    Hello condor frascold compressors are good and run very smooth but they have very fine tollerances on wrist pin and big ends you have to make sure the suction super heats are set properly and they used for the specfied operating limits. other wise they seize up and smash

    The glow in a cigaret is warm enough to ignite propane while the glow in a cigar is not - that is if you are not too eager to get home. Still it is a bad idea to smoke when working with any refrigerant

    Old company went balls up. I was hired shortly in a district heating substations manufacturing company, and then finally hired in Frascold. Nice to be here.
