Got a call today about a liquid level alarm on the receiver, and when I arrived it was really low sitting at about .5%. Checked the graph on the LL and it was fluctuating between .5% and 1% since...

I worked as a maintenance guy in apt. complexes right after I got out of school, and I can vouch for this being pretty standard. I remember in one the maintenance supervisor asked me "hey uh you went...

I had one just like this the other day except they were pckg units on the roof. Solid sheet of crap on every one of them, and I wondered how on earth they managed to get any air.

I thought this was a joke, but then did a search and actually came up with copper glue.

Thats terrible.... lol. :gah:

That's a new one to me, and it would be one heckuva sight.

I had to do quite a few very old package units at my last job, and pulling the charge and weighing back in really is the best way. Just don't be like my dumb self... I found a massive leak on the...

This was back in Jan. of '07 so I do not remember much about it, but I do remember that the problem with him was that "YOUR TAKING TO F***KING LONG!".

It was crazy.

I have since moved on and...

Well I still have had no luck at tracing down the problem since the equipment in question is not accessible without an escort, but I already fixed it the best way I know how at this time.

I found some information out today on the eth link and I am working with the others on trying to figure out what is talking to the BCU.

All I know for sure is that it's nothing on my end, and it...

I should have been more clear on my reply.

Yes I think it is another device that is attached to the BCU through the ethernet cable running from the wall. I have no access to said ethernet and...

That's actually why I am writing this.

I think its someone from the site trying to control the system, but I have to make sure it's not something I am doing before I point the finger of doom....

We only have two users set up on the system and one has only read privileges.

It shows up as Custom Programming ( lvl 16 ) and the user shows up as Incoming Request Server.

EDIT: I'm the only...

I am having an issue with some of our BCU's and thought someone might enlighten me as to what they think this could be.

The problem is that last week I came in and three or four of my BCU's had a...

Ok I know my post was confusing, but that was due to the fact that I was rather confused myself. hehe.

This was the first walk in freezer I have had an electrical problem with so this was pretty...

Across the plug I am getting 178v which is 30v below where it should be.

My problem is the one leg off the two legs inside. The one is 120v but the other is 90v which is a perfect 30v drop.

Got a walk in freezer with a fan not functioning.

The fan is 208/240 1/20th HP and when I test the line dropping down into the evaporator it is 178v for both legs and 120v / 90v when I test them...

Still got your info =)

:mad:

Trust me when I say that it is not the maintenance guys decision whether or not to do the work, and if it was you would not be on this board running your mouth.

I hate it when they call...

I run a central plant consisting of the items I listed above, plus a ton of air handlers / VAVs / package units etc...

Most of my time is spent behind a computer or doing PMs on these systems.
...

I would not object to a maintenance position as long as I got some hands on time with the equipment rather than contracting everything out.

Nothing will kill my spirit faster than having to call...

Looking to move to the Granbury area in the near future, and was wondering if there was much in the way of jobs in the area?

Right now I'm working for a company running four 2k ton chillers, steam...

Well I am still a newbie as I have only been in the HVAC field for about two years, and I can honestly say I still got a whole lot to learn... so I'm not sure how much you can gleen from thirty days.

Popped you an email. :)

Seems we are working on some very similar equipment ... now I know who to ask all the questions too. :D

I understand what he meant.

You cannot teach people who do not want to learn... and if you try they will accuse you of being a "know it all smartass" and then start gunning for you.

If someone...

Working for another hotel actually... except now I am not actually working maintenance but actually as a plant operator for the chillers and boilers.

Thanks for the advice also! They are...
