Customer calls: āOur breading station isnāt getting cold.ā
I looked at it for about 0.1 seconds. š
Cap tube was cold (literally just felt it with my finger). Been doing this long enough to know what that usually means ā sheās low on refrigerant charge.
Got a tap on it, put some R-290 back in the system, and got that thing pulling temperature again.
Just like that, theyāre back in business and ready to survive the weekend rush. No spoiled product. No downtime.
Customer was HAPPY! š
And for anyone wondering, the capillary tube on this machine is brazed to the suction line. This actually categorizes it as a heat exchanger. Can you tell I used to train technicians? š
