So, a few weeks ago, I posted a thread about a glycol chiller that had been "acting funny for awhile." Thought I had it licked. Turns out, there was a leak in the system, and the seals DID burn up on the pump after all. Had to replace it.
Then, what I thought was a "quirky" solenoid was actually the TXV malfunctioning, and causing the loop temp to drop. This also had to be replaced because I failed to acknowledge this problem months ago. The expensive lesson I learned is this. Equipment has no personality, it has no mind, it can express no emotion. It cannot "act" funny every now and then, it cannot be "quirky." If something is not functioning in the manner with which it was designed, then something is definitely wrong, no matter how simple a remedy it requires, and it should receive immediate attention.
I'm sure 99% of you know this already, I simply wish to address the other 1% that are like me. Lesson learned!
