Remember to Check Your New or Refurbished Compressor for Oil

Written by admin

Compressor Tips You Need To Know

  1. A binary pressure switch is a safety device that has two functions; these are to cut the compressor off if the refrigeration charge is too low or the charge is lost if the compressor has run dry, thus preventing major damage to the unit.
  2. If the head pressure reaches dangerous levels the compressor will cut out in order to prevent further damage to any other parts; these could include blowing a hose.
  3. For those in the know it is imperative that you install the binary switch on the liquid side of the a/c which is situated between the condensor unit and the expansion valve.
  4. The expansion valve is a refrigeration device that creates the pressure or the temperature to drop; the expansion valve operates in such a way where the pressure zones are divided into two. The two referred here are low and high pressure areas.
  5. If you are using oils always ensure that the container is kept tightly capped at all times as any moisture that is absorbed would cause major damage to your system.
  6. Never, ever mix any oils and read the instructions using the correct oils in your unit at all times which have been specified by the manufacturer.
  7. Check your new compressor for oil as many new and refurbished compressors will come without oil.
  8. Insufficient oil will damage your compressor.
  9. Excessive oil will also cause damage to your compressor.
  10. There are two types of piston compressors; these include the opposed axial type, and the single row axial otherwise known as the wobble-plate type.

 

One of the most important components that make your air conditioner functioning optimally at all times is the compressor.

South African Construction

Written by Theresa Anne

The recent credit crisis has had negative effects on construction right across the globe, but with the gradual recovery in the world economy, there is a definite upswing, especially on local territory.


A perfect example of negative effects on building and construction is the Middle East. Dubai is also making a huge come-back, with property being attractive to investors, and especially those that are based in the GCC countries, such as Kuwait and Bahrain.


Civil engineering companies provide a full range of installation and design, but if you are thinking of building an office block or home, choose a company that has a good track record, excellent history and background and one which is reputable.


South Africa has so much to be proud of; not least the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup Tournament, when so many outstanding world-class stadiums were built by our excellent local civil engineers, making us stand head and shoulders above the rest of the world  and walk tall amongst the best of the best globally. Since the 2010 FIFA World Cup the world has viewed South Africa in a totally different light, with South Africa earning huge respect. This has lead to strong foreign investment.


Civil engineers are also responsible for the excellent Gautrain that many of us find a necessity; something we did not dream of having access o in the past.

Civil Engineering

Written by Theresa Anne




The interesting thing about civil engineering is that it impacts largely on all aspects of our lives.
Civil engineers are the professionals that design and build the infrastructure of our modern-day world, such as stadiums, roads dams etc, and they ensure that essential and vital services are put in place in. Vital systems such as our electrical systems, water systems, dams, canals, bridges and buildings; these are all designed and build by our civil engineers.


Civil engineers are responsible for the design and also the maintenance of our airports railways ports and all our bridges, too.


Civil engineering is the oldest engineering after military engineering and this is broken up into various smaller disciplines; these include materials engineering, geotechnical engineering , environmental engineering and urban engineering to name a couple of the sub-disciplines that fall under the civil engineering umbrella.


Improving the living conditions of people and creating spaces for people to live in, therefore playing an integral in the upliftment of whole communities falls on the shoulders of civil engineers.


It is therefore imperative that in a democracy that a high standard of infrastructure and a high standard of design and building is available to all. We all have a right to excellent living conditions where our children will be able to work and play and grow in a society where these facilities are available to all.
Find out more about civil engineering and other kinds of engineering that are important to keep our country running smoothly.

Construction industry

Written by admin

Going to a technical high school I was familiarized with the different trades that are available, such as fitting and turning, motor mechanics and building constructions which is commonly known as the construction industry. You need to be made of a certain clothe to be able to excel in the construction industry and to make a prosperous career out of it.
Having a job or owning a construction requires certain types of skills and training, and even those with countless years of experience learn new things everyday out there on the job.
The construction industry consists of several of qualified professionals such as:
• Architects
• Engineers
• Town planners
No matter the job type in construction there is always something new to do and learn from cities are gradually being modified as to be ushered into the 21st century, as long as something needs to be build those in the construction industry will always have work.

Construction superintendent

Written by admin

It is always wise to hire employees that you can trust, that treat their job as if they own company themselves. Hard work, dedication, responsibility and a strong work ethic are good characteristics of an employee especially a construction superintendent.
A construction superintendent is a contractors point man on a construction site, although the job may differ slightly from each construction site, a construction superintendent is responsible for the overall operation on  site, making them solely responsible for the execution and completion of the construction project at hand.
The most important tasks that a construction superintendent does are:
• Scheduling: Making sure the project is running like clock work
• Timing:  Job done in a set time frame
• Responsibility: Arrive there on time
• Multi-tasking: Handling different things all at one time
The word construction superintendent may also be known as construction manager and this is what these people basically do, they make sure a project is completed effectively and efficiently.
