Title: I'm kind of like a painter
Post by: Rash on May 27, 2011, 11:56:54 PM
I kind of like this picture.  A customers, customer was in a hurry to install 2 new chillers in a Hospital, but the factory was 6 weeks behind in sealing off the copper tubes with a grout ceramic type of polymer.

(http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj41/cooked2008/time.jpg)

1. We put rubber stoppers in every hole. (how many?)  we still have to do this 3 more times.
2. Then sandblast in a hospital basement without polluting the area (done this type of work before)
3. Take out rubber stopper and install corks till they stuck out to about 200 mils.  (tubes stick out of steel plate at 125 mils.)
4. grout the entire area smooth.  (7sq ft is $2000 worth of material.  don't want to make a mistake)
5. remove corks (tricky part)... this is about where the pic was taken this morning.  At first it was tough taking out the corks, but we found a solution.
6. finished 5 weeks ahead of factory.

Now enjoying the weekend.

I should of had guitar players doing that part.  Had 4 four guys in rotation, and they all complained of sore fingers.

I guess I'm just dumb here, but.. what the heck is that thing??  I don't even know what a "chiller" is!  Anyone care to explain?  I'd love to learn!
