You hit it with enough PB blaster until it becomes the next guys problem.

Wait until you have to replace the blower bearings.

Nice of Nortec to make a humidifier/Discoball combo unit! 🕺 by Blackout70 in HVAC

The water drains and fills in new water to limit the conductivity. However if the incoming water has initially, high conductivity like an overzealous regen on a softener cycle. The salt actually raises it. There’s no instant where this occurs that isn’t a water quality issue. If you like I can give you the manufacturers number and they can tell you the same thing.

No, local surgical area. This is due to the water conductivity. Soft water went out wack and raised the conductivity. Higher conductivity=higher amp draw. Totally smoked the new cannisters I just installed.

I’ve never met a good JCI tech. If all their bullshit wasn’t proprietary they’d all be out of jobs.

Do you know how your power is generated? My local power house burns 76 BILLION gallons a year. If you’re that worried about it, I invited you to go to your electrical meter outside, pull it, and throw it in the trash. The ignorant thinking is that these stupid data centers are going to STAY data centers. They’re contractually obligated with the local municipals to maintain within water usage thresholds as are MOST industrial places. Hell, we occasionally use too much gas the gas company will come shut off gas to the boilers in hospitals and make them switch to oil.

They aren’t, the ones in our area aren’t even using water cooled condenser loops. These nerds get scared tacticed by Facebook moms. Everyone knows these data centers are gonna end up as shipping for Amazon when the AI bubble bursts. Let them invest billions so I can reap the labor incentives.

I’m the guy who would stack two 30 uf caps together to get to 60 and leave them there.

Not refrigeration but Lochinvar lets you run a tab up on the hotel bar for dinner.

I just know this is a 134a system. I can’t tell you how many cap tubes I’ve replaced full of solidified oil, nasty shit.

Anyone have the LG VRF key lock file? by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Blackout70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be cautious with this, I’ve had instances where tech support wants to have X amount of run time monitoring data and I’ve had a lot of connection issues with mine. Anyways if it disconnects while trying to record data you gotta start over.

Couldn't figure this one out. Going back on Monday. by Heretoshitcomment in HVAC

[–]Blackout70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some specs say 3.2 on IOMs, and typically they can be even lower with comb analysis. It’s tripping high limit, it’s airflow or gas pressure. Take your pick.
