper settings are from 10-20%. Buildings use fresh air for free cooling in the winter...

I may be a litte biased, but I say if your getting Trane chillers, stick with Trane controls. Just my opinion!

You know I always thought it was when you hooked up a megger and you tried to determine how many megabytes are contained in the compressor.

Seriously, it's a procedure to test the insulation of...

I agree with all the above. Besides doing all of the above, another critical part of ddc comissioning is making sure the as-builts are accurate. That means making sure the controls work as stated...
