J'ai visité les gars dans le nouveau centre de veille à Mojacar ce matin. I was greeted by the lovely staff albeit a bit floppy due to the heat. One of their AC units non functional. The coastal atmosphere had taken its toll ,completely corroding away most of the fins of the condenser coil. After diagnosis it was found the compressor was not running, due to a heat damaged contactor. The staff begged "you must repair it today". The contactor needed replacing,but as a temporary measure I dismantled said device scraped,clean and reset it. I put it back in the system pressed the tit and the machine sprang into life,the fan went round , the compressor ran and the pipes started to go cool. Wow I thought I am going to be a here. This euphoria was short lived. I had only taken three steps down the ladder to retrieve the cover, when there was the loudest bang followed by the fullest pair of shorts on the playa. The fan had exploded and the flying shrapnel has punctured the already corroded tubes .Gas dust and bits of aluminium foil everywhere.
