Were cellars ever used to keep foods that are ideally eaten chilly like chocolates and cold cuts cool before electricity?

One of the unintentional side effects of building cellars underground was that wines and beers often became cold relative to the outside temperature and in turn people prefer to keep alcoholic beverages in cellars because of this. So they acted as primitive semi-refrigerators.

I do ask though were foods meant to be eaten as cool such as deserts like chocolate and cold cuts ever kept in cellar in primitive times to keep them in an ideal state? I mean even with the lack of refrigerators I'd assume they'd already discover recipes where say certain methods of cooking sausages that were tastier chilled as the result of the existence of cellars since the time of ancient Rome or even earlier?

Scotsman Ice machine, slow water fill

Wondering if I'm in the right direction, Ice machine has intermittent slow water fill, code 3, has tripped machine twice From 65psi, water only drops like 5psi when inlet valve opens, water has so many bubbles in it that it looks dirty until about 2m water clears up I changed the inlet valve but it hasn't fixed the issue Also line going from filters into machine is about 15ft long, all coiled up Ran it through about 5 cycles but ice was being made just fine, was also thinking it could be the dump valve staying open at time but it seems to be working fine, I'm stumped any help would be greatly appreciated submitted by /u/chrizeagle [link] [comments]

Question about which refrigerante to use, please :(

Hey there!, I have a Copeland hermetic compressor but the label doesn't indicate anywhere the refrigerant I should use. I've seen in some places that it's R22, but I'd like to be 100% sure. Does anyone know? Please, I don't know what to do u.u submitted by /u/Curious_Formal458 [link] [comments]

Is my rack overcharged?

I was at a Costco today pulling some coils for a remodel. After we dropped them, we had some time to kill, and spent it playing with the micro thermo.

One thing that stood out, was a 68% receiver level. Looking through the logs, it was 67% before we pumped down 3 25k btu coils. Was hitting 98% during defrost, cold gas.

Split rack with more medium temp load than low temp.

68 degree ambient, and the condenser wasn't in split and heat reclaim active.

Doesn't this seem kinda high?

Rs44b vs M099 replace R22 w/o oil change

Intending to vac and recharge older unit for low income customer.

Been searching and found these 2 are miscible with the existing mineral oil.

Opinions on either? Thanks

Is hvacpartsshop.com trustable?

I am working on getting a quote to replace plenty of condenser coils on big HVAC units and this webpage has them all at good pricing. Is it trustable? Please share your experiences buying from them, I will spend a lot of money and would like to avoid been scammed.

Thanks

Strange circuit wiring

I had two 4 door cases frozen up, each with their own set of 20A fuses for defrost. Each case had a blow fuse in the L2 block. While going through the wiring I wanted to check the load side of a disconnect, and when killing breakers I found breaker #1 feeding L1 on each case, and breaker #2 feeding L2 on each case. Just for clarities sake, L1 splits prior to the defrost fuses and feeds the case controller (lights, fans) and each case has its own neutral. While I'm struggling to see how this could cause and sort of blown fuse in and of itself, I'm also not much one for coincidences. system has been wired this way for approximately 11 months. Any thoughts appreciated.
