Working with history! (PAH)

Dave Yates (PAH)

Serial #001. A venerable d-town York City institution has the need for work on their original chiller system. Imagine my surprise, and joy, at finding this 3-phase beast is the very first chiller unit made for distrubution by our home-town York International! Like a timex watch, took many a likin, but keeps on tikin! Sorry, but my digital was at home. I'll get shots at a later date.

You are a guest at the banquet table of hydronic history

eat all you can. I was very close to York 2 weeks ago on a family outgoing in the great state of "Penn's Wood's." No time to visit...even the Burnham Factory. Dave, is York Barbell still in business? Mad Dog

History

is all around us. I remember working on those old beaties when I was working for a large mech contractor. Number one should be in a museum somewhere. Reminds me of a time when I replaced an old 40 ton Worthington Chiller at my parents church. The start up check sheet was still in the electrical control compartment. The start up had been done by my old HVAC school teacher about the time that I was 10 years old. I called him up and told him. He's been retired for about 20 years. He got a good laugh out of it. The old stuff was pretty amazing.

Don't make 'em like that anymore! Was it an R11 machine? Just like an antique heirloom.

Dave Bush

I'd guess that that machine was most likely SO2 or R12, rather than R11.

What model # was that one, Dave?

Dave Yates (PAH)

only one number

#001

Don't know which refrigerant its using & there's no literature. A long-ago retired gent who worked in the trades and is a member of the orginization has taken gentle loving care of this antique. He's kept it in excellent condition. I'm anxious to meet him.

Dave, please go out tonight and buy some film for your camera and post a picture. I would be most interested in seeing this chiller: it would bring back many memories I am sure of the days I was an apprentice.

ALl the best and hug your kids or grandkids as the case may be.
