All I can say is POW.

Home owners will change air filters? I guess you learn something new every day!

Been a long time since I posted.... I recently changed careers from industrial ammonia refrigeration to market refrigeration, and would like to thank all the members of this site for helpful...

Why are most of Paris' streets lined with beautiful trees?

Industrial Ice Machine = any evaporator with a bad defrost regulator! I haven't had much experience with ice machines, but the operator school I went to had all of their test systems set up on...

A 1" steam whistle is funny as hell! (did this one for Halloween)

Worked with a guy that could rig a piece of cellophane in a defrost vent that would create the most irritating whine...never could get it to work myself, though.

Guess I get the worst of both worlds....Work on a valve group on roof (98 degrees, 88 percent humidity), then go inside freezer to check unit operation (-15 degrees, 30 feet in the air, not sure of...

I am unfamiliar with the particular model, but have seen the slide STOP creep around on a frick compressor. But one in the same, slide stop and slide valve are on the same cylinder plane! I have...

These units are very loud. We were required to take dB readings to determine where hearing protection was required...Most machine rooms are 120-130dB (with multple units running). 30,000 hours...

The basic layout of a Frick rotary screw compressor package. Compressor is oil injected so it discharges through an oil seperator to remove oil from the...

I posted some info and pics in the R-717 thread about this compressor and the rest of this system...this is actually just a compressor, the large vessel is the oil separator. This machine room has 9...

Didn't they offer refrigerated compartments in the console of toyota mini vans?

In my experience and opinion Infinity will give the best sound quality in factory mounting locations, but they are pretty expensive. Sony's XPlod speakers seem to do fairly well also, and are a...

I have heard that a 15x15 was manufactured, but haven't seen one myself...The old Frick VSA was a bulletproof machine (literally) I have operated several 11x11 and 10x10 machines. VSA compressors are...

Mine are Red Kap too, but made in The Dominican Republic!
I wear them under my Refrigiwear parka and Pants!

Something I read on this site comes to mind: "I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was going to BLAME you!". This was someones tagline...Hope it ain't copyrighted!

It is really easy to learn about refrigeration when you can walk around (and sometimes crawl into) the equipment. The only catch is that all of the systems are one-of-a-kind. If someone lets a hack...

I prefer facilites maintenance because there's more fun stuff to do, like playing with the fire pump!

Sulphur sticks make ya gag worse than the ammonia!

All of our systems use automatic refrigerated purgers, but from time to time we'll still have to "blast one off". The last one I had to deal with was a system that was shutting down on high...

gone404, what is this condenser servicing? We have several evapco condensers and none of them look like they have enough support on the cooling water feeds, but we haven't had any problems with them.
