I played helper for perfcthair4ever at the lab today - Plumbing Zone

I went over to Orlando today to tag along with my little bro on a high purity steam generator install in a research facility.

Protech · 02-06-2010, 08:41 PM

Running some Harvel lxt high purity PVC.

The steam generator takes the existing "dirty steam" and uses the heat with a shell and tube heat exchanger to convert the high purity water into high purity steam for lab sterilizers.

After we got done with the steam generator I watched Sam do some maintenance on one of the 150HP steam boilers in the penthouse. I know nothing about steam systems so it was fun bugging the crap out of him while he was trying to work. I also took a pic of some of the natural gas condensing Lochinvar boilers.

Man thats really cool

But

Where's the gerbil's

They inject them with HIV and test vaccines in the basment and then do tests and autopsys on them. That's why there is a need for a sterilizer for the surgical tools.......

I tell ya what though, I've been there early in the morning and that place gives me the heebee jeebees. I'm waiting for a zombie attack every time I'm there. It's got these glass rooms with key card readers everywhere with robots and stuff. Reminds me of that resident evil movie. The rooms have motion sensors that turn the lights on and off as you go from room to room. Allot of the doors are automatic and make that "shhhhh" sound like in the video games too. Freaky

It looks like the work environment is a helluva lot cleaner than crawling under a tin house on wheels...

I had a buddy that worked with that purple pipe here and there. He made "other" things with the scrap pieces. That was before i met Mrs. Rockstarplumber. See that guy from time to time, what a loser.
