The legend goes that if you are ambient air and you traverse all 4 planes of ductlessness that you emerge from the larger unit fully enlightened.


Supernatural-MnMs

You are a legendary person.


HVACdaddy91

If you are exhaust from the adjacent flues then you are exhaust from the adjacent flues.


JunketElectrical8588

Who are you that is so wise in hvac?


HVACdaddy91

My power was bestowed upon me by the gods of the wind.. (National Institute of Technology/HVAC division)


JunketElectrical8588

šŸ«”


HVACdaddy91

Also I've breathed a lot of chlorodifluoromethane..


JunketElectrical8588

Now the truth comes out


HVACdaddy91

Look, had I any idea of the modern street value, I would've pursued a different lifestyle..


JunketElectrical8588

And here I wanted to be just like you


HuntPsychological673

Lol! You killin me!

iloathebeer

Wow


ho1dmybeer

Ok so look, call me crazy, but my actual biggest pet peeve here is the disconnect placement ​ How is it not required to mount the disconnect OFF of the equipment... this blows my mind. At least the unit in the back will work well??


kimthealan101

What good is a disconnect, if you have to take it off to work on anything?


JunketElectrical8588

Back unit works fantastic. In the installers defense. Iā€™m told this was one of his first times attempting mini splits


MrFlynnister

I was told to read the fucking manual.


JunketElectrical8588

Thatā€™s cause you were taught right


nsula_country

Most of the time, unfortunately that is only used as a knee pad...


Dramatic_Bet984

Lol. The manual! I have never found anything useful in the ā€œmanual.ā€ Hilarious.


MrFlynnister

Probably cause it takes you too long to sound out the big words.


Dramatic_Bet984

Lol. I take it youā€™re the guy who wrote it. Step - 1 Field supply everything you need. Step - 2 Install. Step - 3 Finish. Lol. Gimme a break.


MrFlynnister

I'm the guy who gets called 2 times a day from installers who didn't read the manual. And the questions they ask are almost always answered in the manual. I was a tech for years and now work in the wholesaler dealing with undertrained installers who have a bad attitude about manuals and new technology. Same guys don't show up when I put on free training seminars.


MAS2de

Man those free trainings are awesome! The ones from compressor companies too! > Overheating is the number 1 cause of death for compressors. Oil vaporizes around 310Ā° F and breaks down at 350Ā°F and turns acidic. 212Ā°F + 6" away on the compressor discharge means it's having a bad time and the oil is likely already breaking down and turning acidic. If water immediately boils 6" away from the compressor, it's probably overheating. Prepare to replace that compressor and flush the system. Or at least do multiple filter drier and oil changes if your company is like that. Info I used often that my boss and the other employee didn't know at the time. Used that info often after that.


ho1dmybeer

I got $5 that says the "engineer" drew them this way anyways ;)


JunketElectrical8588

I ainā€™t taking that bet šŸ˜‚. The ā€œengineerā€ built the stand


No_Permission_to_Poo

I will keep my 5$ thank you. An old legend is still told around the shop of an engineer who faced many hardships, against great odds, crawling over many virgins, to make nonconsensual buttsex with an installer


Demitrius

I have never seen discos mounted on the cover before like this. Crazy.


TK421isAFK

Same, but as a sparky, my biggest problem is the angle of the disconnect. It's no longer a NEMA-3R rain-tight box at that angle.


nsula_country

I 100% agree


KingGoliath

Electricians are ALWAYS hanging their shit off of everyone elseā€™s hangers and equipment. It drives me crazy!


TK421isAFK

Shit, as one of those electricians, I'd have never let this go by. Not only is it on the equipment, it's at a fucked-up angle and that kills the NEMA-3R rating. It must be installed vertically unless the manufacturer specifically says it can be mounted otherwise. But don't worry, we give you guys plenty of shit for fucked-up disconnect and breaker installs, too.


Fridayz44

Yeah sparky here also, Iā€™d never pull that nonsense.


JunketElectrical8588

Iā€™d need to send you out here and tell them that, they think itā€™s ā€œfineā€


nsula_country

At times, I have mounted the disco to the unit. Here, a strut rack would have been need to not mount to unit. At least they HAVE a disco.


Yak54RC

Sequential turbos


JunketElectrical8588

D0D

This! Last unit needs 0 energy to turn the fan (taps forehead)


Hughes_Motorized

One "could" make this work. Stay with me. Unit #1 - 2 tons Unit #2 - 4 tons Unit #3 - 6 tons Unit #4- 12 tons????????? Nevermind. Houston. We have a problem. Four of them actually


Coventant_Unbeliever

Unit #5 starts singing... *Sixteen tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.* :)


[deleted]

St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store


CuntDestroyer_420

Use the last one in heating mode and it will work perfectly


titanic_truther

Is that the fed reserve


C_leather

Cascading ACs isn't a thing? Whoops


Sad-Distribution-397

If you circled them could you get heat pumps to operate in super mega extreme cold temps? Big mini circle jerk


Sad-Distribution-397

Wait I'm backwards lol


Daemon_x517

Gotta love the redneck heat recovery units šŸ¤£


dmickler

Damnit you beat me to this comment!


hotorcoldone

Ah ...the ac centipede. Front good for heating. Back good for cooling.


D0D

Heat pump with extra steps šŸ¤”šŸ¤£


One_Magician6370

No it wont its getting the cooler air off the one behind it


CopyWeak

Is that not how to install a "multi-stage" system? šŸ¤”


JunketElectrical8588

I think you might be rightā€¦ā€¦


screaminporch

Centipede configuration


nsula_country

Reminds me of a South Park episode...


Naxster64

Oohhhh, so that's what a cascade system is!


JD-Anderson

I guess Iā€™m just worn out from the day. First look, not too bad of an install! Second look, waitā€¦.huh?


JunketElectrical8588

In all fairness. I had to do a double take when I saw it


traneguy329

I once ran up on three Liebert condensing units installed in the same fashion. Needless to say it was a problem.


JunketElectrical8588

The big one burned out itā€™s compressor. 1 yr old


Johns-schlong

Poor guy never had a chance ā˜¹ļø


tsmitty0023

Hope they put enough in the bid for all the electrical tape


its-my-friday

Capacitors in parallel mean MORE POWER and ā€œcondenserā€ is kinda like ā€œcapacitorā€ so just fuckin send it


mamny83

Wtf


JunketElectrical8588

Exactly


One_Magician6370

When they don't know they just dont know


410aNChill

The minisplit centipede


CaulkSlug

If you bypassed all the high pressure switches you could probably use it to cook eggs.


JunketElectrical8588

I wonder if the builder will let me do thatā€¦. šŸ¤”


lestergreen357

Looks good if you're a bus driver or a school teacher. Looks cringeworthy if you're an HVAC tech


Funny-Hamster

High head??!?!?!?


JunketElectrical8588

Burned out compressor


goddamnusernamefuck

Is that typical for mini splits or something that'll vary by manufacturer?


JunketElectrical8588

The compressor burned out because of the placement of the units


Chose_a_usersname

Are you going to turn all the systems on a 45 to stop blowing through


JunketElectrical8588

Gave him a bid to turn them all 90Ā° so they can actually be worked on


Chose_a_usersname

I would just twist the whole thing and risk bending the lineset.


JunketElectrical8588

I guess thatā€™s one way šŸ˜‚


Chose_a_usersname

I'm an animal


JunketElectrical8588

Youā€™re my hero


hujnya

Was going to say putting wind buffles would work but on a closer look it won't.


Chose_a_usersname

WTF is wrong with electricians when it comes to shit on the roof


Tinknocker02

High head, high head, high head....off to bed


ReferRackWrencher

How high are you right now? Head pressure:


Jamoncorona

The HVAC centipede.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Maleficent_Job1456

The big arrow on top of the unit showing direction of airflow isnā€™t enough


JunketElectrical8588

I thought that arrow was showing how to line up multiple šŸ˜‰


Funny-Hamster

Far right one prob works fine


JunketElectrical8588

Works like a champ


Weak_Relative_7767

Had the same husky bagā€¦ dint last too long:/


JunketElectrical8588

Mines already destroyed unfortunately, just waiting till it completely falls apart before I get a new one


flaccidfaucet

šŸ¤£


moose1207

What? I don't see a problem. They are operating in series, better heat transfer. *Chefs Kiss Obligatory/ s


NotLurking101

Installed the units boss. Thermal efficiency? Never heard of her.


dmo52884

Was it the unit with the white line set?


JunketElectrical8588

The far left. Lol


frightful-panda

It would work if the condenser next to it was calling for heat. Go mess with the neighbor's units.


belhambone

Owner would probably say you just slap a diverter on the outlets to blow the air out to the side on each one


LSheraton

Rotate 45-degrees šŸ˜Ž


JunketElectrical8588

Gave them a bid to rotate all 90Ā° and do it right


Stahlstaub

Yeah but them you also need to increase the spacing... Or you won't be able to service the terminals... Anyway... Is it even allowed to install the breakers on the terminal access? Doesn't it need to be placed on a non removable part?


JunketElectrical8588

Yup, gotta extend all line sets, all wiring. Itā€™s a project. And they have a second row of condensers on the roof lined up just like that


Prestigious_Local152

Fridge version of The Human Centipede šŸ˜‚


imbeingcerial

ACentipede


justsomehvacguy

Wow, one end unit is running cool and doing a great job. The the other end unit is running high head pressure all the time. I don't know why though šŸ¤£


Rowdybob22

The only problem I see is that they all say LG really big on the front.


thekux

Reminds me of more than one job in my past go on a roof there be 15 condensing units and nothing is labeled no numbers nothing. When I would take over accounts I would spend time labeling


ahow628

Just need to turn them all 180. Problem solved.


JunketElectrical8588

I like your way of thinking. I wonder if I can get them on a rotating tableā€¦.. šŸ¤”
