Good Day Today

[TechmanTerry]

Hay OP, just a few things. Those "inscribed tools " should not be "used" save them ,cherish them. You take them to work and , see you later.

Did your head fit thru the same door today,that it did several days ago???? LOLALOT

LOL.but how true,LOLALOT!!!

Even more astounding....Bob Guccione hadn't even started his magazine yet!

When I started doing mechanic work they hadn't even started publishing The Forum from the men's magazine.

I thought you were a Christian...why you are subscribed to gay men's publications?

I hear ya. I already have two pairs of lineman pliers; one my dad gave me that he has owned since I was a kid and I am 56 now.

Well my week got even better yesterday. I interviewed with a commercial refrigeration company and was offered a job, which I accepted. I have a couple more weeks of school left and another interview on the 25th with a large mechanical HVAC company.

The reason I want to keep the second interview is just to see what they are offering. I am fairly certain they will not beat what I got offered. Not to mention, the owner has been to the school and talked to us a few times but I get a strange vibe from him. He comes on really strong, too strong really. I have also seen a few reviews online from current and former employees that aren't that great. Of course you always have to take those with a grain of salt as it were.

And you were worried about getting a job.

I became a believer in 1993, at age 41.

The Forum I referenced was Bob Giorgione's forum. Not a gay magazine.

And no, I did not subscribe.

Congratulations Fender you are on your way. Always keep the basics fresh in mind and fall back on them anytime you get stumped because no matter how good you get you will get stumped.

Speaking of basics and a stumper. Let's see if Fender has been paying attention, or knows the answer:

Mr. Fender, how do you determine if a filter drier is restricted?

Check for temperature difference across the filter.

That only works after all of the subcooling is gone, which isn't always the case.

So, if you go behind someone who over charged the system because of low pressures, and you now have 45*F subcooling, you may never see a temp change.

Next idea?

This kid is smart BBeerme because before getting out of school he came here. He won't learn much from me but the refrigeration experience here is like finding an encyclopedia that thinks on it's feet.

[BBeerme]

Heh heh, yeah, what I'm trying to teach him above is something I learned on here. Never heard it any where else. It's a pretty cool concept that goes to the roots of the basics.

You said it best a while back BBeerme when you said collectively we know it all. He probably knows that by now.

[BBeerme]

Yes we do, and any tech that isn't taking advantage of that will be a lesser tech.

I'm pretty darn good at what I do, but there is a whole lot more that I couldn't answer the simplest question about.

I tried some engineering sites before coming here. The engineering sites got boring pretty quick because they are too into computer design and any goof ball can put date in a computer program especially when they were discussing pipe stress analyses. I'm not knocking the pipe stress programs but it doesn't make for very interesting conversation. I came here expecting low tech conversation but that it would at least be interesting. The level of knowledge here amazed me because it is not only in depth but at the same time interesting. There are also some good argument at times. Problems presented here are also interesting to see solved.

LOL, no.

Okay, I'll spill the beans.

What you do is remove some refrigerant to get the subcooling down to a couple of degrees, if the drier is restricted, NOW you'll get a temp drop across the drier.

Of course, that is the technique used when you don't have an access valve on both sides of the drier. Like most common package units, that only have a high side tap on the discharge of the compressor.

You see, you could have a huge pressure drop across the drier, but if you also have enough subcooling, then there will be no temp drop across the drier until there is no subcooling.

Pretty trippy, huh?
