Impressive work, I work as a building watch engineer but I never really touched our chillers, just on bms because our building is 3 years old with service contracts on. I’m surprised you don’t have an assistant or helper with you to do this type of big job. I would love to apprentice under you so I could learn. Great work!!
Thank you and yes your building being so new everything is still under warranty so you good right there. I am bad because I should seek help but I always find myself comfortable by myself BUT I don’t mind teaching.
That is awesome and welcome to the trade. Great trade where you almost learn something new everyday. I will do my very best to capture some of the things I do on the trade. Thanks for watching!
@@htxrsx2047 this is awesome to hear from another Hines person. Yes absolutely it’s a little more hands on. Unfortunately I am now in a smaller building with no chillers so it will be a while till I touch them again.
@@GroupBEJ25 I work for a high rise building in downtown (55 floors) and its a AA building so our budget is high, we just contract every repair needed but it sucks because we don’t get to touch any of the equipment. Only when we do preventative maintenance on our AHU and Cooling Tower. Hines is a great company!
@@htxrsx2047 ah sounds good yea budget is key especially when the company owns the building. Lately the buildings I have been in Hines just do 3rd party management so it has been quit a learning curve for me. Yes in deed I am currently clocking 16 years + with Hines but obviously the east region, Washington DC. Congrats maybe I’ll stop by one day when I come to Texas. Do you happen to work with Eduardo L?
@@GroupBEJ25 wow what a milestone! I’ve only been with Hines for roughly 1 years and a half but my dad has been working for them for about 20 years. Unfortunately i do not recognize the name but im sure i will meet him eventually. We are in the south region and its hot down here so our operations are a little different. Its awesome seeing someone across the state working for Hines! My dad works at Texas Tower which is the Headquarters for Hines.
@@htxrsx2047 got it welcome on board almost 2 years there so you are doing something right. Indeed it’s awesome given cross country with the same Company. All the best. Oh yes your dad is in the main building that awesome to hear!
Awesome glad you loving your career. Unfortunately I am in a building where there isn’t much to film anymore as the major PM are taken care of but I I will do my best to film when I can. Thanks for watching!
@@kcomfortsystemshvac7060 how’s it going. Yes so the tube cleaning is once a year. But we also perform other oil and refrigerant analysis annually as well as efficiency test on the chillers.
So luckily we have several engineers. The apprentice will hang photos,tampons and paint as well. Mechanics perform PM of all the equipment and operators stay close to the BMS as well as scheduling contractors for major PM, creating engineer schedule, accrual bill back, invoices etc.
That’s what was about to say l operate a utility plant my white shirt wouldn’t look good at end of my day l wear dark jeans and blue dark shirt . One day l could be working on boilers other day l could be in kitchen working on a grill to BAS system to a vav box in ceiling to cascade refrigerator to cleaning cooling tower to AHU ect

Great Video. Super informative and interesting. Give us more like this whenever you can.
I appreciate you for watching the video and giving feedback. I will definitely try my best to include more videos like this in the future.
I am an apprentice with the union, working on chillers and your videos are very informative, please make more of this content, thank you!

I work for Hines down in Houston, Tx and we do not work on chillers like this. Awesome work!

Please keep up the good work.
A well done doing what you have passion in, as it makes a lot of difference even when work sucks some times.
Really clean place. Good job
Very clean facility, impressive 👏.
Preventive maintenance is the key for a smooth summer.
Thank I appreciate it… and also thanks for watching.
Great video. I’m in the same field and love it. Make more videos like this.

Great work 👍 ( tension ) was the word you were looking for.
Yes absolutely you hit right in the nail. Thanks and thanks for watching as well!!!
I worked as a building mentanance assistance and I did not know.
Nice one mate,,,, how many time ,,every years you schedule maintenance,,,those big boys ?
@@kcomfortsystemshvac7060 how’s it going. Yes so the tube cleaning is once a year. But we also perform other oil and refrigerant analysis annually as well as efficiency test on the chillers.
@@GroupBEJ25 annual schedule routine…!! 👌
Great content bro👍
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Same field- thanks!
Awesome thanks for watching.
Better to "rod out" the condenser tubes instead of using acid. I have seen acid being left in too long and it destroyed the condenser.
👍 luckily our water treatment does a great job, this tubes so far has been super clean. Unlike my previous buildings.
Some big chillers! I assume this is for a hospital or medical facility?
Yes they are big old though about 34 years old. But this are for a commercial building in DC ( office building )
@GroupBEJ25 must be a damn huge building! Always cool to see the big industrial stuff. Keep up the videos.
@@ZRock7771 yessir it’s a 756 square foot building, only 14 stores high but takes the whole block. Thank you !!!
500 sq feet per ton of cooling or 12000 btu's. Those trane chiller looks like a 800 ton
@@billyflanagan9657 yessir two 800 and two smaller 600 tons chillers all pared together per central plant. One large one small per plant.
You fix Tampon dispensers , hang pictures and paint the floors in the mechanical room and change light bulbs also is that correct?
So luckily we have several engineers. The apprentice will hang photos,tampons and paint as well. Mechanics perform PM of all the equipment and operators stay close to the BMS as well as scheduling contractors for major PM, creating engineer schedule, accrual bill back, invoices etc.
Always seemed so silly to have people who work on dirty equipment wear white dress shirts.
That’s what was about to say l operate a utility plant my white shirt wouldn’t look good at end of my day l wear dark jeans and blue dark shirt . One day l could be working on boilers other day l could be in kitchen working on a grill to BAS system to a vav box in ceiling to cascade refrigerator to cleaning cooling tower to AHU ect
Unfortunately that’s the policy here I don’t agree with it but don’t have a choice.
I'm a lead building engineer and I wear a white shirt and blank pants. I got 11 shirts so if one gets dirty just get another one.
@@joser2011a yes exactly same here. I normally have a couple set on the side for the dirtier jobs.
proper
Thank you!
