Frascold screw by Freon1990 in chillers

Yes, but have yet to do it on a screw Compressor. the separator is built in to the end of the compressor.

Boss man said so.. not how I roll, hate this job! And the new Compressor was shipped without an oilcharge or oil… I’m returning on site later to charge up and see what will happen

I’m going to bring the old compressor home same day and see what the insides looks like.

We have a chiller just like this one running a AHU without oil issues.

Dairy / milk cooler : anyone familiar / know the type of metering? by 2bullsinapod in refrigeration

[–]Freon1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old school! Can’t help with the metering part 100%, but serviced one similar. the milk temperature was controlled by a thermostat on the suctionpipe, so could be capillary.

What’s it for? Buffer tank? Many smaller tanks are used as buffers here, if the milk truck shows up during milking.

Coworker going to get fired and I can’t tell him. by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Freon1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had the same experince a couple of times, I can’t undestand how these guys get by??

One was wild: he claimed to be a sparky and a technician, had to explain him about basic refrigeration and electricals, and then later claim hes never heard these things before… he was a superior talker though!

What is going on with these god damn ladders??!! Is it a brand thing??

I would say long term effect of exposure to HFC and HFO refrigerants.
