    Problems Plotting Wipeout Frames!

    VFD Centrifugal chillers - suitable for locations with very little wet bulb changes

    HVAC68, Don't assume that just because it is a data center that the loads will stay constant. Depending on the applications/services being maintained on those servers/storage, the load can vary wildly or stay pure constant. One data center processing facility I did had an almost constant load...

    How can i draw a revision cloud around sellected cells

    I had a similiar problem and just setup a macro with a worksheet change event to highlight the cell yellow if it changed. Then I had a button at the top to put it back to automatic to "reset" the sheet. Made life much easier to track what the changes were. Zuccus

    -20¦F LCWT on an air cooled chiller

    Hello guys and thanks for reading my issue I have here. I have quite a bit of chiller experience, but this is a new one for me. I am looking for a commercially available air cooled chiller in the net 100 ton range. The issue is it needs to be able to produce -20°F LCWT with -10 to -5° return...

    Calculator of choice?

    I am still kicking it with the TI-85 that I bought in 1992. I found one at a garage sale a few weeks ago that I keep in the closet in case then one goes out.

    How can I tell if the dwg was plotted recently?

    Frank, Thanks for the context. My company uses an approved system for electronic files. If the Autocad files are not complex with multiple xrefs and external links, then this process will work. Once a paper copy of the file has been signed off, an admin moves the electronic file into an...

    control valve on wrong side

    As tys90 said, I would make sure that they didn't cross the supply and return connections to the coil. This could be detrimental to the performance of the coil regardless of the position of the control valve. A couple of old-timers have always told me that it doesn't matter what side the...

    How can I tell if the dwg was plotted recently?

    Frankreid, This is a great reason to have a plot stamp setup in your drawings. I know this doesn't help you now. Out of curosity and based on your other question about saving the file, what is the driver behind needing this information.

    ACAD DWGS ARE HUUUGE!!

    I maybe a little late on this, but delete your layer filters. They have a tendency to overpopulate as your bring blocks in and stuff. I am 90% sure this is your problem. I wrote a script a few years ago to run through all of our drawings on the network one night and delete all of the layer...

    Wipeout isssues when plotting

    I remember this being a driver issue. We had a lot of problems with it previously. I am sorry, but all of my notes on this were lost on my last computer. Try changing/updating your print drivers, especially if it is working on a pdf, but not a printer.
