Supermarket Refrigeration: Fire!! Huge flare up during compressor change out!

[@johnstrh1]

prepping the next piece while stuff is on fire is definitely something you only see in the supermarket world lmao. good stuff dude

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Sometimes it has to be done. Lol. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisconklin873]

flameout and then all you hear is "Fuck" definitely in our supermarket world. I busted out laughing because that is exactly what I would have said.

[@filanfyretracker]

I once got to see in the refrigeration room of a supermarket and now I know why I thought the compressors looked like little engines. They are basically similar design right down to having a head gasket.

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Yessir! It is another type of engine. Appreciate you watching.

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

100% agree!

[@minibikemadman]

I worked in a supermarket for 15 years as a seafood managers...sucks ass when the coffin cases iced over or a compressor dropped out.

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Yes Sir. I agree

[@ReferBoyz]

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Will do! I appreciate it.

[@stephenbullock-yn3vh]

@SupermarketRefrigeration I appreciate you getting back to me on that issue and I enjoyed your video I'm subscribed to your channel

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

@@stephenbullock-yn3vh I don't like wearing glasses. And we always have a fire extinguisher on hand.

[@craigs3183]

There's a fire extinguisher on the wall by the electric box

[@Tom-em3dv]

Very cool 😮

[@tomoliver8498]

I have a squirt bottle full of water ready every time I use my torch just in case something catches fire. Saved me many times

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

@tomoliver8498 that's a nice idea 👍🏻

[@JimmyFixIt16]

Oil fire means no water

[@johnwalker890]

I would recommend having a fire extinguisher, just in case the fire travels, or bucket of water......

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

I agree Sir! Although the fire was caused by oil, so I wouldn't put water on it. But we always have a fire extinguisher with us.

[@Paulclark865]

Had visions of that compressor pinning you to the floor😂.Hate brazing in those tight spots I always try to cut the whole piece out and prep it on the bench but sometimes you just got to get in there and cause a bit chaos.Cant wait for part 2👍🏻

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

@Paulclark865 😂😂 sometimes it just has to be done. I appreciate the support!

[@gr82becool]

Well you out did yourself once again on another fine video. Love how you handled that oil flamethrower that came at you. You did not even flinch . Can wait for the EMS boards and controls video.

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Thank you brother. I learned from the best. Just gotta let it burn.

[@Richard-zz2cb]

15:50 the fire alarm caught me off gauge 😂

[@kingofthecrease30]

at what point do they replace that 30+ yr old pile of trash unit instead of rebuilding it every few years ? i know its a big unit and alot of $$ but the govt wants energy efficient stuff now with modern technology

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Man I'm with you. Every year I recommend units for replacement, and every year I end up repairing them. They're getting better at replacing stuff, but like you said, it takes time.

[@tedhicks5431]

Gotta keep politicians back pocket happy

[@TVwatcher-ic3ne]

Killer thumbnail! Sure is easier to hear you without all that compressor noise too.

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

@@TVwatcher-ic3ne thank you! Don't worry I got a sweet microphone just for that reason.

[@bearb1asting]

Well, lesson learned I guess.

[@throttlebottle5906]

how's the eyebrows and facial hair? 🤣 whoosh!

Decided to go bald! 😂

[@bert1913]

Using chrome sockets with an impact driver is not a good idea

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Lol thanks bud.

[@czechmate6916]

Did you make a wish when you blew out the fire?? Been there done that more than once and I always wished I would get the fire out without creating more work. 🤣 That was from when Carrier made good stuff. Not so much anymore.

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Ill have to make a wish next time. Lol

[@czechmate6916]

@@SupermarketRefrigeration 🤣👍 Your channel came across my feed a bit ago and I subscribed. I’m retired now never did any supermarket refrigeration just HVAC and walk- ins and reach- ins. I will have to look at some of your other videos.

[@MyCracker1234]

I agree, the only reason I knew he swore is because of the comments section, I had to go back and watch it again to hear that it was said....Music drowned out everything.

[@dr9759]

what causes flare ups like that? Im new to supermarket refrigeration and would like to avoid this lol

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Oil in the lines. That's the worst one I've had blow out on me. It's impossible to avoid it completely. Biggest thing is just staying calm and letting it burn.

They did, you can hear them after the 15:00 mark...

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Not sure if it was us, but the fire alarm did go off shortly after. We weren't told anything about it 🤷‍♂️

[@steveofire56765]

"Yes, a test of your smoke alarms was part of the service. Nothing to see here" Nice work! How heavy is that compressor?

[@SupermarketRefrigeration]

Probably a couple hundred pounds. Heavy enough to need a hoist. Lol

this wouldnt happen to have been a kroger would it?

[@jeremiahsanders12]

Are you a Kroger tech?

[@TheRussianPootis]

@@jeremiahsanders12 was this store #429

[@TheRussianPootis]

@@jeremiahsanders12 the mechanical room ur working on looks like the store i use to work in. before i became a commercial technician i worked as meat cutter/manager at kroger, i remember specifically the rack room right across looks just like the one i use to work on when i was a meat cutter (the techs were spread thin so we started doing it ourselves with guidance). That wouldnt have been a carrier SCU? Carlyle semis? I use to take a nap on break right next to one eerily similar to that. There was a beer rack on the left of the stairwell u had to go up to get to the SCU
