Just spent forty minutes of my life on a video that’ll probably have nothing to do with my future. However it was very entertaining. 20/10

[@GotFreight]

I can all but guarantee you will use something, you learned, from this video in your future. You may not even realize it but you will.

[@howzit9397]

Got Bait Alaska yep to sand and lube you shaft before removal and insert! Multiple times as needed! 😂

[@Treddian]

I learned about the mnemonic device meter or mnemometer for short. Good stuff! (Disclaimer: I'm trolling but wish no real ill knowledge.)

[@CraigEngbrecht]

I am a professional IT specialist, and this has nothing to do with my job, but I also spent 40 minutes watching something that has even less to do with me since in Canada the weather is significantly different. HAHAHA

[@jcolonna12]

It’s always good to see some problem solving

[@frostbite1991]

If you don't schedule maintenance on your machines, your machines will schedule them for you.

[@oneselmo]

Zac Price you're right. It all starts with a manager saying "Not on my budget, the next guy can do it" Manager is incentivized to hit his numbers and collect his bonus. By the time the shives are worn out, he's moved up the line. Corporate has to enforce a pm policy to prevent this happening.

[@ShalmendoGlineux]

@@oneselmo If I ran a company I'd make sure to have a solid budget for preventative maintenance, and even 'surprises' because I know those happen, too! Sadly anyone with uncommon sense can't run or own a company.

[@Embermist69]

"Not in the budget to maintain" is some of their thought process. Then it breaks and they be scrambling to repair which cost more then just maintenance the system.

[@EgonFreeman]

That is a lovely, well-expressed thought. I might steal it from you, because I love it. "If you don't schedule maintenance for your gear, it'll schedule it for you..."

[@BlackSoap361]

Unscheduled maintenance is always more expensive than scheduled maintenance.

[@James_Bowie]

Clearly, 'regular maintenance' is not in the vocabulary of that customer.

[@danjal87nl]

You can probably leave off the regular part. I don't think these have seen ANY maintenance for a long time. And when problems started showing they just started shutting off things at random.

[@wwrite]

It’s totally commonplace. I don’t do HVAC but I’m a maintenance tech and the customers are in business doing what ever makes them money which in this case does not include HVAC lol. It’s common for folks to run till failure and call the pros at failure.

[@Jaker788]

That's the norm for any industry. I'm a motive power tech, most customers regularly fuck their batteries and forklifts. We're pretty good at getting them on a schedule for maintenance and check ups for the lift. Though the battery is often killed by a lack of watering, over watering, improper charging practice, or a myriad of other bad practices that I have to mend. The amount of customer batteries I get in the shop that take 2 or more weeks to recover, or can't be fixed is common. There are a few customers that are great about caring for their equipment at least, SaltWorks is a great example. They buy nice chargers, they buy good watering systems, and they use a bmid to tell the charger what to do for each battery and monitor the health individually. They even rotate machines around to balance how heavily they're used, based on power consumption reported by the battery monitor.

[@monad_tcp]

@@wwrite its funny that not doing maintenance probably costs more in the long run. I used to manage a small data-center and the company kept forgetting to do maintenance. The expense were always more than if you just did maintenance regularly, but no, just wait for the break. And the A/C unit were tiny (it was just 1 rack of servers and 1 A/C unit), not even that important as my computers would run fine at 90º c but they can get to 100º c without the A/C (ideal is 70º c), but that would wear the electronics of any server running at that temperature, not to mention drop in performance. It doesn't make money, no, but it saves money in the long run, not everyone thinks in the long run, they just think about the next month. Until the day that there was a catastrophic failure that be (like several hard drive failures, guess if they replaced the worn out disks, no and they probably even worn out faster because of the A/C not working correctly and hot temperatures), something that would put the customer out of business, then they learn about " preventive maintenance " . But I know better, I don't do that to my car, I keep up with the maintenance of it, for safety, I don't even use my car to earn money as I'm IT and do everything remotely, but losing a business is not like dying.

[@wwrite]

@Luiz Felipe I personally agree! For me equipment operating at 100% is where I thrive. It really bothers me to see equipment malfunctioning or operating poorly due to lack of maintenance.

You should get an cheap automotive pully or brake rotor puller from Harbor Freight and that will make pulling those pulley much easier and faster. Prying again the motor housing can crack the housing and puts a lot of pressure on the motor bearings, where a puller put the pressure on the end of the shaft and pulley only.

Not to mention all of the equipment it requires that a tech would not have or want, lol.

After I bought my house, I noticed I could smell like furnace fumes on hot days mostly coming from the basement. I blew smoke around the water heater vent and the smoke would blow back at me. If I opened a window, the smoke would go up the vent like it was suppose to. This would only happen around noon at the hottest part of the day. One day I went into the attic and noticed air was RUSHING around me through the opening to the attic. I found that the previous owner had installed 2 very large attic fans on a thermostatically controlled switch. Those fans would kick on mid-day and literally pull air from the only place it could which was the water heater vent. There was no need for attic fans as the attic is well ventilated from the soffit vents and a ridge cap. I'm surprised no one was injured from the fumes. I disabled the fans and replaced all the carbon monoxide detectors in the house.

The pulley lost its "V" shape and was worn in to a "U" shape. The belt is supposed to ride on the walls of the pulley and should not touch the bottom of the pulley. You are spot on. A new pulley is nothing in cost compared to the damage it can do. That constant fighting of the belt being sucked into the pulley can ruin the motor, the belt, the fan bearings, plus it loosens the motor support structure and can lead to a resonance at run speed. Chris, you should record the sounds of a belt being sucked into a pulley and teach your guys so they can spot those types of problems easier.

[@blocka58]

A Contactor that is buzzing is generally caused by crap on the magnetic faces of the contactor. If you are able to disassemble the contactor to change out the coil, then you will be able to clean the magnetic faces. Industrial Electrician retired.

[@ShalmendoGlineux]

That is REALLY smart! But.. not to be a negative nelly here, changing out the contactor anyway means one less to replace later as the brand new one will be (hopefully) void of any other problems it might have started showing later despite being cleaned. (like maybe impending structural failure)

[@brucekeck1351]

yep buzzing or sizzling sound is no good. just going to get worse,less conduction brings more heat,more crap then yeah. the sound of electrical contacts sizzling is like fingers on a chalkboard to me

[@roadiejames]

I spray electronics cleaner into any opening I can find and 99% of the time that works without having to disassemble but eventually it'll build up carbon again and need to be cleaned. Manually brush cleaning takes longer but also last longer.

There's a gun range near me where the door is so hard to open, everyone uses the handicap button to have the door motors open it for them. Maybe I should send them this video

[@thomaslemay8817]

Gun range has a different concern, must keep lead splatter moving away from occupied areas of the building and out of the environment outside.

[@Magiobiwan]

Thomas LeMay the range buildings only need negative airflow in the range area though. The indoor range I go to occasionally has an airlock type setup with doors between the front shop area and the back range area. The range is under negative pressure and it feels in there like they have makeup air being fed in at the firing line and the exhaust fans at the backstop, so that there's a constant down range airflow.

Good work Chris. One more thing. Blower wheels. When you guys find a neglected job like this, all of the blower wheels will need to be cleaned. 1/8” of dirt results in a 10% loss in airflow. Take a long screwdriver and scrape the inside of one vane cup to sample the loading of dirt. No more than one, it may go out of balance if it’s very dirty. 👍

Happy to see a long video, recent videos have been fairly short due to the simplicity of the job, its always sad when a video has to end.

Recommended by youtube and im glad that they did, this was really interesting!

[@josiahpierson3636]

Top notch video Chris, very very solid good info. Not to mention the bad things that can happen when a building goes negative like appliances back drafting and people getting sick. Really informative on showing how to test and adjust test and adjust. Im gonna have to get a couple new tools too haha this is a great teaching video for new guys too

[@alexleuschner9078]

Good work buddy you are very good at your job and with customers.

Ugh! I hate when places wait until everything is broken, then call for repair. A little PM goes a long ways.

[@Williammcqueen52]

Another great video !!! Very informative, I will never use this but I watched the whole video because there is so much information and experience in your video that would cost an arm and a leg if I had to pay for it. Again great problem solving skills and like your statement baby steps before you can walk, then run ! Thanks again and keep up the good work and videos.
