My suggestion: bring the person that smells the gas outside. Crack a union, slightly and have them take a whiff, make sure it's gas that he/she actually smells. It's a little unoethodox, but if...

theres is also a chance that the pilot is weak and not reaching the burner when when the valve energizes.

Any licensed refrigeration mechanic can do it, they teach us how to wire a freezer in trade school. The only tricky part I found was trying to keep the "evap fan off when the door is open" feature. ...

Those microprocessors are expensive and cheap...if you know what I mean. They will work for about a year or so, then start doing the same thing. I've had the same problem in the past, where the...

I'm not sure if it was a koldpak, but I got to cut one out once on a Saturday night emergency service call once. It was leaking and tightening it only meant I'd be fixing it again. The freezer was...

try the residential forum, you may have better luck.

That was the only conclusion I could come up with too. It's just strange that BOTH circuits are doing it. I'll pump one down, replace the drier, evacuate and test again. Thanks for the input guys.

The system is a 50 ton refer unit with r22. Each circuit is independent with 25hp semis. Both have sight glasses that are flashing. Both have 15F subcooling. How is this possible? I took the...

Just a thought...Is the new motor a condenser fan motor? Sometimes they will have all the same data, but will overheat as they are an "air-over" motor. This meaning that they use the air drawn...

hey Dave..
I appreciate your insight on this subject. No worries though, I never once took anything he said to be factual. You're obviously well trained in this trade and I think everyone who...

My GUESS is: the nickel is worn off of the evap and the ice is sticking to it during harvest.

Thanks guys...and er ..uh "2 seasons employed" for your responses!
I installed the unit today and used 404, almost a full jug!
It is working great. I'm going to check on it tomorrow just to...

Hey Lusker...thanks for the reply
The compressor comes with POE oil in it already. The unit has all the bells and whistles for low ambient capacity control too. I was just curious what some guys...

I'm installing a new air cooled 5hp outdoor condensong unit with capacity control tomorrow. It was originally a water-cooled 3hp unit, that had R408 dropped into it about 4 years ago. The condenser...

looks like a 5-ton armstrong, i think the 15 is actually 150, indicating the heating capacity in btu's

I know we're not supposed to ask about wages...but I'm curious if the wages in BC are comparable to Ontario. Could someone please give me a link to a website, I'm having trouble finding the info. ...

Ok, so you think after defrost, the system is flooding liquid, washing out the oil and failing on oil pressure? That makes sense to me, except the high discharge temp. Could you explain that one?...

They only run the blast in critical times, like this, it rarely runs. Sometimes when they are doing a lot of production and they are in and out of it, they will run it too. They have a temp....

Well, he said they were both tripped all three times and they were both tripped today. I got to believe it's an oil problem and not a compressor problem at this point. I'm thinking piping may be a...

Ice...
Thanks for the reply...

Pumpdown lpc are working.
Contactors are good, oil failure is 240 volt, inseries with coil, compressor is 600volt
Watched both compressors for 3 hours, with a...

Two carlyle 06d compressors twinned together with a common oil line between them. The application is a walk-in freezer maintaining below 0F using R507 & POE oil. Thermostat/defrost control is a...

There are two 3000lb Maja units and one 3000lb Howe I was told they were 25 hp, the model # are 06ey450-140. I'ts working great now with both of them working. Thanks for the input!

Why are you replacing it? I've pulled them out and repaired leaks, replaced motors and cleaned them before.

Wow R12, I think you covered all the bases! The only thing I could add to that is...are you sure the time clock is working? Set it to the exact time next time you're there, and come back again at...

Yeah, it makes 9000lbs/day!
