Dynatherm and Carlin Seminar set for October Meeting


Directions to Dynatherm:
Take Route 309 South through Coopersburg. Go approx. 1mile past Coopersburg and make a left hand turn at CK garden center onto Cherry Rd. Go across RR tracks and Dynatherm is on the left. Address is 43 E. Cherry Rd. Quakertown. Phone: 215-536-4078.


Our October meeting will be held of Thursday Oct. 25 from 6-8PM at the Dynatherm Boiler headquarters right outside of Coopersburg.

Once again, this is an opportunity that you won't want to miss.! This boiler has been made in the Lehigh Valley area for over 100 yrs. If my memory serves me right, it was originally designed as a ship's boiler and was eventually converted into residential and commercial use.


I used to have one in my house. I can remember that it was over six feet long and that I bent a refrigerator truck in half when I removed it from the basement. The newer ones are a lot smaller and a lot more efficient.

The Carlin seminar is always outstanding. You will come away from the meeting with a lot of useful information as well as good literature.

A gentleman who is new to the area contacted me right after our last meeting and in interested in joining our chapter. I told him we could ride down together for the meeting as he is not familiar with the area. If any one else is reluctant to go because of the distance or location all I can say is that it's very easy to find and only about 20 min. south of Bethlehem. Well worth the trip.
Hope to see a good turnout for this fun and informative meeting.

September Meeting



Well to start off the year like we did was very encouraging. The accommodations at the ABC training center are ideal for our purpose and the topic and attendance at the meeting were great.




Many thanks to Mr. Lou Abruzzese(pictured on right) from Sporlan for taking the time to give us an excellent presentation on TEV valves. With SEER 13 at full tilt theTEV becomes critical to the efficiency of the system. Without a good understanding of the purpose, operation and troubleshooting of this important component the technician is at a serious disadvantage. Spending a couple of hours listening to an expert like Mr. Abruzzese can save you many hours of aggravation and embarrassment.




Any feedback out there? Let us know what you think.
