Asain cooking cooking is, for the most part, vegatables cooked at a VERY high heat causing a vegatable oil. As described by "cgibbson" in his thread, it is carried up with the steam that is also produced, into the exhaust duct. Once cooled it solidify's becoming a very sticky-like liquid, somthing like a consistency between honey and molasses. Once set for some time it becomes extreamely adhesive. Futher lenght of time it becomes dry and hard, similar to tar.
I hope this answers your question.

You guys are real gentlemen for answering my questions. ....And the Naoh has proven to be quite effective at neutralizing heartburn
.....So it turns to "tar", ......do you guys frequently come upon these jobs where it is impossible to clean?? Or is it just tougher/more $$$?? From my experience in my field, most foreigners like to negotiate.....I bet it would be a real treat watching the negotiations on these sales!
...The two California guys that always have video clips, etc.,....you guys should record/tape some of these sales presentations. I cannot imagine how enlightening/entertaining it would be!

Jon We can handle just about anything you can throw at us.
With the exception of carbonized build up,thats a bugger.
Corbonized build up is like chiseling in the coalmine.

You are correct about negotiations. It is not pleasant, and is one reason we will not solicit Asian. We did one recently and they wanted to negotiate down the invoice AFTER we had completed the job! This is in their culture (both Asian and Middle Eastern) and I understand it (I've experienced both cultures) but it is not the way we do business here. It is frustrating, therefore we avoid this segment of the market as much as possible.

I like to but my .02 cents in. Several years ago I owned Spring-Green Lawn Care and we serviced over 2000 customers. I learned that when you deal with ASIANS & MIDDLE EASTERN, you raise the price and let them negotiate you down to the price everyone pays.
It works!
It works!

OK, now that you circled the horzontal link I can see it. The lower link is for the Ansul suppression system. The 2 upper links are for the fire damper. I do not understand the purpose of 2 links on the damper door. In fact, I do not understand the need for the fire damper. In the fire service we were taught to ventilate the fire (cut a hole in the roof) to allow the gases and heat out of the building. And that works. Now some exhaust systems have a door installed to keep the heat and gases in the building. Can someone explain the theory to me?

I was taught the dampers were for keeping the fire out of the ducts or to eliminate the fire from the duct...removing one of the members of the triangle. I think the problem was the burning grease in the hood escaped out of the canopy to the ceiling areas if it wasn't traveling through the ductwork.

Nothing is impossible.......
One day I will video a "negotiation". You will laugh.
One time I bid this Chinese restaurant and handed it to the daughter of the owner. She spoke perfect english (very pretty and totaly "American")- her father did not. She read the bid and then basically shouted the translated version to her dad in the back. There was a little bit of back and forth between the two (you all know how they sound) and then the father appeared from the back, walked through the doorway and stopped and just made a hand movement.....a gesture that anyone would understand. He held his hands straight out and moved it horizontally while shaking his head (kinda like an umpire calling a runner "safe").
Before she could say anything I laughed and told her that I did not speak Chinese but understood her father perfectly! We both had a good laugh.

I went to the Risk Logic site. Nice looking stuff.
Errors on FX
called Class K fx a Class E
said 2.5 # fx met NFPA specs, does not
Said Pressure test interval was 5 years, for mild steel shell Pressure test interval is 12 years
Errors on Sprinklers
Said to use threaded fittings in freezers because threaded fittings were easier to dissassemble than Grooved fittings
That is when I quit looking. With errors like that, they have no credibility w/me
Interesting site though
