Foster 1/3 Lack of airflow problem

Evening/Morning all,

Just thought i would share this one with you, may help out a less expreienced engineer who hasnt come across it before. I was asked by another angineer to go and have a look at a Foster 1/3 case where the opposite end to the evap, the cabinet temp was 6/7 degrees c higher than the return air at the coil.
Turned out the centre set of drawers had the incorrect size drawer in it so was blocking the air off and short cycling inside the unit. Hopefully you can see from the picture the drawer size difference. Not one i would expect to see often, obviously someones changed the drawers at some point and only put a low sided drawer on the top on of the first set.

Hope this makes sense.

Regards

Cheers taz,

Hi Ray, I dont suppose this site was in Northants was it???

Hi James,

Afraid not, It was out Aylesbury way in the middle of nowhere. Makes a change though, i seem to be spending most of my life in the NN/MK postcode area's at the moment. OH the joys of roundabout city

Phew! I had replaced the drawers on the same type of unit last month at a site in Northants, for one horrible moment i thought it was my doing! If there is a next time i will look out for that one. Cheers. ;0)
