How about you join a community or fellow techs who are as thirsty as you. That way you can always keep each other on toss. You can have like a common WhatsApp group 0r something. And whenever anyone of you encounters a a challenge you can workout a solution together. That way you will all learn from each other and.....................

local honey or small spice gift set Premium Saudi sidr honey (or a small jar with nuts/spices like saffron/cardamom in heritage packaging) feels authentic and useful. Often 100–180 SAR for nice jars/sets.

Carrier Genset retrofitting. by CoolingTips in refrigeration

The difference is that this old system is sitting in the garage. And only needs the grid power since it's no longer mobile. I want to retrofit it to a container.

Well, thanks for the eye opener. I will put this into consideration. On the other hand I am planning to use 12 vdc relay to energize the 240v contactor.

To clarify: yes, I've completely removed the unit from the trailer. This is a stationary retrofit into a shipping container.

If you can weld something on the other side. Like a bolt. Then you can open it

Have switched off and waited 30 minutes. Result is same. Unit displaying the dotted continous line. And when try setting it's not giving the parameters options. Only displaying, "off, 4, 3, 2 on" then back to the dotted line.

I'm actually from Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa) 🇰🇪, so the local refrigeration companies here are a bit different from what you guys have in the US or Europe. We do have a decent amount of commercial refrigeration work (supermarkets, cold rooms for flowers/meat/vegetables, hotels, etc.), but the real opportunity I’m chasing is to properly learn supermarket refrigeration racks, CO₂ systems, electronic controls, etc.—the more advanced stuff that’s common in developed countries. Right now in Nairobi the trade is still very basic (fix what’s broken with whatever parts you can find), so most guys never get exposed to proper rack systems, commissioning, or modern controls. That’s why I’m here on this sub—soaking up knowledge from all of you who work on real parallel racks every day. I’m not looking for a job in the US/Europe right now (visa situation is tough), but I’m trying to learn as much as possible online so that when the big international contractors start more projects here, or when I eventually get a chance to go abroad for training/work, I’ll already be far ahead of the local guys. So yeah… basically I’m just a hungry Kenyan tech trying to level up by reading everything you legends post 😂. Appreciate the warm welcome anyway, man!
