I wasn’t aware of over greasing being an issue. What could possibly happen to bearings if there over greased? What’s a good rule of thumb for how much grease to use? Thanks

I have seen some nasty towers over the years. I had one customer that had tower no sales and strainers so plugged, that the machine was doing a 28 degree temp rise on the condenser with the machine only loaded to 30 percent lmao

Glad it helped

I agree ! Being in maintenance limits your training and knowledge base . I get information only if I shadow others that are “ ok “ with me shadowing them , otherwise my training was only in finishing, painting and drywall.

Damn 20 years? I did industrial and some commercial work for 3 years while I do appreciate that cooling towers fed me and bought me some toys I couldn’t stand it😂

This guys really good, at explaining things, been following his content for awhile

4:09 Doesn't he mean supply from the Chiller?

How do you know that pa?

@@Lumenjensen777 because thats what they are for

Thank you for your support!

Thank you

Ya thats definitely not the norm here

It has to do with air flow direction. Its intended to direct the incoming air evenly across the fill.

@@HVACTIME so is what I did correct then, facing inwards? Thanks for the reply btw.

Thank you!

it's 30 entering and 25 centigrade leaving. Generally it's about 5°c difference

It is a very tough situation the trade is in as a whole. If you can find a really good company that has good techs to be an apprentice at that is very beneficial but that's not a whole lot different than just working with a company that has good techs. It really is one of our biggest issues right now, we've lost so much of our senior experience. Those of us that are left are having to train a large volume of people at a time and it is very difficult at every company. One great thing is there is a ton of opportunity in the trades right now to do just about anything you want, but it's because of the lack of experience as to why those opportunities are there. What this means is that those who are willing and capable will have to strike their own way more than they'll be able to be trained. I hope that makes sense. And is somewhat encouraging or gives some form of direction?

If you turn the AHU off water will not flow through your coil cause your actuator will close but your circ pumps should stay on moving the water. Find out where your circ pumps are

Tower overflow in most cases is caused by faulty ball valve

@@davepeera1247 it wasn't. I figured it out it was clogged holes on top of the CT

@@bluecavemen ok.guessed it was the bottom basin

If the pump fails the chiller would shut down on the safety flow switch. If the tower fan fails the chiller would shut down on pressure switches after a few minutes

It is optional but it's a critical safety that will prevent extreme damage

@@HVACTIME thanks for your response. Can I integrate this to a crossflow type of cooling tower?

We service, repair, and maintain them. But we also do chillers so we are a complete package

Yes but VERY expensive

@@HVACTIME Do you know anyone that has made one out of SS in-house? It looks like a good challenge but not impossible.

No, only when customer requests and they have their chemical company do it.

Poor water circulation.. Choked filler assy Choked air intake Defects in fan motor or blade
