As soon as I heard that loud hum I could have told you something wasn't spinning up. You probably have either a seized fan motor, or a bad starter. Either of these would pop a fuse.
@@juniorelectrician2005I was going to say the same thing. The fuse which popped, may have been the same hood as the light. Though who knows what might be wired up in that box
I work maintenance for a restaurant, the rectangular hole you pointed out to be an air intake is wrong. It’s just air rushing in since the motor on the roof is off or not working. Also the red buttons are normally gas shut offs to the kitchen if there was a fire.
I do refrigeration. Worked on many walk in coolers. Those bohn heatcraft evaporators look to be from the 1970s. The cooler probably uses R 22 freon which is quite expensive per pound. What i would do is reclaim the remaining r22, charge system with nitrogen, and try to find any leaks, and repair. Then totally evacuate the system with my vacuum pump, and i then recharge with Bluon TDX 20 which is an R 22 alternative, and way way cheaper per pound than R 22. I charge $25 per pound for the Bluon. Depending on the length of line from the condenser to evap you may need at leadt 5 pounds of TDX 20. It works much better than r22. R22 is going anywhere from $150 to $200 per pound. The walk in freezer uses a different type of freon usually R502 if very old, or R 404A. I have all of these available. Wish me and my girlfriend could come down and help you fix these and everything else. Also you do t want to accidently activate that fire suppression system, if you do you will have one big powderly mess to clean up. I used to work in the restaurant business, and a worker accidently activated the fire suppression system, and we had 2 days worth of mess to clean up. Also the dishwasher that was in your kitchen, may of been a low temp dishwasher, meaning it has no heater, and uses 4 different special chemicals for clean, rinse and sanitizing. A high temp dishwasher usually has a built in 3 phase electric booster heater that heats the water to 180 degrees for sanitizing. You have 160 degrrees for the wash cycle though. Also you may of not heard a breaker trip, could of been one if those motor starting relays you heard clicking. In another video like a month ago i asked you about the electric power meter on this place. Can you please make a video of that meter, show me the primary potential transformers assuming they are mounted on a pole at top. Your meter may be located inside the main power room as well. Would love to see it.
It's probably the smaller hood that tripped since you felt it was a air intake with cold air after the pop. The bigger hood sucked a vacuum causing the hood that tripped to work as intake from outside. That "dishwasher" panel was probably for the smaller hood because that light switch was on there and when you turned the fan on it sounded like only a humming noise and no air movement, so it might as well be that the smaller hood's exhaust fan is jammed causing the motor to pull too much energy trying to get it to spin. The small switch on the dishwasher hood may be for that fan.
The first cooler was a freezer as evidenced by the electric heaters on the coil for defrost. Usually, four times a day, refrigeration will shut off, and a clock will turn on the heating coils to melt any ice.
If I was closer I'd get your permission to come there and cook up a big feast in that kitchen and give it to the homeless and less fortunate ones. Would be cool to see that whole thing in operation.
These videos are cool, the state of the building looks like the "urbex of an abandoned asylum" videos except that these guys own it and can show a lot more of what's going on.
This would be really fun to work on. As a HVAC tech, I find this stuff very interesting. I am very excited for this series and hope that you keep making videos coming. It will be really neat seeing all this old equipment come back to life.
You should find a spot on the wall in your electrical room to make a "Wall Of Fame" Where you write in sharpie the names and date of everyone that donates to the building. Put a shot of the wall at the beginning or end of every video.
Already left a comment about this on another video, but i find this entire building super cool! If you end up installing a new fire alarm system please do record the installation process.
There was another switch that had a green tag on it connected to the fire system. If you pull that, it will dump the tanks and start spraying chemicals from under the hood. The handle is right under the tanks with a green tag hanging on it.
Hi from England (UK) this whole project looks really interesting there's not many people have a whole building to play In alright I know your working but it's still playing you know what I mean. Make sure you clean those fan filters and make sure the motor wiring is away from sharp edges had a whole kitchen shut down once because the fan wiring had a bare spot rubbed on it and it kept tripping the GFCI was a real nuisance to get fixed
The 'Emergency Stop' buttons are NOT for triggering the fire suppression systems. The fire suppression systems are, however, tied in with the HVAC system and it's possible there is a link to the emergency stop system so it can shut off machines in the event of fire. The fire suppression system is independent and responds to various sensors in the area and in the HVAC ducting.
Maybe you could make a bit of a longer video on that emergency generator. Possibly about getting it running and seeing if it can power the whole building
The psych ward is so big that you can open a museum. Put some transparent tiles on the ceiling to see what's behind, find a room to install those old pcs and some papers with psych ward's dark story.
That e stop button should trip a shunt trip breaker and solenoid valve if you have gas to turn off the appliances under the hoods and could turn on the fans. The fire suppression system should also fobthe same thing and dump thebl chemicals. When the exhaust fan is turned on it should also turn on the make up air unit other wise you will put the building under severe negative pressure.
Does the building have elevators you should check them out and activate them i would like to see the elevator motor room thanks watching from queensland australia
Industrial equipment commonly uses NVR power switching. This means that even a momentary loss of power means than the device's power switch, relay or whatever in instantly released and stays that way until manually started. It's a common safety feature. The 'Emergency Stop' buttons are likely driving a relay that momentarily breaks a circuit that provides power to the NVR contactor in each machine, or may cause a main contactor to release cutting all power. Pushing an Emergency Stop will therefore result in the power being cut to all the machines and stopping them until they are individually manually restarted.
hey, I'm from Poland, I'm impressed by your videos about this facility, I especially like watching this one video about the fans in the kitchen, it's amazing how loud it is and I'm also interested in electricity, in Poland it looks completely different, I'm very impressed with this control, it doesn't exist in Poland in Poland there are completely different fuses, it's just great, but in which country is the facility about which this film is located?
I think he mentioned he rigged up some sort of communications or wifi or something for some cameras (don't quote me on it tho,) and the building has a PA system but he only found 1 speaker. Seems like they took all those at one point. In that same video he hooked a walkie talkie radio into the PA system and could talk into the PA wirelessly. I'm pretty sure any telecom is next to the boilers with all those breakers.
The e stop was likely tied to the ANSUL system. It likely killed the gas supply, electric power to any appliances under the hood system, and make up air, but left the exhaust running to remove any smoke from possible kitchen fire.
I wanna see vintage computers running. And btw I'm not subscribed with this account because I'm subscribed with another one. And I created this one because that account doesn't show video comments I don't know why. I really wanna see vintage computers running. I love vintage computers too much. One day I found on garbage some vintage green laptops with windows xp and I saved them. They stay on 3 hours with battery power and they still work (19 year old pcs).
I've seen a few glowing in his videos but most don't, as for emergency lights, no none of them will work anymore, they're way past their life expectancy, as well as being completely discharged for many years
@@Warp2090 you *can* but after sitting 15-20 years, especially with sealed lead acid, it's probably not worth the effort to restore them, as for the exit signs, just pop new bulbs in and they're good as new
Likely they would need new batteries. If that place had been vacant for a while and the power turned off, this would have likely drained the batteries. Some may need restoration of the charging circuits too.
Absolutely! We are awaiting help to get it moved to the basement so it's in a heated area. Right now it's on 2 south, and with the weather right now, it's quite cold, resulting in it not operating correctly. Once it's in a heated area, we will certainly do a video of it! Thanks for watching
The emergency stop button turns off all heat pumps and appliances and leaves the exhaust fans on in case of a fire to pull all the oxygen out of the room
The very first time u ever turmed on the main to the hood was a few dechades of dust (Ark Flash) if u wear headphones can hear it. But other few times u did it can tell that dust is flashed out 😅
So weird, why would the freezer evaporator coil be spotless and the Refrigerator Evap coil be extremely filthy. Did they clean the Freezer evap coil? Did they replace it? What is with that.

You should try to start the generator that’s at the building

Would be cool to see some of the access control systems, or whatever is left of it anyway
start the cooling tower with an hvac technician and turn on all the ac units it would be a very good video

Love to see the generator get serviced and run and maybe see if the building will switch over to it
So awesome. I wonder if there's any other channels liks this, or video series on messing with building systems?
That e stop button should trip a shunt trip breaker and solenoid valve if you have gas to turn off the appliances under the hoods and could turn on the fans. The fire suppression system should also fobthe same thing and dump thebl chemicals. When the exhaust fan is turned on it should also turn on the make up air unit other wise you will put the building under severe negative pressure.
6:05 could be steam for heating/drying the dishes or cleaning like an autoclave
Nice project. Would like too see the generators running
Does the building have elevators you should check them out and activate them i would like to see the elevator motor room thanks watching from queensland australia
There’s a hydraulic elevator system that he’s working on to get running again. Coincidence, I’m Also from Queensland too!
Could you please make more videos of the old boiler room, or south wing, etc? I like the videos with the more run down/moldy areas.
Its looking good
The emergency stop could have been for a shunt trip on the main panel to cut off everything under the hood.
the dishwasher one motor probably stuck or the belt is destroyed which is why it was running but not spinning.
Industrial equipment commonly uses NVR power switching. This means that even a momentary loss of power means than the device's power switch, relay or whatever in instantly released and stays that way until manually started. It's a common safety feature. The 'Emergency Stop' buttons are likely driving a relay that momentarily breaks a circuit that provides power to the NVR contactor in each machine, or may cause a main contactor to release cutting all power. Pushing an Emergency Stop will therefore result in the power being cut to all the machines and stopping them until they are individually manually restarted.

U.S.A
The emergency stop buttons are probably to cut power to any cooking equipment or the like.
I wondered whether it includes a gas cutoff system as well.
I don’t know if you have yet but if you haven’t can you please make a video of the HVAC?
Im curious: did this building had some kind of server/telecom room?
I think he mentioned he rigged up some sort of communications or wifi or something for some cameras (don't quote me on it tho,) and the building has a PA system but he only found 1 speaker. Seems like they took all those at one point. In that same video he hooked a walkie talkie radio into the PA system and could talk into the PA wirelessly.
I'm pretty sure any telecom is next to the boilers with all those breakers.
@ Hm, interesting! Maybe in the next video he’ll show it
The e-stop is probably for Nat Gas supply.

a generator test would be cool but I know it’s definitely not going to work. Same with the cooling tower 😂
So what's the plan for this building?
It would be cool to see the PA system upgraded with new speakers and amplifiers
Can we see the roof and the outdoor parts of the walk in coolers/exhaust fans?
Buy an abandoned psych ward get a free pizza oven. What a deal!!!
I would like to see the water heaters to see if they can have good flow throughout the building if possible

Are you planning on repairing the back up generator or replacing it
Since it doesn't have many hours, isn't that old and is mostly complete, it would be pretty stupid to replace it. New batteries and some maintenance.

My thoughts too
