Thanks! Nothing like getting flamed right out of the gate. Whatever I did to insult your intelligence, I'm genuinely sorry. I'm genuinely that my posts were interpreted as cocky, arrogant, etc. The info I have to share benefits everybody else other than me. I already know about eddy current so I don't need to hear my self explain it.

I'm really sorry that my post count doesn't meet your standards yet either. I'm not sure what I really said as I never mentioned participating in the numerous threads about eddy current. And yes, do a search on eddy current and you can quickly get sucked into it.

Humility? 90% of what I have read on this site about Eddy Current is very wrong. I offered to write up information for the site to educate everyone. If anyone wants to check my credentials to see that I am legitimate, go to: http://asnt.org/certification/cert/certdetail.cfm?id=148921 and you will see that I hold a national Level III certificate. I will bet you that your vendor doesnt have that. If he say he does, look it up on this site. This is only one of numerous certifications that I hold. So perhaps I am not humble, but I sure as hell know what I am talking about in regards to Eddy Current and doing it on chillers.

Do you welcome everyone to the site this way? I am really baffled at your reactions towards me.....
We have the perfect opportunity for a "teaching moment" at this time.

To show you in graphic manner how self-righteous you are, exactly what is it or how much is it that you want to bet that my vendor doesn't hold a national Level III certification? (Don't bet something that you can't afford to lose.) Since you have no earthly idea who you're talking to, how do you know that I don't hold one? Only two things could even possibly come into play to make you say this - either you're the only person in the whole world who has one, or you are the most arrogant ECT technician that has ever graced this site with his/her presence. So which is it?

The several eddy current companys I've delt with in my state, are all LEVEL III analysts. The thought to look up their certs never crossed my mind. The companys : reputation, customer service, quality of work, & longevity speak for them... not just being a level III analyst.
 
I am beginning to think that you are a little paranoid.

To begin with we do not have time to look into ever job that our parts houses get a serial# on from some one requesting or buying parts.

I assume that you also know that we already know where every peice of Trane Equipt. is in the state. Since after all we did sell it.

I also think that you should be careful questioning the ethics of the local office unless you know for a fact to be true.

If you do (know it to be true) and have a complaint you should start with your NSS and work your way up to Corp. at Trane.

Of course if you don't buy Trane Equipt. your position may not be as strong.
I wish I could say that this is the first mention I have heard of a manufacturer store going after a deal after a contractor informed them of the need so he could receive a quote.

Naw, no reason to question the ethics of that......

My response would be the same to you as it was to "oldhatsales".

I assume that you read it, I will reiterate... if you have this problem you should start with the NSS and work your way up.

We (the factory offices) are reminded and cautioned regularly on anti trust laws.

I still beleive that what you are alleging for the most part falls under the catagory of old wives tales.

I could be wrong but I would need to see proof to be convinced.
 
Let me start over here. I'm not bashing anyone, their vendors, or any of that. I'm not here to promote my services or any of that either. I'm honestly not sure how my posts got interpreted into something caused everyone to lash out. Whatever I said to set everyone off, I'm genuinely sorry and it was not my intentions. If any of you met me in real-life you would certainly understand that I don't walk around poking my chest out like some di**head (well, the golf course doesn't count..hehehe).

The ratio of level III's in this industry that are nationally certified or in-house certified is very high. I started in this industry working for a company that had numerous level III's. At the time, I didn't realize that they were appointing themselves as such. Since then, I have found a very large percentage of the companies in our industry doing this. All I want to do is give everyone here some information in regards to the certifications (and other things as well).

There are some very good ET companies out there, perhaps you guys are using them. There are some very bad ones as well, hopefully you are not using them. Some of these companies look like gems form the outside, but on the inside you would find that their "certified analysts" was just working at 7-11 last week with no clue what Eddy Current was. Or they are using probes/testers that aren't designed to find the damage mechanisms that can often be found in chiller tubing (i.e. circumferential cracking).

I have invited several colleagues that work for other companies to join the site and offer their input as well. Hopefully this will provide validity behind my claims that my intentions here are not about self-promotion, advertising, etc.

Anyway, I started writing up a good overview of industry processes. I hope to have this posted early in the week.
:ghug:
You're not bashing anyone, yet you say that 90% of what you read here concerning ECT is wrong, as if you're the only one around who knows their butt from third base about the subject............

No one said you were self-promoting, I said that you are self-righteous. Stop telling folks how much you know, and post some worthwhile info. It doesn't take a week to formulate a thought for someone that knows what they're talking about. Spit it out!!!

I don't need to hear myself explain that which I know already, either. But I've learned an immense amount since becoming a member of this site, simply because I do what most everyone else here does - I try to learn from the conversations, and offer what I can when what I have is worth offering. Most folks don't start by telling everyone that they're going to enlighten us with their vast expertise of a subject - they just offer what they can and let everyone else decide whether or not they know what they're talking about. Starting the way you did doesn't work with a first year apprentice, much less the 30 to 50 year crowd.

There was another guy from the sunshine state that hung around here when I first joined, and he had much the same attitude as you portray. Got hammered pretty hard and hasn't been heard from in a year or so. Go back and read your posts from our viewpoint and see what you think it sounds like. Then, if you'd like to start over, WELCOME!! But if you truly can't see why folks reacted to what you said in the manner they reacted, then you need to brace yourself for a lot of this. JMHO
 
First, here is my first post on the subject. After reading it I am sure you will at least agree that the information I am willing to offer does require more than a quick post that everyone was waiting for? http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?p=5594032#post5594032

The next post will about the technical capabilities or eddy current theory. Depends on my mood when I get the chance to sit down and write it up. ;)

The wrong information is clearly just guys not being correctly informed. I am not trying to find fault with anyone on here. I do however find fault with the handful of companies out there that mis-educate or misguide their clients. I want you guys to know everything about our industry. That benefits me because it will weed out the knuckleheads that don't know what they are doing and ultimately costs everyone a lot of money (ironically, they are the ones that offer the crazy low rates to do the inspections.)

Again, I apologize for the attitude. If there really was any there it was certainly not to be directed to you guys. I take a lot of pride in my work as I am sure most everyone else on this site does. If you found some forum where a tech was sharing wrong information to the world about how to service a CVHE chiller would you not jump in? Wouldn't you jump in quicker if you found that the tech got all his info from an unlicensed, untrained, "tech" from somewhere else? I'm sure most all of you guys would since it's your livelihood to do a good job and be the best at what you do...

Now, klove I'm Chris...it's good to meet you.
Your post are the biggest bunch of double talk that I have read in quite a while.

Is your company aware that you are soiling their reputation on a national level(that is if they had one to start with)? A few days ago I had never heard of Tricen, but I sure will remember the name now, and who uses their company name as thier screen name...unless you own the company I guess?

I also assume that you realize that half of the guys in the chiller group here either work or have worked for one of the big three chiller Manufacturers. Hence I beleive that is safe to say we know a little about a peice of copper tubing that is inserted into our machines.

The only part of your post that I would be interested in is to see if your co-workers have the same attitude that you do.

After repeated replies on your part. IMHO... "I don't beleive you can help yourself " (hope that you are familiar with that concept).

It's very clear that no matter what I say you are going to have some negative comment for it. If all you have left is to now degrade my choice of screen name then it looks like you don't have much left to go on. Perhaps it is time for you to go badger another new user. I'm sure he would appreciate the holier than thou attitude.

BTW, I just re-read my previous posts and I still can't find where I insulted, or attacked you or anyone else...

Obviously you still don't get it.

I would still like to hear from one of your co-workers.

How hard can it be to reference some material on Eddy Current, put up a PDF or something?

Would you like me to do it for you?

I do agree that you have dug yourself in so deep that I am not interested in anything that you may know or have to say at this point. But by all means continue it is very entertaining.
 
Did you not click on the link from the other thread I started? I already posted information: http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread....32#post5594032
Why yes I did.... That is the post that I was reffering to as usless double talk.

We have already established that our people also have certification.

Matter of fact we have three techs. in our office with that certification, not to mention two in the vibration dept. with level 3 for vibration analysis.

I ask again how hard is it to link to, reference, or post a PDF on the technical aspects of Eddy Current, which is what you promised to shed some light on in your initial post.

Like you I guess that I am not quite in the "mood" yet to go back and pull out all of your quotes.

Please let us hear from your co-workers as you eluded. ( Personally I really beleive that it will be a miracle if you could "suck" them into this although)
 
this thread reminds me...we need some "flame" and "fire" smileys!!
