    How Good Is Your Knowledge of these

    We did a hospitals chillers this week and had a competition on who could guess
    The weight of the copper inside the chillers barrels, these barrels are from
    175 Ton Air Cooled Chillers having done these before I had a good idea on the copper weight,
    Let's see how close you can get to the total copper weight from these two chiller barrels,
    It's good knowledge to have for old timers and also the newbies. Good luck I will put the answer up

    Those look to be accumulators from a York chiller, correct?

    Yes they were York chillers

    The winner gets to know he or she is very good at bidding a job like that in the future,
    just for the record I payed $1,000.00
    Each for these. And made a good pay day out of them

    The accumulators were sold to me by them selfs, the freon runs thru the coils and piping of the system not this part of the system.
    We just cut the unit open with a plasma torch like a can of tuna, and then cut the copper lines into foot long lengths let them cool of and pull the copper out.
