We use Loctite rust coverter on everything.
The joys of having plant sonetimes almost on the beach.

Is that loctite 75430 rust converter?

I knew you would be onto it,working on gear on the coast.

I think so.
It has a plastisiser in it to, so adds a coating, unlike most rust converters which are usually straight (watered down) phosphoric acid.
It gives you time to get a base coat of paint on.

And you can get your heavy zinc paints in colours now, too.

Des, this is what a well dressed fridgey has to do sometimes these days.

Extracting log and config files out of an AC system with the laptop.
The controls on this would be 15 years old

Has actually been around for a long time,we had it at Jupiters casino around late 80’s I recon?
One of the first jobs I commissioned with BMS,and every Chilled water valve failed

Not innotech,Honeywell.

Steve Maranda was working from under his house at Sunnybank in those days under the banner of Qld controls,which then led to Innotech.
He bought a building at 8 mile plains,then built a bigger building next door.Old building now has Daikin as a tenant.
New building is a cracker,with a full commercial kitchen with chefs,for the staff.
And a huge York chiller on the roof,the plant rooms look like Govt spec,done very well,I actually have a pic of the largest plant room somewhere.
The two sons run the joint now,with Dad looking over their shoulders.

Staff or employees?

The computer had a glitch.
