True Grit! An alternative Western?
They say they breed them hard in these here parts! (South West U.K.)
If what's to be found in the water is anything to go by, then that could be true?
I asked the on-site Engineers to check a chilled water strainer recently.
As I believed it to probably be blocked or at least partially blocked.
What was found was this!
Now its not unusual to find bits of rubber gasket / seal or even cable ties in this systems strainers.
But when the above was found I asked for a sample and took photos.
The stunning thing is the customer still wonders why his chillers are struggling!!!

Re: True Grit! An alternative Western?
Looks like system is rotting from the inside outwards. No water treatment and cathodic corrossion. It will start springing leaks everywhere sooner than later. Been there had the same problem.

Re: True Grit! An alternative Western?
Probably all answers are correct in some way!
Whilst trying to log running parameters I checked the very large buffer tank, which was so low I had to ask one of the site engineers where the level was?
It was below the s/glass graduations and the masking tape with Minimum level written on it.
By the way this is a sub zero system on Glycol!
Did anyone notice something else in the filter picture?
