A detailed look at the HVAC, cooling tower, and a few other nuggets at the psych ward

[@hawkeye454]

Alright boys gather round, this is gonna be good!! I love these videos.

[@Emergencylightingcollector42]

Same!!!

[@Dr.GeorgieDayZ]

I absolutely LOVE this channel, Keep the video's coming. This place is amazing. You should see if the generator works

[@Colby.Hutchinson]

To be honest, if you get a new fire panel all the cables going to sounders, pull stations and smoke detectors seem intact so maybe you can get that working and the fire department will like you lol

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

8:15 reciprocating compressors never fail to satisfy me

[@juniorelectrician2005]

That vintage dell in the room please I want that ;-; Its actually cool to see it sit there in what seems like good condition still heh

[@Purplerain.121]

My dude went from 1k subs all the way to 5.94k in a week thats insane

[@Mantis_Toboggan]

He is at 6.01k now

[@Fluffberymoff]

I have a big interest into HVAC and collect air vents and ducts so I really like this video

[@CALEBMAESTRO]

If/When you do restart the HVAC water loops, be aware that it’s typically a glycol/water mixture of about 30 percent glycol, especially in cold climates where water may circulate in unheated portions of the building.

[@NWIEA]

And keep in mind that there could be leaks almost anywhere lol

[@mxslick50]

The tank you're not sure of at 10:40 looks like an air trap it will help remove air from the recirculating water. Saw one like it at a hospital job I did (HVAC controls for Trane). Edit: In one of the other videos where you were turning on power, and #18 breaker tripped with a loud pop, I'm betting it is for the lights in that mech room, and you have a shorted ballast in one of the lights. Try turning off the light switch and resetting the breaker. If the breaker holds, turn on the switch while watching the fixtures. If the short is still there, the good lights will flash for a split second and the bad one won't.

[@ryanroberts1104]

You're giving me second thoughts about the school I'm trying to buy...

[@korneliusfrik9545]

You are what

[@MINEZ461]

Wonder how much copper was stolen, hopefully some of the valves are functional enough to have running water to parts of the building. It will fun to see the old plumbing functional ( I do understand that most of the building plumbing probably is unusable, but would like to see a small section working)

[@jaghifi]

I’m head maintenance for a facility with a water loop. And probably around 250-300 water source heat pumps. I keep the loop at 80 degrees year round.

[@cet80-]

I love these videos

[@robertmailhos8159]

Nice to see you have a fresh Air system for the Ward

[@madslapper7776]

Very nice, I love seeing the inner working of a building. Thanks for the video 👍🏼

[@teslapower220]

Interesting that the building has water-sourced heat pumps instead of fan coils with a central chiller/boiler plant given how old it is...

[@jreding132]

Yes, probably because the buildings era (1977) was in the energy crisis.

[@Truckguy1970]

Yes this is also called a geothermal heat pump. The electric boilers are for the heat assist in the wintertime.

[@BigAlsGarage]

Keep the video's coming, love it!

[@Theutmostgeek]

Thanks for making this. I was curious on how the whole thing worked for this building.

[@TotallyNormal-]

kinda nice most of the ceiling tiles have fallen out! makes for much easier visual inspection / tracing everything out!

[@korneliusfrik9545]

In my opinion it looks like shit because my school has the like vrid for it but no pannels in it and it looks really bad.

[@fullraph]

Would you give as tour of the roof? If you wanted to run one or two of the heat pumps on the ground floor near your quarters, you could run just the water pump so the cooling loop circulate. I'm sure it could easily sustain one or two units passively without running the cooling tower or boilers.

[@neohistoryfan1014]

that in-line duct fan was made by the Loren Cook company of Cleveland

[@MrCinimod93]

Our local auction house is a old 10 classroom school house they remove the oil fired boilers and installed a Wood-Fired boiler Wonder if you could heat a section of the building that way?

[@ab.3800]

any old networking gear?

[@korneliusfrik9545]

That would be sick

[@yyzkevin416]

6:20 some old computers, nice.

[@korneliusfrik9545]

I want treadmills lying around in germany lol

[@jreding132]

that black tank is an air seperator.

[@brandonstarr1427]

That other tank looks to be the air separator

[@lukasvincourcz7043]

i guess i'm third :D also interesting videos concerning this stuff

[@chevydmax237]

You have a lot of work to do

[@Blizz413]

you should get all of the hvac stuff running and working so your not cold.

[@chrisingle5839]

All it takes is MONEY to run it all.

[@LOCOLAPTOP]

Besides the money it would cost to restore the system with god knows how many leaks?

[@Blizz413]

@@LOCOLAPTOP yeah

[@ingenfestbrems]

1:21 dead body

[@jreding132]

you seem knowlegble in builing systems, is this your background?

[@GamrokFeddy]

I was thinking the same. He seems to know everything what he's doing.

[@tullyryan4053]

Just was wondering what is the final goal of the place for you. Do you wish to fix everything up?

[@itz_lexiii_]

He already made a video on this.

[@tullyryan4053]

@ oh ok I’ll look for it

[@korneliusfrik9545]

Please try out fhe dell pc

[@UlisesSanchezz]

7:51 are those 4-pin molex cables?

[@Hah-yourgone]

they look to be but just a bit thicker cables

[@korneliusfrik9545]

The one with the hwating grills could be newer from the design. Round corners and unpainted

[@alexbarger9808]

10:40 hydraulic separator

[@UlisesSanchezz]

you forgot about the corpse in the hallway

[@JeffGribble]

So did you buy this place or are you just the last guy around getting paid to keep an eye on the place???

[@Millatry-shovel-and-shotgun]

Could you try to run it in a vid

[@TheClayton306]

Thats a whole lot of money in power to fire it up i bet if you payed for the power he would

[@Millatry-shovel-and-shotgun]
