On the way back, we stopped at one of the restaurants to deal with the hot-cold food warmer. It turned out to be another motor issue. Fortunately, we had plenty of motors with us in the truck. We quickly replaced it with two people working together and headed home.

The inscription on the new stove, in big letters: Attention, if you turn on this stove, the warranty will be void! (In smaller letters, it says that only specially trained people should turn it on, but still…)

Ventilation system for a network restaurant. The restaurant chain is so large that the name of the manufacturer of the ventilation system coincides with the name of the restaurant chain. It was specially designed for them. The task was simple — to create three-phase cables with plugs for the two Continue Reading

Daikin is a good company. They take care of us. On the air conditioner remote, a special signal message may appear — saying it’s time to clean the filter. And people, you know, call a technician to clean it. But there are two nuances. 1. After cleaning the filters, the Continue Reading

Clinical testing laboratory. Main freezer. Biomaterials, preparations, reagents. Minus 20. An Alaska jacket as props. We’re looking for a leak. We only found oil, but the leak is somewhere outside the freezer. But I had to leave, so I left my partner there alone. Actually, he was the one who Continue Reading
