3 rules to living a long time while working with electrical disconnecting apparatus.... 1. Always wear gloves when opening ir closing breakers or disconnects 2. Always look away from any breaker or disconnect whe closing or opening 3. If you are dealing with a breaker that is big enough that it has to be racked in - always always rack the breaker in with your back to it and always always stand to the side of the breaker. Lots of times these big breakers are electrically operated and as you rack them in they have electric motors that cock closing and tripping springs- all it takes is one small failed part in the breaker winding or tripping mechanism for the breaker to wind up and trip closed while your racking it in. Its a bad day when the breaker fails and gets into this wind up trip closed cycle.. there is nothing you can do but run away and find another breaker further up stream. In my 40 year work history as a commercial electrician working in very large switch gear rooms and with power distribution and generation I have witnessed a few of these failures - that is why I offer this little warning - I see lots of these service guys opening and closing breakers and disconnects all the time bare handed standing right in front of it. Take it from an old man that managed to make it so far through life with all his fingers hands and eyes ... shit happens but you dont have to be standing in it when it does... everybody think and be safe

My corner bar doesn't use chillers as you worked on. I just made them a stainless steel box 24''X 42" and ran copper tubing back and forth in it. They use ice in it, filling it a couple times a day. Coldest beer I 've ever sipped. Poor Mans Chiller.

the only problem with that, how warm does the beer get in the lines before it gets to the chiller box of ice? a lot of places use a cold block in a cooler or refrigerator somewhere near the bar. usually just a block of aluminum with stainless tubes ran inside. it chills the beer in a flash, but often ends with foamy beer. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I really don't like these cheaper methods, because they often don't work well. if it does work well, that's great, keep doing it. but don't let customers suffer from poorly chilled beer, give them a good product they'll enjoy.

Biggest difference is that on the beverage systems you are chilling carbonated water and syrup lines that will be mixed at the machine. Pressure is higher on the post mix machines vs beer systems that need aligal to keep the lighter beers from carbonating. Most beer systems are running 25psi vs 100psi carb water and 50psi syrup for post mix. Does that make sense?

Engineers also value feedback, if there are design alterations in the field you'd like to see changed or frustrating tasks, call up the company, explain that you are looking to provide feedback on some design choices, and people are happy to give a direct email to the head in charge of the engineering teams. Admittedly, sometimes it can be hard for an engineer to evaluate every scenario, and having direct feedback from technicians is welcomed.

@@TickyTack23 This is so true. A design will pass through multiple teams hands. It isn't that the engineers don't care. It's that teams work in silos and don't see the entire birds eye view of how everything is put together. If you suggest the fix to them, they will likely stick it on their continuous improvement list. Reliability and ease of service becomes a marketing point. At the company I work for, we bend over backwards to make sure the equipment is serviceable (at least for our product line) We like feedback because we like happy customers.

I keep a few of each NTC and PTC probes on the van, they are really cheap, doesn't matter if they are a different brand to the controller so long as they are the right type. Also as a temporary 'fix' you can usually adjust the offset for the probe in the settings so it reads right on the display (though the probe can continue to drift and make the offset inaccurate)

@44R0Ndin
@44R0Ndin 4 жыл бұрын
The problem isn't the glycol freezing, instead it's the beer that would freeze first. With the small alchohol content of most beers (typically under 10%), the beer has a higher freezing point than the glycol. So the glycol can cool the beer below it's freezing point, the beer freezes in the tap lines, and then you get no/foamy beer to the taps. No beer happens when the line is totally frozen, and Foamy beer happens if the line is only partially frozen. The flow restriction of a partially frozen line would cause a pressure drop which makes the beer foam up due to the carbonation.

One of my fears used to be that while we'd found the first leak easily (*), the next one would be (was?) camoflaged when we couldn't/didn't get the dye off of the primer-painted framework/structure. (*) I didn't know there was something that *could* leak until somebody actually mentioned that they had to keep refilling the resivor to prevent it from making an "infuriating racket" when asked how their hands got stained. Guy was good enough to always include the dye in the recipe (in the manual/worksheet) but splotches of dye seeped everywhere other things lower on the same supports went. I started to paint over parts of it w/ some left-over paint, before noticing the dye was coming/(showing?) through, and things cascaded from there as *everybody* had a turn trying anything other than cleaning up the previous attempt and waiting for a concealing layer of paint to dry. [ :/ ] I don't think anybody updated the worksheet to include reporting/recording when the resivoir was topped off. Fortunately I went back to school before that could become my problem. I was just there for the comms wiring.

Also you could have a potentiometer or some resistors handy with the corresponding resistance values for certain temperatures to see if the display shows the correct value! I used to have dummy resistors handy, if for example motor temp sensor were shot so you could still let it run for a while till you get the temp sensor

i did the move from being a building engineer to full blown HVAC/R 2 years ago, the first couple of months were a struggle due to having to be more precise and faster on diagnosing and repairing equipment. After 2 years of being in it i still struggle everyday but i feel more comfortable troubleshooting and doing repairs. i gotta say it was a really good decision on my part i wouldn't trade the knowledge and experience i acquired for anything.

Ran into issues with these freezing around the heat exchanger. It was usually due to the glycol/water ratio being out of specification. This happens, often enough, when glycol distributors are repaired and the unit is "topped-off" with water. Use glycol refractometer and verify fluids are of proper percentage.

I had a similar call recently. I adjusted the controller to compensate for the differential in temperature until the part came in. Please video changing the probe as there is a trick to doing it without leaking out all of the glyco

So was that sensor a positive or negative? Some I've found are either depending on the year made from suppliers. This is something to watch out for. Good stuff Chris. Have a great night.

if you are leaving the parts in the unit, do you tag them as "spare" so if someone else ever came along they would know why it's their and not assume its a bad one from a previous lazy tech or wonder what is going on?

Here you some info on brass stainless steel interacting, Connecting stainless steel plumbing pipes to brass fittings and pipes is risky. ... In the case of stainless steel (410) and brass, they are seven metals apart, which means they would be likely to corrode if connected directly. When it comes to stainless steel (301, 304 and 310) and brass, they are only two metals apart, which would means they are not likely to corrode.

The manager wasn't panicking since he wasn't noticing high beer attempts, I'm sure if the temps were high he would've had to expedite A tech code 3 with the police escort to get there, you can't sell warm beer, you can once. I spent 37 years working in grocery retail I can't tell you how many times we had to have service techs out and replace compressors condenser motors and a whole list of other stuff, I was the most knowledgeable at the store and engineering would rely on me to be there liaison, we had a store director that had our refrigeration company come out and turn the temps down on the beer case, and that store got a rep for having cold beer, which increased their sales.
