CHILLING ON THE CHEAP
“Came across this on a farm in south-east Queensland while working on another coldroom onsite,” says Phil, who sent us this snap. “I guess if the fans need changing out I’ll just buy replacements at Kmart!” ■
CAMOUFLAGED CONDENSER
Last issue’s winner Mick came oh so close to doing the double with this pic of an amazing mural. “Spotted this on my travels,” he says. “Took a minute but yes there is a condenser unit on the wall.” ■ 3

CENTRIFUGAL DUCTWORK
Maybe the person who installed this ductwork is dreaming of a career change to baking cinnamon rolls. Or maybe they just couldn’t be bothered cutting it to size. Greg from Perth snapped the photo, and says it’s since been rectified. ■ SACRÉ BLEU!
You know you work in HVAC&R when you start snapping photos of air conditioning units on your trip to France. Thanks to Richard in WA for this one – two condensing units under a window in Paris, with the protection louvres smashed by a car. ■
HOLD THE FOAM
Warren from Melbourne also indulged in a bit of HVAC&R sightseeing overseas. “I saw this unit working while walking down a street in Boston,” he says. “They sure have a different way of installation in the US! How long it will work for is anybody’s guess.” ■
