This one brought tears to my eyes (this one's at the bottom of the y2k section):




Our company's website has a section for press releases that's automatically updated. On January 2, 2000, it...

The last argument with my wife was apparently my fault, she asked what was on the t.v.


I replied "dust".

I just have to ask, it is a 240v spa isn't it?

Another one for Delta. We use delta all the time for our motor repairs. You'll find them in Dundas Court, Phillip.

Now who started talking about the gas stove? I don't see how a stove could cause a toxic diaster in a house.



I mention air con units because they are just big fridges and you are talking up...

Of course r22 forms phosgene. So does any other CFC or HCFC. Maybe you'd prefer Hydrogen Flouride which forms when an HFC (r134a for example) refrigerant decomposes? HF when in contact with water...

Absolute rubbish.

The refrigerant is hermetically sealed. No mechanical seals or anything like that. If Domestic fridge was turned off and didnt come back to life, it would have carked it anyway....

Just get an electrician with an arctick licence. Job done in one hit.

Remember fridge mechanics have no understanding of electricity, have neither the mental capacity or physical ability to size,...

Fridgey here.

Firstly there is no tx valve in a domestic fridge.

The old cyclic defrost fridges used a hot gas defrost not a reversing valve.

No need to do an acid decontamination because we...

The shortfall of proportional only control loops. Inverters really need to be driven by P.I or P.I.D control to make the most out of their capability.

I was referring to the efficiency losses running a dual conversion inverter. DC inverters are not as bad.

But as stated sizing is critical.

Another oversight, an inverter model running at 100% uses more juice than a constant speed.

I prefer Daikin and the newer Mitsubishi Heavy industries.

What's orange and sounds like a parrot?

A carrot.

i wouldn't have the foggiest either

I might pull my TAFE books out here. Perhaps the method has changed over the last few years.

It's a good idea to be shown how to use a megger. There are different processes for testing different types of equipment.

There should be a LV ohmmeter function, used for testing motor windings...

You can depending on the type of control. With most smaller constant speed systems, there are usually 4 wires. one each for supply to the outdoor fan, compressor and reversing valve and a neutral.
...

Sounds possible.

With a lot of domestic appliances when they are no longer built then production of parts, especially oem parts also stop being produced.

Having said that I had a failed relay...

Learner, don't get your knickers in a knot but keep calling me sir and we'll all get along fine:2tsup:.

No, not confused. Just not common in small motors around ~120watts as this one is. If it...

for a start it sounds like the zone motors nay be stuffed. Cant really say much more about the unit itself, would neen more info.

When was the last time you saw a split phase motor on a blower?

Blower = low start torque. Permanent Cap setup is the simplest and usually most reliable.

You'd have to spin it quick to lift a switch if it had one. I think your ego might be writing cheques your body can't cash :wink:

I dare say its just a permanent cap motor. With an ohmmeter you...

There's no law against rewiring plug in appliances.

Go for your life and let us know how it goes!!!!

Give your local priest a call, ask him if it's been happening frequently in the area.

take it to a filter shop.

To clean give it a vacuum.

I'm glad theres people dumber than me.


It just makes me feel good.

He said it felt stiff when turned by hand. Usually aerodynamics don't become part of the equation at such low speeds.

Forget repairing just replace it with a decent brand. either that or buy a...

I'm another dual trade. I'm a fitter who went on to become a fridge/aircon mechanic. I also did a cert iv in marine engineering. to mix it up a bit.

My employer offered me the opportunity to do my...

Mostly EX valves in new units, capillaries in small constant speed splitties. especially with variable output compressors.

Also, we do not honour warranty on our equipment that has leak detection...

It's not spray on, it's a dump in goop that is pushed into the system, much like the "no more leaks" for tyres.

It dries as it's pushed out of the pipework.

except cfls aren't dimmable and still don't give the same quality of light.

My opinion is the refrigerant has a possible imbalance. 410a is a near azeotropic (the two components act the same causing no glide as long as it's in the right proportions) blend of r32 and r125 ....

Electricians and plumbers can get a license to instal and commission split systems up to 18kw with a 1 week course. you can also do a course for a restricted license up to 18kw installation. not sure...

Learner,

Quite often installation manuals are written for global use and don't necessarily comply with the relevant codes of practice. Not so much in higher end units but it still happens.
It...

i've seen the stuff at Actrol but I only fix leaks the old fashioned way. You should really only use it when you really can't find the leak. Even though they claim it to be compatible, it still...

Office spaces cause no end of grief. especially when women are concerned.

To be brutally honest in a space of 23 Degrees C, there will be two girls next to each other. One will be fat one will be...

yes it's ambiguous, but a light globe is a plug in appliance.

If you feel game you can try sucking the goop through.

On second thoughts I've seen some pretty mean looking oyster like fungus growing in drains, so, give that a miss.



Seriously, to remove...

If you have access to an air compressor you can give it a clean out.

Just undo the face panel and slide the unit out of its outer box. take it outside and blow all the dust out. Just be careful...

I've had a bit to do with the geothermal system at AGSO in Canberra which has a similar climate to Lithgow.

Here's a bit more info http://www.ga.gov.au/image_cache/GA10493.pdf

I've also heard...

Two points to keep in mind when sorting out a pump.
1. A pump creates flow, pressure is only caused by resistance to flow ie, gravity or system restrictions.

2.There is no such thing as a...

Round diffusers tend to blow the air down and let it rise whereas square diffusers let it disperse outwards.

Swampies usually have square diffusers fitted.

Obviously the previous two replies are not serious.

Neither a vacuum cleaner or a compressor will pull down to the minimum 1000 micron (bare minimum) vacuum let alone sub 150 micron for a clean...

Further to the last post, when I was in Sydney for the 46 degree new years day of 2006, The cheap and nasty Arlec split system i installed managed to cope.

I did however hose out the outdoor...

Evaporative simply wont cut it in 44 degree heat. Assuming the air is dry at 10%RH, a fairly efficient swampy will at best bring the RH of the air passing through up to about 60%, dropping the dry...

If he has a trade account he can probably manage a better cash price, knowing the bloke at the counter and mentioning it's a love job makes a massive difference.

Depending where he gets his...

There are some pretty looking splitties out there that may compliment your house, failing that a basic single space ducted system may be the go with bulkhead diffusers. It really depends on your...

Depends on whether or not you are talking the latest stuff.

The Old Mitsu' Heavy Industry gear was rubbish. I didn't have much to do with them but i always copped problems.

The new stuff...

Doesn't matter what brand your unit is, if it's a domestic/residential/light commercial split system with suction lines of less than 1" it will have flares. Flares are easy, no hot work required on...

A work colleague told a funny story of a bloke doing a pipe up on a plant room fitout who rested a 10" pipe through the rung of his step ladder and welded it in.

All worked out nicely until he...
