New Girl to the HVAC world.....
Hi Folks, just thought I'd drop by and say hello
My name as you may have guessed is Kylie. I'm 28, living in Kent/London and I'm essentially the marketing manager for a leading HVAC hire company in the UK - not doing too badly in the other countries we operate within too!
I thought I may as well join; pointed in your direction by another member on here (CLK320_Greg), when I mentioned I wanted to learn the basics of the industry and find out what was what at a grass roots level.
Hope you don't mind me sticking around, and from time to time asking silly questions!
Cheers for now!
Kylie.

Re: New Girl to the HVAC world.....
Hello and welcome Kylie
I had heard rumours that women had joined the trade and here am I actually chatting to one.
I feel very humbled

Re: New Girl to the HVAC world.....
Welcome Kylie. I think it is good idea also. An informed headhunter helps his/her clients by being able to sort out the proper people for the required task.
Feel free to snoop around and ask questions. If you would like to post an ad you would need to discuss that with the boss of the RE forums (WebRam).If all else fails, ask for help.

Welcome Kylie from Belgium (just back from a visit to the busy London in the weekend)
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Another New Girl to the Frig World, Help Please.....
Hi There
I too am new to this site and can't find how or where to post a new starter thread - all this thread stuff reminds me of sewing -yuk. I know the admin guy said some things might be missing but where can I post a new question??? This is it below, I am getting desparate for some clarification about the monster Copeland we bought.
Hi
I hope you guys may be able to help. We have bought a 2nd hand unit 1984 Copeland D9RC-1000-EWM-000 (7.5kW 3pH with matching evaporator Muller MHDE071 Fans 0.6/0.4kW and heater 5.25 KW) and a condensor about 1 sq m in size, and some padded pipework which is apparently some kind of adjustment choke system on it, put on an insulated 20ft (28 cum volume) container aftermarket.
We have been told it is a freezer and will be inefficient if choked, or would need another condensor ? added to it to run as a frig 2-4 degrees C (for packaged seed) so we would be better off (in terms of cost of power at 20c per kWhr ) to sell it and buy a single phase frig unit new to chill the container.
A different frig guy says he can get it to work as a frig on the container and thinks it will only run when it needs to (no modulation issues like a standard reefer) say for a couple of hours a day which would not be too expensive say $6 a day c.f. a standard reefer container which runs say 16 hours a day and cost about $30 per day to run. ($7,000-$11,000 a year more)
Also we want to build a 60sqm coolroom next summer.
Will this beast work reasonably cost effectively for either use on the container or the coolroom as a frig unit at +2 to4 C with only going in/out about once a day. (We know the more modern scroll condensors are more efficient but not by how much).
Hope you can help.
Cheers, Christine (damsel in frig distress!)

Re: New Girl to the HVAC world.....
Lol.... I wouldn't feel humbled..... more along the lines of...
DOH!
Just doing some work for our website today, which entails me putting together a bit of a glossary of terms for Air Conditioning... I reckon I'm gonna be all clued up by the end of the day!
I won't be posting up any ads though US Iceman - not really much point in advertising to the experts - you all probably have it all anyway!
Thanks for the warm welcome anyhow!

Re: New Girl to the HVAC world.....
Coolseed, go to the 'New to RE' forum; Underneath the notice to new members, there is a button that says 'New Thread', click that and you're on your way to getting a new thread of your very own I wish I could help with your query - but I can't
Although I'm wondering if your question wouldn't be better posted in 'Refrigeration Divisions' > 'Commercial'?
I did try to post a link for you but I can't do that till I've got more than 15 posts - I'll be blown if I'm going to spam just to get there!
HTH a little bit though!

Re: New Girl to the HVAC world.....
It's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious...
Don't ever underestimate the power of stupid people when they are in large groups.
Please, don't teach me how to be stupid....
No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.
