Hello All:
This conversation gets better and better!! :-)
And I thought it was "wrapped"!
As someone in this thread said: "All things are relative."
About all I can say to the last message is: RIGHT ON!!!
Perhaps this too: "The existence of a code does not a safe...
EUREKA, GUYS!!!... I FOUND IT!!
Not "water wetter"; but basically the same thing at the supply house (Farm and Barn) that I asked at last night. This time I looked on the "snake oil" shelves... since snake oil is cheaper than a new engine or tranny and I travel around the...
Quark:
Thanks for wrapping up this nice little discussion. I really learned a lot. Thanks to everyone else who kicked in their 10 cents. The only dumb ? are one not ??
Even though "i've worked with steam" for awhile, it appears I always have something to learn; which makes life not...
TBP:
Thanks much, TBP. The web and info highwayis truly a wonderful place!
Now I just need a good antivirus package. :-0 Buddha's advice 2,500 yrs ago (I'm Christian!!???!!): "After deep, careful observation/analysis; and it agrees with reason, is conducive to the common good: accept it...

Tanks a bunch! :-) Buddha's advice 2,500 yrs ago (I'm Christian!!???!!): "After deep, careful observation/analysis; and it agrees with reason, is conducive to the common good: accept it and live up to it."

Are Auto Zones a National chain?
Never heard of them in WI, MN or IA.
Or has life been passing me by? :-( Buddha's advice 2,500 yrs ago (I'm Christian!!???!!): "After deep, careful observation/analysis; and it agrees with reason, is conducive to the common good: accept it and...
Quark:
They never heard of "water wetter" at the supply place I went to last night. Do you think JC Whitney in Chicago would have?
See The post on page 2 about keeping an AHU from freezing. Guess my theory of increasing the specific heat by adding something is "all wet"...
TBP:
Well said!! I read of a service man who was knocked unconscious in a valve pit and then literall cooked to death by "low pressure" steam at 15 psig. :-(
No pun intended, but at a saturation temp of 212F the poor guy was "well done" when they found him. (Yuck :-( )
In...
Islander:
I'm going to check it out. Sounds like it might be good for the entire drive train; especially with summer coming (Here in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway!) :-) Buddha's advice 2,500 yrs ago (I'm Christian!!???!!): "After deep, careful observation/analysis; and it agrees with...
Dan:
Got to Trane.com and seach first for "Absorption Chillers" and then "Heat Pumps".
They have all types of both: single stage, two stage and DFA AAbsorption as well as closed and open loop heat pumps.
All sorts of sales, applications, case studies, service and...
Islander:
What is the "stuff" you put in your radiator system? Sounds like it either cleaned fouled tubes or increased the solution's specific heat.... maybe both?
Sure hope it wasn't sulphuric! :-)
Actually, now that I think of it, it is very common to use Octyl Alcohol in...
Beginner:
Remember saturation temps, subcooling and superheat?
Look at a steam table to find the "saturation temp" associated with the fluid (water) pressure. Then if the actual water temperature is above the sat'd temp (for that P) you have "superheated" condensate: [Tsh =...
Howdy All:
When we're working for someone else, we're required to "do it right"; but in a pinch on my own home system, I usually opt for the baling twine and scotch tape! :-)... Thatis until I sell the home. Since I live out of the city limits, I'm usually not subject to code...
Correction to my earlier reply:
The web site is HvacComputer.com Buddha's advice 2,500 yrs ago (I'm Christian!!???!!): "After deep, careful observation/analysis; and it agrees with reason, is conducive to the common good: accept it and live up to it."
Buzz:
Nice to see you "play it safe". When at Trane, we use decade boxes all the time as service tools to "fool the RTD"; afterall: RTDs are just "dumb resistors"
As long as you have safety overrides (which it sounds like you do) I would think you're O.K.. But to...
