Come on then youv'e got our attention whats the story?

Would this of been the Amersham depot?

[stevemartial]

hi guys,approximately two to three years ago,kerry foods vans with g a h refrigeration units fitted had a problem with catching fire.this resulted in at least three whole depots burning down where the vans were parked inside and the fire spread from one vehicle to another. the rectifiers failure and melting of wires on the refrigeration units seemed to be the prime suspect, due to several wiring modifications being carried out in quick succession to solve this problem,this only seemed to implicate that the melted wires was indeed the cause of the fires.the cost of the compensation must be horrendous if g a h were found to be liable.just wondered if anybody knew the outcome?

And here was me thinking that it was only Vector's and Frigoblock's that torched themselves

[alpha]

well I didn't realise it was more than one depot. oops

[stevemartial]

one of the depots was brand new, and was burnt to the ground.g a h obviously denied there refrigeration units were to blame,but if you saw the melted wires and scorch marks like i did, you'd know where the blame lay

[stevemartial]

on the old super rapier units the rectifiers were housed inside a metal container and when the rectifiers failed and wires melted/caught light, the subsequent fire (although very small) extinguished itself due to lack of oxygen,when the units were updated the rectifiers and wiring were moved outside the metal container and also the metal covers of the condenser unit were replaced with some sort of plastic cover.now when the rectifiers failed and the wiring melted/caught light,it was not starved of oxygen,then the problem of vans catching fire surfaced-co-incidence??what would you think?

[alpha]

Has it been ruled out building overheat was not a factor?

[stevemartial]

maybe building overheat is/was gah's defence, i don't know the outcome of the investigation by the forensic people, the vehicles i repaired were based outside,
