This is a job I did in the city. I welded two of those drain pans in one day. The weld is over eleven feet long on each pan. I had to get the welder up to the second floor. And setup temporary power. The electrician wired my short pig tail into the panel. And away I went. I had over seventy five feet of homemade extension chord. A big Johnson Control unit sits in the pans. The guy who took the delivery said each unit is just over 10,000 pounds. They come broken down into two pieces. One piece was heavier then the other. The compressor side. The forklift could just do it, with little safety margin. I brought both of the units around from the parking lot, to the front of the building that had the wall demolished to bring them in. I did it with a duel fuel Toyota fork lift. I noticed that if you bring the forklift up to full speed, down Vanderbuilt Avenue. And come off the gas quickly that it automatically, due to the governor I believe. Switches into reverse. Pretty, cool if you are making a turn into a driveway. The back end just swings right around. I did it twice just to see it one more time.It is a very good thing, I hold onto the wheel from underneath. This is a fan I designed and I am building for a friend. The impeller is a World War Two design. It is cool. If you jam up the air flow there is no extra strain on the motor. With a regular fan blade this is not true. It is rather quiet for a high CFM high static pressure pump. I isolated the intake air from the kitchen exhaust fumes. It draws in air to cool the motor, from the front underside of the little roof I am making to go on top of the cabinet this unit goes into. That whole unit will pull out of the cabinet we mount to the house for service. This guy wanted something really powerful. Sincerely, William McCormick
Reply:This is the machine I used to weld the pans up. You can see they do warp a little. I totally expected that. But with the way they were designed there was not to much else to do. Sincerely, William McCormick |
