[@djcode4714]

It’s very cool to watch you. Do what you do. I learn a lot just by watching keep it up.

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@EverythingHVACR]

Interesting stuff, thanks, Subcool!

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks Steve, appreciate you!

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

Continental makes the best quality belts. Good choice there. Thanks for showing us the plant....and you are correct...it may look daunting to a newbie.....but the process is very simple. Great video as always

[@subcoolHVAC]

We can request any parts but what we get is up to procurement, Thanks Jason, enjoying your videos 👊👍

[@dancigalotti]

Great video as always!

[@subcoolHVAC]

Hey Dan 👊 Thanks, hope all is well!

[@princesswalt4010]

I love the sound of a screw in the morning! lol. I had a temporary air cooled chiller on a trailer in front of my building for nearly a year while my hvac plant was reconstructed, and you could clearly hear those compressors from across a busy 4 lane blvd mid day. Total screamers!

[@subcoolHVAC]

Ha, they do sound nice starting up but after that get the plugs out 🎧 Thanks for commenting 👍

[@Ericbakereb1]

Thanks for the video SC. I thought it always rained in Florida, on and off every 5 mins 😂

[@subcoolHVAC]

It rains a lot especially Summer but we pay for this weather down here 😎

[@ccthepope]

Thanks for the great explanation on the water circuit! 3.1 k subs!

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks, I appreciate all the support 💯👊

[@thesilentonevictor]

Great skillset

[@subcoolHVAC]

👍👍 Thanks Silentonevictor !!

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. Thank you for sharing. What is cooling tower, Does cooling tower work in winter ? Does cooling tower generate heat in winter ?

[@subcoolHVAC]

The cooling tower works year round here, it removes conducted heat (transferred to water) from the condenser barrel and in this tower conduction/ convection and evaporation complete the heat transfer.🔄🔥💦💨

Nice work Subcool.

[@subcoolHVAC]

Hey Steven 👍👍

[@jonnymac31]

Right on, man

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks jonnymac 👍

[@sterlingarcher46]

Hey I'm curious to know , i didn't see a decoupling tank between primary and secondary?

[@subcoolHVAC]

It’s there over the other Secondary pump near the MCC , Thanks for asking 👍

[@HEFTYLEFTY303]

My man subcooler

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks HEFTLEFTY 👊

[@baniguy]

How do I get a start on becoming a chiller tech? Im currently doing light commercial HVAC/R and I have my universal EPA, No other licensing.

[@subcoolHVAC]

I started with a journeyman license and Universal EPA. 👍 check out The Chiller Guys channel

[@mikemorassi210]

Do you have any pump/motor alignment videos?

[@subcoolHVAC]

Check out this video 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqOUhap5a5eegbcsi=rDdNEkn-GvPV7VZR

Hi Subcool, Can you explain why big boxstore like Walmart and Home Depot use rooftop package units. I counted 9 units on the roof of Home Depot. Won't it be easier to use one chiller than multiple rooftop units. I would assume a single chiller would use less electricity than multiple roof units. Thanks....

[@subcoolHVAC]

My best guess comes down to cost to build and maintain, RTU’s are more practical for service leaving room below for more merchandise and uninterrupted business. Thanks for the question 👍

[@DMTW]

Thanks for your explanation, it makes a lot of sense. 🙂

[@perryraybuck1239]

nice!

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks Perryraybuck 👍

[@lilpbass]

So are you staff at this facility or a contractor?

[@subcoolHVAC]

Long term Contracted employee, also state licensed contractor 👍

[@Menik559]

Stupid question here 🤚🏽. What heats the building?

[@subcoolHVAC]

They have electric heaters in the ductwork or at the VAV’s depending on the building application. AC is used mostly here. Thanks for asking!

[@Menik559]

That is so cool! I can't wait to move up to these monster units one day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@subcoolHVAC]

@@Menik559👍 There’s plenty of work out there, all the best!

[@joshstevens9826]

YR stands for why are you still running this chiller.

[@subcoolHVAC]

Water cooler chillers get replaced around 20yr here 👍
