Dear fellows: I am working on a YORK 100-ton chiller which fails to start every morning. According to the operator, the display indicates a no flow condition, even with the chilled water pumps running. Sometimes a little bump to the flow switch casing is what is needed to get the chiller...

Dear people: Most manufacturers list on their installation manuals the right amount of REFRIGERANT PER FOOT of pipe needed for a complete charge. But what about the amount of oil that should be added in a long line situation if we wish not to starve the compressor of its lubtication...

Dear fellows: In my area, the installation of CEILING MOUNTED ductless split systems is becoming very popular, and whenever I see the piping job being done, one detail keeps bothering me: why most technicians do not put an inverted suction line trap at the point where the pipe comes out through...

Dear fellows: Some field inspectors like to instructs us on installing solenoid valves at the liquid inlets of two-stage DX cooling coils. Could anyone tell me the reason for this? Are they really required or just optional? Thank you!!!

Dear fellows: I just got in charge of a parallel compressor low temp R-22 supermarket refrigeration rack. I have noticed that all of the compressors have factory supplied cartridge type suction filters. Do I need to change them periodically or just remove them after the initial installation...
