    I’ve been doing HVAC for 15 years and even I learned a few new things on this video…. Great content and keep up the great work
  • @dmitrym3757
    Hello from 2023! You run one of the best (or is it the best?) engineering YouTube channels. Especially, your EE series are a piece of art, can't tell you how useful those are to me! Thank you a lot!

  • @test1test219
    This is one of the most well thought out easy to digest, and incredibly visualized presentations I’ve ever seen. Great work!
  • @olivernesh1706
    After watching tons of videos and reading lots of mechanical engineering books and especially hvac systems, this was the neatest explanation that I have had during 6 years of experience in the industry.
  • @dongertan3320
    Thanks guys for uploading this video. You guys are better than my instructor.
  • @London_Native
    Great video! How about some maintenance video on for example, how to service a building pressurisation unit and expansion vessels? Or how to clean out a calorifier? Thanks!
  • @user-gc6bj4zx3p
    thanks for our time. finally, I understand the cooling tower. I did not find any vid that explains the cooling tower like this. thanks again and keep up the great work <3
  • Thank you so much for your sharing! Among all the videos this is the most simple&easiest to understand!
  • @rudyvargas3309
    Thanks man ever since I subscribed I have been learning so much I have a project on chillers thank u
  • @chankoksoon
    Drain for draining the system for preventive maintenance, float valve for make up water to maintain water level at the basin to prevent air pocketing.
  • Thank you Paul for the great explanation, as always. Can you please make one more video for Closed-circuit cooling towers, and how they're different from open cooling towers?
  • I used this video to learn English terminology (of cooling towers); perfect! Thank you!
  • Nicely explained with real pictures of each component. Also plz share a video on VAM.
  • @ryantavera8729
    makes alot of sense thank you so much for the information!
  • @chefjonsf
    So very informative. Thank you. 🙏🏽 I’ve been working around these things a couple years now and your videos make sense of it all. Stationary Engineers and Operators!
  • @zaraknadeem7726
    Just wanted to appreciate your efforts! your videos really helped me learn about and understand hvac systems thank you so much! (a civil engineer from pakistan)
