Most technicians would prefer to do the least amount of work possible for the highest expected benefit. The good news is the whole free world operates like this. The problem is that the seemingly shortest path isn’t always the most effective path.
Need to clean your house? We can’t help you! But DigiVac is all about everything else vacuum. We pride ourselves on being an American manufacturing and design shop.
You are on a service call, its hot, your wife’s calling AGAIN and you are behind! You’ve got to figure this one out quickly. Are there moisture and contaminants are in the system? Is the pump functioning properly?
Beer and cryogenics…really? The story goes like this…how much vacuum is enough for either? It completely depends your application. Liposuction can work with 300 Torr (e.g., half atmospheric pressure) Diesel fuel lift pumps work somewhere between 1 and 20
You’re on your 3rd callback, in a cramped space, it’s hot, muggy and you are not getting paid nearly enough. Sound familiar? Working in the HVAC industry can suck at times. Over several years, our innovative vacuum scientists conducted an extensive study of HVAC professions. They concluded that callbacks and stress levels could be minimized with a few simple changes.
INTRODUCTION: Any time you try to do a job with inaccurate data, it will take longer and cost more. You know this deep down, but if your gauge is sub-par, maybe you’re just a bit attached to that ol’ hunk-o-metal you’ve been using. There are many industry discussion groups out there with posts from seasoned professionals in the vacuum industry which urge that technicians should not opt for cheap equipment, which often sacrifices accuracy in vacuum measurement. If the inaccuracies are great enough, a job will never get done properly. For this reason, it is important for professionals and technicians who
Here is the problem: You aren’t producing the vacuum you should, and you aren’t sure where to start troubleshooting. Often, the best place to start is the source of vacuum: your vacuum pump. If your vacuum pump isn’t able to produce a pressure much lower than the vacuum level at which your chamber needs to be, then look no further. If your process needs to run at 400 microns, and your vacuum pump can’t deliver well below 400 microns, then start there. Most 2-stage rotary pumps easily pump below 50 microns if they are working well. Fortunately, testing your pump
Without pressure, it becomes sensor specific. For example, we could read some resistances across the pins of the gauge and compensate for at least some differences from the ideal tube. We have talked about this at length amongst ourselves and with customers.
INTRODUCTION: When troubleshooting an HVAC system, finding leaks and moisture can sometimes take longer than fixing them, especially if the initial diagnosis is wrong and repeat trips to the customer are needed. Follow these steps to get fast, reliable answers from the analytics in your vacuum gauge. You can also watch a video of these steps in action, in the field, from a 30-year veteran who says this new process makes his life a whole lot easier! And we didn’t pay him to say that, honestly…..
