High Pressure Valves Diagnosing ICMTS ICAD 600A And 600d B Episode 532 Audio
<p>High Pressure Valves Diagnosing ICMTS ICAD 600A And 600d B Episode 532 ICAD 600A vs 600B Deep Dive: Calibration Alarms, O-Ring Chaos, and CO₂ Rack Relief Valve Nightmares. </p><p>In this episode of the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast, hosts Brett Wetzel and Kevin Compass swap war stories from the field, including a CO₂ startup derailed by the manufacturer installing low-temp reliefs everywhere, causing charging chaos and a panicked GC threatening to call the fire department. They then dive into Danfoss ICM/ICAD troubleshooting—breaking down ICMTSC B vs C differences, how magnets help verify valve position, and how debris, missing strain...

Danfoss Communication Issues And A West Virginia Baby Momma Episode 531
<p>Danfoss Communication Issues And A West Virginia Baby Momma Episode 531CO₂ Store Startup Chaos: Danfoss Comms Troubleshooting, 880 Ethernet Headaches & Miswired TransducersIn this comedic episode of the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast, hosts Brett Wetzel and Kevin Compass jump from off-the-rails banter into the real pain of starting up a major Chicago retailer’s first CO₂ store packed with Danfoss case controllers and mixed equipment. They swap war stories about botched case wiring, backward check valves, and why scanning huge Modbus networks can be painfully slow even with limits set. Kevin shares a faster comm-troubleshooting method using resistors to quickly spot crossed loops...
