Go HEAT

[FB7777]

Did a monthly restaurant with a borrowed unit from a buddy cause I needed the extra unit and he was helping my company with other projects

It's a propane unit that gets crazy hot ( sorry no heat numbers, just know it was hotter than my high heat Butlers)

WOW! Oxley, Les and all you other propane guys are right, propane rocks


Fricken carpet cleaned up easier with one pass than ever before

 

[vincent]

Good for you FRED...!

I loved my Butlers...

But when I went to slide- in's...The difference in the HEAT was scary... hey now
It is amazing how much the extra HEAT really matters... :!: Even though we don't
use propane. Just 30 to 40 degrees more is HUGE in the equation...

 

[Mike Draper]

I can pull 250 deg. ATW in the winter on a 12 flow wand. I'll never go back to "good enough".

wellllll hello.....we been trying to tell ya hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now

 

[tmdry]

After using a 360k btu heater, being capable of 250 ATW up to 4000 psi, I could never go back to "it's good enough".

 

[Doug Cox]

The lowest I get in the middle of winter is 210 ATM. This time of year the wand is spitting (240+ ATM).

Welcome to the party....










































Phucktard!


































































































































Want to get REALLY SURPISED...buy a VORTEX... Seriously!

I can easily go up to the 260-300s with the diesel burner.

What I noticed is that when I accidently set my machine to those temps its just a hiss and pop at the wand and lose all the flushing energy of the water.

It cleans better (flushes) if its just below the hiss n pop temps.

I run 10 or 20 flow. Depending on the jets I put in for certain jobs.

I ran one of Duane's units for 8 yrs I miss the heat but not the burns on arms and legs from the solution lines. I have a CDS w/salsa ow bit it ain't nowhere close on heat.

 

[Doug Cox]

Damn, Eckman- You're getting a little bitchy. lol

 

[sam miller]

I had propane and diesel very hot seam splitting in some case's. The heat to remove a few minor proplems such as gum and grease when a citrus spotter will do the same thing.

I prefer my 405 and the vacuum still with plenty of heat. Just not Tattoo your arm with a brass fitting hot.

If Your a restuarant cleaner with a lot of oil then ya but I'm 99 residential. So no need.

Yep.

And it's good to have "overkill" in the wintertime.

 

[Vivers]

Running 250-260 ATM with heat exchange on both Prochem Apex units. Heat exchangers. Only time I would like the propane or oil fired is on T & G of course cause temps drop then with the constant flow. Otherwise popping sometimes here also.

 

[tmdry]

If you use the Lifejackets you don't need to worry about burns anywhere on your body.

 

[sam miller]

So the life jacket covers the metal parts on the wands???

Use a safety blue female for your solution line... LIKE! Or just man up... eat yor heart out Werner

 

[ruff]

That's it.

One more, and who knew that from all people it would be Fred I've seen Jimmy naked

Has gone to the dark side.

The burns came from the hose not the QD's. That unit got really HOT!!

And just imagine how nice it would be to know your cold water is only heating when you trigger the wand. You don't have to worry about your machine sitting on 240 and the phone rings or Ms Piff asks a question. And better heat in the winter.

 

[FB7777]

Vince,

I use Powerstrike from Prochem boosted with citrus to offset the strong scent


Ofer,

No dark side for me, while I did notice an ease in cleaning this particular account, I would never switch to propane, don't want the hassle and don't feel the need for that kind of heat often enough, besides I can substitute chemical or mechanical agitation to make up for the lower heat

Plus I don't want the burn risk for me and employees.


It was just an honest first hand observation, I can now see what the high heat guys are talking about


In the future, at this restaurant , I will either fill up with hot water at home before the job or use their hot water on site which should give me comparable heat if the incoming on board water is 120+ degrees

4 flow?

 

[ACE]

4 flow?

 

[Doug Cox]

I kinda like my Pre Heater, double liquid exchanger and exhaust exchanger, and I don't have to fill a tank. Now that I have this beast running correctly, she rocks at 240+ all the time. Yeah Fred, the high heat is freakin awesome. I don't think I could go back to a CDS.

 

[sam miller]

Its not like I dont know the difference but when a hose pops and it will 175 atw hitting air and cooling is a lot better then 240 burning the crap out of someone.

As for keying the wand and firing the heat when a hose pops your fully keyed.

PS I love Zombieland.

The lifejackets go over your hose not the QD's, you can cut it in any length to cover the hoses, my diesel heater is suppose to get hot, that's why I purchased it.

 

[dealtimeman]

I like a constant 200-210 atw at high flow and high psi.

Where do you buy these life jackets?

I stand corrected I thought you were talking about the ones for the QD. The Life Jackets weren't around when I had that unit or I would have got one for my lead hose.
