Another CVHE question

[FixItRight]

To the OP why has the lead tech not been on the phone with lacross since the issue started or have they?

I am not sure if he has talked with tech support or not. I will follow up if I hear anything. As of right now it is all quiet. Not that that means it is fixed.

For what it is worth I am an apprentice with Trane factory service and sometimes I don't feel like I get the best answers from some of the other technicians. Therefore I've come here seeking more understanding...but I have to get my post count up to post in the Pro Forums, right?

So you're an apprentice for the service agency that's a part of the same company that designed and manufactured the machine, with probably more than a handful of "seasoned" techs in your office, and you have to come to an open internet service forum to try and get answers as to why the chiller in question has a problem? Comment deleted for lack of civility Oddly enough, I know of another manufacturer with that same issue........

I think someone's going to end up getting called into the office for a little 'chat'.

...As an apprentice I ask a lot of questions and it is frustrating not being able to get answers from the older guys I work with. I don't think that anyone that I work with is too clear on what is going on with the chiller in question....

some techs will tell you to keep your mouth shut and your ears open....good advice.

i have seen some techs say that because they can't answer any questions because they don't know the answer and they are grasping at straws.

which camp are you in? you probably will never know. i hope that there is at least someone in your organization that will act like a true teacher....find them and ask lots of questions, but do your homework and be prepared to answer their questions when they are teaching you.

maybe a nun using a ruler on the knuckles....fear or fantasy?

too much?

Well the oil scavenger line from the evaporator is open about 1/8-1/4, I know that for sure.


I also know that the vent line solenoid is NO.


As far as I know before the overhaul the chiller had oil return problems, but I'm not sure what else was behind the decision to overhaul. I know that it is a bid job. We do not have a contract with the customer.

I agree that there are a lot of unknowns. I was hoping there might be an easy answer or something that would ease my mind about whether what I'll call the mechanical overhaul part was done correctly.

As far as water temperatures and flow, I think that it is possible that they might have something to do with the problem considering the cold oil temperatures and oil return problems that existed before the overhaul.

Regarding the open forum, I apologize for the depth that this is getting into.

i used to work for trane and left to work for JCI...everybody can just be quiet about that for awhile .

i really like trane equipment but the office i worked for wasn't working out for me anymore.

why are you so pissed at trane? every post is about shooting trane down. if you have a problem with the local office, then fine, some aren't so great to outside people. if you are ticked about the equipment, then fine, but give it a little rest here....we get it. post positive stuff. if you are going to post negative stuff, then be specific.

Just a few years ago he was looking to start his apprenticeship, now he's an expert and Trane is a POS......

Does it rhyme with JORK?

It shall remain a mystery except in the imaginations of those who know........

I haven't checked the forum in a couple of days. The responses to my thread really piled up.

I don't know every detail about the job in question and I don't have all the info that the older techs have at work.

I posted b/c I was interested in learning more about what I remember about the job and the concerns that I have about it. I appreciate the insight and thoughts with regards to what I posted.

Thanks
