    Pipe Insulation Estimate- RIP OFF

    Hi, Does anyone out there have experience with estimating insulation for piping by linear feet. I have some very large 30" pipe for CW that needs to be replaced. The job is essentially 80% (2) large elbows and a valve. The company that has a contract to do the insulation is trying to charge...

    Freeze Stat Tripping

    I was given another opinion on this situation due to two facts that may change the senario: 1) this is a 100% outdoor air system and 2) It uses VAV boxes to control temperature. The original assumption was that a condensate backup was the root cause of the problem. Could this be caused if the...

    Freeze Stat Tripping

    In the case where adding a bypass is not possible, would it be a good idea to use a W-shaped temperature sensor to average over a larger area that would sense the cold spots on the coil? If not, what type of cheap alternative may be an option. Also, the AC mechanics have already lowered the...

    Freeze Stat Tripping

    My company has been having a problem with the freeze stat's tripping and shutting-off the air handlers occasionally under cold conditions. Originally I was led to believe that is was a condensate logging problem becuase Spirax-Sarco proposed replacing the existing F&T traps with trap-pumps. I...
