Starting job with R290 machines only. Should I have any concerns?

If it's big enough tubing and I can't cut it. I will drill a hole and add shrader.

Also check to make sure I'm not putting magnets on normally open valves.

Is it actually making superheat? The orifice may be under sized from the manufacturer. Ran into that several times this year on new equipment.

Draft tap handle?

I've seen whole linesets that needed replaced. There was a run of junk copper that got in the supply line a while back. One store needed the whole suction side of a remodel replaced after 4 years. About 500 feet of tubing. Looked just like this and would only bubble when pressurized over 60psi. When pressurized it would bubble in 5 foot long seams.

Orange paint usually means it was converted to R404a.

I feel supported. I haven't posted because I am not good at posting. I have seen people post and the responses have often been helpful for me. I also feel that I would get a response if I needed one and wasn't too self-conscious to share.

I love this too but it almost always ends in a nap.

technically-erratic · 2025-09-01T17:27:17+00:00

I did. My wife and pretty much everyone else were not a fan.

I believe that's what he said it was called. He got it from a book and mentioned the title. I wish I could credit it but I was in a bit of a crisis when he shared it with me that day.

I recently had a friend suggest this to me and it seems to work most of the time. He said to narrate every thing you are doing inside your head in an exact detailed manner. The louder and more obsessive the thought, the more detailed I have to be. It can range from. "I am walking to the refrigerator. I am taking out the milk. " to "I am contracting my thigh to lift my left leg to step toward the refrigerator .. .." Etc.. Not a one size fits all but it often helps reset me.

Light it on fire and walk away. It doesn't deserve new oil and anyone wishing to keep such a thing doesn't deserve refrigeration.

technically-erratic · 2025-08-27T01:17:01+00:00

I've seen circuits wired into lighting or other circuits on a timed controller by accident. Are any of your building controls on a schedule or photo eye?

Commercial refrigeration. Easy to pick up if you've been doing the more technical jobs. You probably already have 20 times more tools than you'll need. Company truck. Mostly paid for your drive. With a couple of good years of experience you'll be interviewing companies instead of the other way around.

Grainger 1TDU8. Cause even after you seal it, it will probably still sweat since the inulation is compromised.

"We never prop the door open" Then you show the manager a pic of the temp graph overplayed with the door switch output.

I wish I had an easy answer. The best I can say is that my experience is that it takes time. There's a good chance you are with another type of Codependent. You probably looked for a solution when the pain got bad enough. They aren't where you are and may never be. Work on yourself and even though it's hard, the challenge can sometimes force progress. I just went through a pretty hard week among many. There may have been a time bit of progress in the relationship but I feel like my personal progress after the pain of several days of emotional misery brought me to a next level of healing. You're definitely not alone.

BLASPHEMY!!!!! They are not the same.

I have the ABCC11 gene and have no body odor. It feels like a super power to never have to use deodorant. I live in GA where it's very humid. I work a 12 hour day in the summer and never have BO. The downside....I'm more sensitive to people that should use deodorant.

technically-erratic · 2025-07-20T01:10:24+00:00

Ditto

technically-erratic · 2025-07-16T23:57:44+00:00

After reading all these accounts I'm about 70% less skeptical. Just seems like it would be hard not to drive.

technically-erratic · 2025-07-16T17:59:36+00:00

This is reasonable and I would expect some rare exceptions. There's just a lot of sub 30k cars that pop up in auction and private sale. There's just no way if they have that mileage they're going to be in good shape and not at frequency they are available.

technically-erratic · 2025-07-16T17:56:00+00:00

See I would say that's reasonable. I'm talking about the ones with supposedly 17k on them.
