It was Donh54 that posted the info, I just commented on it.

Bob, that IS how it goes - If you post stuff on here people might comment on it. It is a forum after all.
I read most of your posts because they are interesting, sometimes I feel like commenting - on the post, not you personally.

But you forgot to mention the humidity,its been pretty intense as well.

Yep, had to go to Wacol on Thursday, then Sourhport and Carrara later and the GC was just as bloody hot!

Wednesday in Byron I think was the worst, I could literally wring my work drills out.

The only place for respite was right on the beach!

I was at Wacol Thursday and Friday nearly all day,we should have caught up....

Friday was a 6.00am start,replacing a TX valve in a ceiling mounted ducted.Luckily the cloud cover helped keep the temps down,as did the old pedestal fan we dragged up there to blow on us during the job.

Not just the dry bulb,but the humidity was extremely high,causing some AC units to pull moisture directly off the coil,and give all the drains and safety trays and cooling towers,freezers and cold rooms a good work out.

I'll be back up in a week or so Paul, have some work to do on a chiller and a couple of AC maintenances.

I'll be up at least once a month for a couple of days for DLP maintenance on a bunch of supermarket AC and heat recovery systems.

There was so much humidity last week that when I pulled a drain off a big air handling unit
(AHU) in a shopping centre in Lismore the water flow was at full volume coming out!
It's chronically undersized for the size of the evap (you walk inside the AHU) but I've never seen water flow like that out of an AC system before. It had a 32mm column of water coming out and it was only 8:00am!

OK. I guess we don't live in a perfect world. And it is naïve of me to think like that. But, wouldn't it be nice, if we could just try.

Non of us are perfect. That's what makes us human.
