If you think that's dirty you should see what most bar/restaurants look like. I was working behind the bar of one such place. It was right before lunch time. Two fellows in white suits came in and told me I better get up (I had been laying on the floor to access a unit). These men were exterminators and they were there to do the deed on the roaches. Once they sprayed roaches came out from every crevice and were running everywhere including the place I had been laying. The lunch patrons were coming in and being seated in the dining room and the waitress's were running around with paper towels picking up the running roaches between the tables. I never ate at this restaurant before or after. Back in the kitchen the pre-cooked chicken halves were laid out on plates for quick service as they were the days lunch special. The roaches were crawling all over the chicken and the cooks were flicking them off and pouring gravy on them for waitress pickups. I quit working on equipment in bars and restaurants some time afterwards. It became a company policy that we would not take on any work in such establishments.
The two discount supermarkets in my area use refrigeration to slow the rot on partially rotted produce especially lettuce from 3000 miles away. I love salad
Add the hits keep on playing. Nice work plowing through some run down equipment. We’re I work is similar, everything is 20-30 years run down and clapped out.
No sense in leak checking since you’ve been there before and told them and they can’t seem to realize that ice doesn’t form over night on a walk-in. I have never seen one that bad 😮.
Truthfully that's for my protection, to verify that it's not such a large leak that it's going to go out a few days later. It could have been 2 years since I've been there, I don't remember. With all the crap that happened a year ago it's hard to remember what the heck I did.
the contactor looks like it's only switching half the compressor power on one leg and half the fan power on the other? that would explain the smaller gauge wiring on the load side and lower total current through each leg. I'd say by the arc flash marks the top contact is the compressor, lol.
No, we do a lot of different stuff I just was slow to get on the rack stuff. Just like we do a lot of industrial but I don't do a lot of that either. The company likes to wait till everybody's ready to retire and then nobody's there to train you. 🤦🏻
I need to get another set of Yellow Jacket ones. I even replaced the seals and got rid of those white plastic seals, then trimmed down the screw in Schrader core depressor🤦🏻
Just creeps me out to see just how dirty things are! Management and employee at fault! But know that if people see cleaning.. depending on how bad or how much is dirty the customers will not return. So need cleaning after hrs but no employees willing to do the work! After hrs?
That's the first time I was there for that unit, someone else found the drain pan heater bad. If you knew what that thing cost you would be repairing it.
It's over an hour and 15 minute drive to this place. (Country driving) So there's two and a half hours of the day. It was supposed to be just work on the cooler that you first seen but then turned into the leaking cooler, then the heat and add the condensate pan 🤷🤦🏻
I like to drive out like that and get payed to look at the country side , it’s always fun when there is more work thrown on you, and then why is the bill so high is what we get , so I call dispatch and have new job numbers set up and write separate tickets, Rick brother I like watching the videos keep up the great work
I have never done that anywhere else before and I told him before I started that that was probably not going to be good on it but he acted like he wants to replace it all anyway so maybe I'll help him get it done a little sooner 😁
From what I've been told it's more reliable to prevent the food from freezing because of how easy the air band can be disturbed on an open case like that.
I had the office call the next day to follow up and the store manager said it was holding temp correctly so I was happy even though I believe the txv has a issue.
❄🇺🇸👍💪 so ? About tstat. Was that put in the evaporator area to get a coil temp similar to a constant cut-in. N set for 27 which would give u a box temp in the mid to upper 30's ? Thanks for sharing ur knowledge and experience.
I had a play around with it some more, it wasn't going to be accurate until we had product to it to help hold temperature in the airband area. I never did figure out why one side was colder than the other side but it was likely a disturbance in the airband. The TXV acted like it needed to be replaced because I couldn't get it lower than 14 and at the end I couldn't get it below 19. It was a fluster mess
36 years ago, at George Brown College, I was taught that Air Conditioning was not just cooling a space for people to be comfortable. You could also be conditioning the air for many other reasons. You could be heating a house, and that is again air conditioning because you are conditioning the air. You could condition the air in a meat locker, that would in turn condition the product. Putin could condition the air on the planet. I really hope he doesn't.
FFS Rick you just can't catch a break.. I really hope you're company pays you top 💲 with the amount of crap you work on.. Sending positive thoughts and wishes for nicer equipment for you to work on
Thanks man, I know some of these videos make it look like I work in the ghetto 😁. People are just cheap as hell around here and unfortunately we don't work on anything new like a new Walmart or anything. These are old privately owned grocery stores.
