This video is a great introduction to the many types of Refrigeration & HVAC equipment used in a typical supermarket, and what’s involved in servicing them.
Is the heat from the high pressure side of the system typically used to heat the store as well? I work in the meat cutting department at a supermarket and it’s very cold in our store. When I found out the condensers were outside the store (near receiving in our case), it made sense why the store was so cold. The way these systems are designed basically turns the entire store into a refrigerator.
@@ayeeniko If you mean other than the meat cutting area then the owners are probably being cheap about it if its like that during the winter time. But if you work in the meat department its always going to be cold in there.
Have worked on supermarket refrigeration most of my life. Retired now, don't miss the 2 am phone call because a store has a 9 watt motor out in a 12 foot dairy case! Or water dripping on the produce cooler floor at 1am when no one is even working in the department!
On residential refrigerator's I noticed the freezers will only get down to negative 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Is it a design flaw? Since icecream should be colder. Great video
@@mattheww3116 Yes it does matter which rotation. If you look at the blade you will see that it is concaved. It is shaped like a scoop. The fan should turn in the rotation that the blade "scoops" the air towards you
A helper in a NYC union starts about $18 per hour. This is if you are totally green. For the next 5 years, you get raises until you become a Journey Man. At that rate, you would make about $42.00 per hour in the union
I did hvac for 20 years and yes you are correct, it's 24 hour work. I shut down my company in 2020 due to Covid and I now tender to my real estate investments. Supermarkets are a pain in the ass and yes they will call you at any time of the day or night and when they do, they want you there immediately, like in 1 hour or less!! I learned quickly and really honed my skills working on those compressor racks but after a few years I stopped working for supermarkets, got tired of the unrealistic demands they put on you and the pay isn't great, most large supermarket owner (or company) are very cheap, they want million dollar service for pennies on the dollar and they are absolutely always on the hunt for someone to replace you who will work for cheaper than you.
Can those fridge doors open by them selves cuz a week ago I was at Safeway in the milk aisle at night by my self and all the fridge doors behind me like 5 or 4 opened up like 3/4 and then shut. The area just felt weird
If it’s a milk case but also a walk-in cooler usually when someone shuts the door from the other side the air pressure forces the outside doors to open
The only video on CZcams that explains what I do at work

Niko Ramos you can make use of the heat with a heat reclaim system

Must be quite different nowadays

How can I get into the refrigeration side? I am a HVAC technician at a public school district currently
This is what I work on and I love it
You'll never see such a clean roof 🤣
Must be a new store
Captain Mullet can fix anything, or his mullet would not be near that luxurious.
His mullet is bigger than her ponytail.
😂😂😂👍👍
Nice Mullet!!
Great video and good job thanks 😊
This was pretty cool and well done
Well done.
Thanks.
Nice video , please continue.
Love that service truck
Great video
Thank you for the video
Oh my god! I’m in the HVAC School and I started to like refrigeration.
Thank You
Thats a badass mullet
What do utilities run on buildings such as this each month? Would it be close to $25,000?
This dude has a gnarly mullet 😎
Good video, done well! Some of the equipment is a bit outdated.
The coolest part of this video is that dude's hair.
Putting this video on my resume lol
Holy mullet bob ross would love it . Coooooooling. He had a longer mullet. Static coils air curtains blah blah blah
Will you get the job of commercial refrigeration
And what will be the salary
Wonder what these units look like now

Just wondering about the backward spinning fan motor at 6:58
It doesn't matter which way the fans spin. But it's best if it draws the air upwards
camera effect
@@mattheww3116 Yes it does matter which rotation. If you look at the blade you will see that it is concaved. It is shaped like a scoop. The fan should turn in the rotation that the blade "scoops" the air towards you
@@adammiller2246 Is what I am saying
@@adammiller2246 that's what I was gonna say..and....la looks green gel is great for mullets
And they probably go on a defrost and they go through a condenser On the roof of most buildings
Congratulation You have a pretty truck or car i speak litle English
Un sistema de refrigeración compacto.RAK
Cool
#frigoristesteve
This shit was filmed when R22 first hit the market
R507 is not envirofriendly today, its a good refrigerant, but bad för the enviroment, use co2 instead.
How much do supermarket refrigeration hvac techs make (starting salary)???
A helper in a NYC union starts about $18 per hour. This is if you are totally green. For the next 5 years, you get raises until you become a Journey Man. At that rate, you would make about $42.00 per hour in the union
@@adammiller2246 nice! So How much is each raise and will it take only 5 years to reach 42 per hour?
Over 100 k a year easily!!
Hvac in a supermarket sounds like alot of after hours calls ! No thanks would be great for a single person
Oh, you are sooo right!! Been there done that. But making about 125 k a year was nice!

Why did I just watch this.

He acts like he knows what he is doing with the CPU system

Min 5:00
Not enough time to look at the diagram before narrative starts - "hustling" effect.
Pause

"Gee... Why didn't I think of that?"
... The videographer could clip the time down shorter still - save on screen-time display.
@@hg2. I think you're on to something there
@@mattheww3116
Very funny.
Otherwise this is a very well done video, but they forget that it's for teaching purposes and not entertainment.
No way that video was made in 2004
Did they sell you this video and you edited the jokes out? This isn't the original
Nice pony tail
What?! Makes, bags, AND stacks the ice? What scorcery is this? I had to stack the ice by hand once I filled a cart from the warehouse freezer. 🧊🥶
