If you go full nerdgasm on it you will realize that it actually is :) At least here in Germany. Flat Head screws have a much lower torque rating than torx, even if the material and thread are identical, simply because flat heads aren't designed to transmit that sort of torque. Unfortunately the people in the component sourcing department usually don't give a crap about things like that and will change screw heads after the fact to save half a penny per unit. And that's literally how little it is. 10k M8x40mm screws with Torx head are only 1,2% more expensive than the same screw as flat head... It's even less if you go higher quantity.

electrician from Florida, those smaller lug screws are always a problem and tend to need the largest size flat head that can fit into the slots, and if the a/c unit wiring going to the load size of the disconnect is the fine strand type i would not recommend tightening up all the way or the lug can cut through some of the finer strands and can cause overheating issues at the lugs and connecting bus bars. also for future repair and warranty i would recommend a small thing of Anti-oxidant compound and use it on all of the Alum lugs and on fuse holders to prevent overheating.

I wonder if, for those disconnects, you could buy better screws to put inside them? It would be a small additional charge, but it would hopefully prevent these disconnects from being a single-use component. If you ever needed to swap those wires out because one burnt, there's very little guarantee those screws will hold up.

8:40 - There's a distinct descending high-pitched squeal. It's almost at the top end of human hearing, you probably couldn't hear it but it IS there. Not sure if it's relevant, though. Hard to tell if the compressor failure snowballed into an issue with the disconnect, or if the disconnect failure snowballed into compressor damage. What I'm fairly certain of is that both issues are related. And, for that calcium buildup and drain sludge - obviously we're not following regular cleaning procedures or having proper PM done. And that's all I'm going to say there because I'm not in the mood to type out a massive rant when the responsible parties aren't even going to benefit from a good chewing-out.

In the 1960's-'70's, ice machines were one of the more interesting things I helped my dad repair. Most were Scotsman machines with a rotating spray arm that sprayed up into a freezing mold with cylindrical ice cups. At harvest time, the refrigeration would reverse cycle and the ice cylinders would fall onto a tray where the same rotating spray arm swept them out to the storage bin. Those cylindrical Scotsman ice "cubes" were quite distinctive and much larger than modern machine-made ice. I haven't seen it in a bar or restaurant for many years, but some old timers may remember what I'm talking about. Scotsman also made a similar looking machine that continuously pushed out shaved ice - I remember dad changing the worm & ring gears in the ice shaver mechanism. There was another freaky non-Scotsman machine that made batches of ice blocks which were chopped into cubes at harvest. When I was really little, they were still making ice in the ammonia plant my dad kept running - but that's another story.

Kold-Draft ice machines made 1 solid slab and dropped it onto a heated wire grid to cut the cubes
@brnmcc012 жыл бұрын
@@johnbell6956 Yup! That jogged my memory, and I remember fixing a few of those machines. And I was able to find the individual wires, and fix one of the grids. What was happening was the slabs were stacking up, and the waitresses would beat on the grid with the ice scoop, and broke a few of those wires. The grid ran off a huge transformer, I think the secondary voltage was only like 7 volts but a ton of current. Those machines used a Tecumseh AE4440 R12 compressor, and about 18 ounces of R12. Replaced the compressor on one once. Restaurant never cleaned the little condenser coil, then let it run with a burned out condenser fan. Another machine was down, and turned out to be just a dead mouse stuck in the fan blade. Got rid of the mouse, blew out the condenser coil, and it started back up. This was back in the late 1980's, that restaurant closed end of 1993. The two machines I fixed were from 1979 and 1980.
@tomoliver84982 жыл бұрын
Whirlpool and Frigidaire ice machines formed slabs of ice that slid down on to a heated wire grid to be cut into smaller cubes. Kold Draft sprayed water up into a evaporator that was horizontal and when it was in harvest a big "jaw" dropped down allowing the ice to slide into the bin. The cubes were formed in the evaporator with a small bridge between the individual cubes much like modern Manitowoc cubes.

The Scotsman Super Cuber machines were very cool. I rebuilt one that I got for free when I was in high school in the early 80s.. the machine was probably from the 60s... Was air cooled with a huge Copeland semi hermetic compressor.. the freezer was a round spaceship type thing with a motor driven spray bar that sprayed into inverted cube molds (similar to the common Scotsman under counter cubers but bigger) It used a hot water reservoir with an electric element for harvest. They hadn't gotten to hot gas defrost by then... When it would go into harvest a big solenoid valve would kick in and dump the lower reservoir and drop the hot water on the upper part of the freezer to drop the cubes which would drain down and refill the sump and the spray arm would bat the cubes out into the bin. It sounded like a few buckets of golf balls tossed off the roof into a dumpster. It was an amazing piece of equipment... Over built... Relatively simple and made ice like nobody's business... I had that cuber and 2 Scotsman flakers of that era.. they were incredible machines. The people in Albert Lea Minnesota that made them were clearly hardcore 😝👍
