Field notes
Things found in mechanical rooms, and what they cost while nobody was looking.
Every piece uses the same four parts: what the thing is, the problem, what we have seen, and what to do about it.
Running Fine
Equipment that reports healthy and is not.
No. 14
Turning the temperature down to dry the room
Relative humidity moves when temperature moves, even when nothing has been dried.
The money side
How plants get paid for, and who is holding the meter. First pieces in draft.
The four parts
Topic · the problem · what we have seen · the recommendation
Running Fine
Grease, suction head, over-pumping, erosion, deadheading, layup — the failures that never trip an alarm.
The money side
Operations and the utility budget belong on one scorecard: reliability, comfort, equipment life and energy.
