Out with the Old, In with the New

Been a little busy lately up and down the country replacing aging equipment. Thought you might like to see some pictures

STORK 300kw twin circuit condensing unit R22

Waiting for the scrapman

New kit arrives

Here we go

Gently does it

2 x Daikin 150kw condensing units with stepless screw compressors

The scrapman cometh

First problem encountered. Why do they do that???

Probably because the production people are not Refer People, and are under pressure to go as fast as they can.
One formerly fine American Manufacturer now assembles junk and trades on the name they used to have.
Another sends us junk that needs to be rebuilt on the site. We recently had to send back a $60,000 USD condenser because it was damaged in assembly and could not be repaired.
But the price competition means that a manufacturer who does a fine job cannot sell his product.
This does not include every one. FES and Frick still make good products, and innovate at the same time.

'ere Frank, Mister Elfan Safetee here.

Not one hard hat did I see, tsk, tsk.

Mind you, if you drop one of them a plastic hat won't stop it.

Great pictures Frank, thanks for sharing.

Look again Brian - my engineer on the back of the flat bed has his hard hat on as do I and I'm only taking pic's.

The guy in the compound is the slinger that came with the crane.

Hope some of you out there can post some pics of your projects
