Snip the Bull****.
So What I think is your just another computor Geek wanting to be somebody. Knock your self out. So wrong. Just ****ed off that your system isnt this fast or nice. Did you ever figure out how hyperthreading works? This is Turtle. You say I'm ****ed off because my computor is not fast and nice. WOW, You got me to thinking here and I will call my computor man and ask him if i'm fast enough. He said I had a 1.1 Ghz ram , 120 Ghz memory, 256 hz game or sound card, and to leave it alone for you good enough. So that solved that. Well your question here , Did you ever figure out how hyperthreading works? No , but Did you ever figure out yet that i don't give a Rates Ass what you think ! If you do , let me know. TURTLE |

I'm just following you around and when you have something hateful, distasteful, or stupid things to say about me. i fire on your stupid ass. I have told you all alone if you stop speaking disrespectful words at me. I will do the same. No but you keep it up and expect me to not fire on you ever **** time you speak. Now all you do is say Lest stop it and you stop it and I will stop it. I will say OK and it is all over with. Here is the deal but if you don't expect me to be on your ass everytime you speak disrespectful with my name in your thoughts or words. you are water headed to think so.

Before I put an electric heater in, I would put an unvented natural/propane
gas heater in the coldest spot. (unless you have small rooms and closed doors) I have one in the kitchen/living room area and we use it when it is too warm to start a fire in the woodstove. Just make sure you put a Carbon monoxide detector in the room. -- Joe The problem too is that the house is cold on one end and warm on the other in the winter.

What do you think happens to an all steel ship, with frozen storage holds 6 decks deep, below the water level, with only the outside of envelope of the holds insulated, not the steel plates between the holds...those welded solid of course across the hull. Thats exciting. Phil Scott No it's not. What thrills you about modern steels used at low temperatures? It's an everyday occurance. Don't be so afraid. You didnt answer the question. I do. I met the design builder in Honolulu two months later. So tell me what happened in this case. It was in alaska approx 1981. Smart remarks dont count, just an outcome and what would cause that outcome. Many people I talk to in this business know instantly what will happen in a case like that. With a change of 100 deg F, thermal expansion / contraction of mild steel is appx 3/4in per 100 ft. of length. In your case above it is concievable that the inner welds could have failed given it was a fairly large ship, and provided the temperature change occured rapidly enough that heat heat wasnt transferred quickly enough so as to equally soak all of the structural members. In real life, this would be pretty damned difficult to accomplish, at best--100 deg is a fairly large delta. As the refrigeration systems were started up, 3ea 600 ton ammonia screw machines, the holds reached minus 20F... the bankers and other other investors were gathered on deck drinking champagne and eathing sushi... a noise some described as a howitzer being fired occurred, and the ship shook violently as the high rollers fled for the gang plank and watched the ship break in half and sink in a matter of minutes, all that was sticking out of the water was an antenna mast I met the guy who designed and built the refrigeration on the ship in Honollulu about 6 months later. (getting ready be the chief engineer on one of Haddon Salts lobster boats ..H Salt Esquire fish and chips magnate... I met him in Honolulu as well and refrigerated one of his boats, a 160' lobster boat...a single stage R502 blast freeze system fit into one of the boats holds.) Phil Scott -- SVL |

The downside to window shakers- 1) Security...Your home is easily accessed if the burglar simply removes the unit. Bull****. Pulling a unit FROM THE OUTSIDE is a LOT harder than just breaking a window or kicking in a door. Paul ( pjm @ pobox . com ) This is Turtle. Earth to Trailor house Paul. i see you did not know about Theif 101 on the street. All you do to break in a place with window shackers is to take crow bar and lift the window slide up about 1 or 2 inches and then let the window unit fall out the window and hit the ground. Then watch the cord still being plugged in but just stand on the window shacker to climb in the wide open window where the window unit use to be. So you are saying that those times you DO install a window unit, you dont secure it properly?? Amazing.. This is Turtle. i know your just tring to defend your Buddy Paul the Soft ware salesman , but this does tell me that you have not worked on window units for you would know better to defend him when he messes up like this. how Many sheet metal screw can you put in a plastic case of the window shacker to hold back a 4 foot craw bar to pop them out with one pry? BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ , Wrong again. TURTLE BZZZT...wrong again Terry. Remember the post a week ago about the cafe that could not have a central air system installed due to the landlord? They got two new window units, and I dare you to either get the window open, OR just as you say....one pry and they are out. Nope..not happening. I suppose you dont install the support legs, or take the time to fil in the casement, or anything that resembles anything other than throw it in, and run, after of course, raping the customer. Now..Im not even gonna tell you about how some of us, insure that the units DONT come back out is someone with ill intentions wants in.. Plastic CASE?? What kind of **** are you installing in these cases TErry? I mean for GOD SAKE, even the cheap Wally World units come with a nice metal case. This is Turtle. WRONG !!!!! Bet me your business I cant install a window unit that your theif buddy cant get out...period..on teh ground... Bet me Terry, cause you will loose. This is Turtle earth to Stevey the Window wonder ! We are not talking about the ones you install for a bet but let us drive down the city street and just stop at the first window unit we see sticking out a window and turn a pro theif loose on it to see if he can pop it out in just a few second at most. In my years in the business i have seen a bunch of window unit and very few even had a screw in them to hold it in and more than half had no supports on the outside to hold it up. So Stevey Window Wonder , we don't want to hear about you window shaker installing ability but the hvac business as a whole. TURTLE |

What do you think happens to an all steel ship, with frozen storage holds 6 decks deep, below the water level, with only the outside of envelope of the holds insulated, not the steel plates between the holds...those welded solid of course across the hull... I'm having trouble picturing this. As the refrigeration systems were started up, 3ea 600 ton ammonia screw machines, the holds reached minus 20F... the bankers and other other investors were gathered on deck drinking champagne and eating sushi... a noise some described as a howitzer being fired occurred, and the ship shook violently as the high rollers fled for the gang plank and watched the ship break in half and sink... Interesting... Would you describe what happened more exactly? The steel bulkheads and decking shrank but the outer hull of the ship didnt becauase it was of course immersed in 50 degree sea water not allowing it to cool along with the bulkhead and deck plate. the shrink would have been in the 1" range, heavy steel plate, enough to crack the hull all the way around and below the water line. The ship would have been of course heavier on one side of the crack, that weight and boyancy differential would have pulled it apart. When I met the engineer. a greek guy I forgot his name he was in Honolulu atire, shorts, and boots..and no hair on his body...he told me the story.. he got so upset he shed all of his hair and had to take a range of calm down pills and see a shrink. Phil Scott Odd they didn't try this before the bankers showed up... :-) Nick |

Phil , I think you being selected to be drummed out of alt.hvac because your ability to reason and figure stuff out better than Steve sea breezer and Paul the cat lover. Look at all the past replys and you will see a team effort from these two to remove you with words of dislike. Most people with a good education will not see a game being plaied by trashy People in team effort. Just Be Aware ! Thanks,,,i had noticed that too. Mostly I kill file those types after a short exchange. They sure arent doing the trade anygood. its those types that drag the rates down also. You dont see them out here on the west coast or even in Texas to any extent. it seems to a south east coast but primarily florida problem due to lax licensing and whatever. Phil Scott This is Turtle. Louisiana and Florida are about the same with no licences or traning required. All you need is a $200.00 operator permitt and a set of guages, drum of gas , EPA test card, and your a expert. About the ''''' Control-A-troll ''''' around alt.hvac, there is a few want-a-bee salesmen and small time scam artist that wants to control the alt.hvac, but they are not smart enough to know you may get control for one day and then get shot out of the saddle the next day by the next fellow you try to get out of the group. i think sometimes that these Control-A-troll think that they can get control of the group to have it like a advertisment place for Paul's HVAC Software and Sea Breeze Steve's HVAC parts sold over the internet. Just some thoughts here. OK that explains the motive at least for idiots. They would have been a lot smarter to have not run off the talented posters... those are the ones most people arrive to read. So now these folks have a tiny customer base of idiots...that type never spends much money. So , speak freely and just don't worry about the Contol-A-trolls . I only see alt.HVAC posts when someone cross posts to alt.building.construction...otherwise these people were not impressive.. appliance repairmen for the most part.. nothing above the home owner level. The real money in this business is in large commercial installations and service, the larger hotels, chillers etc over 100 tons, many in Florida over 500 tons. that work bills out at over 90 dollars an hour. Here in calif 120 dollars an hour...and parts profits can double that. Same with the industrial market we have here in Silicon valley.. semi conductor clean rooms also in Texas and the north east. especially the DDC controls end of it. I tried to tip these guys to that market but it was a no go....that market takes both brains and a professional demeanor.. the brains can be fixed up by understanding a few principles of physics. Most of the applicance types seem to think physics is over their head...but its actually not if these are fortunate enough to have a good mentor. alas... it was not to be. Now that I see who these guys are Im not going to spend any time on it. We working class folks, including engineers such as myself are about to be screwed entirely to the wall here in the US as new immigrants are doing most of this work cheap..and the high end is being exported to india. Its going to pay many of these guys to get some more high end skills.. On the bottom end there will always be some appliance work but at 10 bucks an hour, a tough way to make a living. Phil Scott this is Turtle. this group is not the caliber to talking to , to fill that set of boots. we are techs, small business owners, Software salesmen, and a few want a bee King of the Hill. I think the show King of the hill best describes the alt.hvac.. i knew of only three people who come through here that could be interested in the offers you spoke of but they was run off by the stupid King of the Hill Game.

Bugger off Phil, I didn't have a problem with you until you started spouting ****. hvacrmedic This is Turtle. OK you have the ability to take on a 700 Ton chiller bid on jobs. Now who else here has that ability around here to take it on. There is nobody here with any respectiable words or company that could take on this type job. i ask sometime back about a bid on a Casino job that would run into the Millions and i had a line on it for being one of the good old boy indians. i ask here did anybody want to take the job for i can hand it to them if they wanted it. Nobody want any of it or even spoke of taking it. the job would be for Grand Casino corp. in Kinder , Louisiana. also i don't know Phil but he did touch on the problems we was having and what or how stupid we have become on the newsgroup. Weither Phil is a Troll , No body , or a King of the HVAC world makes no difference but what he saids was very much true. Now I'm sorry for offending you with my Frankly spoken words but what i think , I will speak. Now here is some more words and don't concider them coming from anybody but ME. We at alt.hvac have become a bunch of kids fighting over control of the group and also there is for some reason we will run off anybody that wants to speak professionally with no cussing or name calling. i see professional come in and just a little while i see then say well see you, i can't handle this stupidity going on here. also we have become a place where a tech can't ask a question openly without someone flaming on him for now knowing something about the question he ask. It's call ask a question , we see what you don't know, and then let's make a ass out of him for not knowing what he ask about in the question. You can see for your self that no one ask open questions about the business for if they do they will get put down for not knowing something some GOD or King of the HVAC world thinks that person should know and I'm not talking about Stormy. I can ask a simple question right now and if Jake is not around. No one will want to answer it for you get fired on to answer simple questions which shows you are not a HVAC GOD and should be run off. Now here is the group's condition and if it offends you, Sorry about that. If it don't offend you. You may want to look at what is going on here and try to do something about it. TURTLE |

TURTLE If these guys were doing major chiller jobs they wouldnt be bragging about their 10 dollar hour wage, and discussing residential systems, then failing to respond entirely with technical insight on the high end industrial issues. People who do industrial systems like to talk that tech...and know the issues. When I was postng alt.HVAC only one guy was able to discuss the business at that level. the ability to discuss that level of technology is the proof of the pudding, not listing the names of some fortune 500 companies and claiming one does work for them.

You can see for your self that no one ask open questions about the business for if they do they will get put down for not knowing something some GOD or King of the HVAC world thinks that person should know and I'm not talking about Stormy. I can ask a simple question right now and if Jake is not around. No one will want to answer it for you get fired on to answer simple questions which shows you are not a HVAC GOD and should be run off. Now here is the group's condition and if it offends you, Sorry about that. If it don't offend you. You may want to look at what is going on here and try to do something about it. TURTLE If these guys were doing major chiller jobs they wouldnt be bragging about their 10 dollar hour wage, and discussing residential systems, then failing to respond entirely with technical insight on the high end industrial issues. People who do industrial systems like to talk that tech...and know the issues. When I was postng alt.HVAC only one guy was able to discuss the business at that level. the ability to discuss that level of technology is the proof of the pudding, not listing the names of some fortune 500 companies and claiming one does work for them. Actually all Ive really seen from you so far besides a re-cap of commercial refrigeration through time is some cockamamy story about a ship supposedly popping apart... And at this juncture the solution is fairly obvious= build a new ship........ -- SVL |
