SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The Chiller Systems Group (CSG) is a network of independent contractors who service and repair large-tonnage chillers. The group was formed in 1994 and has met semi-annually since that time. Their latest and best-attended meeting was held here this past March, hosted by Metro Mechanical Inc., Phoenix. Members spent their time discussing weighty issues in the industry, as well as sharing information with one another.
Many companies, such as Benshaw Inc., Turbocor Inc., RPC Co., Kordyne International, and Enecon, presented the group with their latest technologies. One manufacturer discussed a program that would give CSG special training courses and a direct technical support line for all the company's air conditioning and retrofit products. In return, CSG would make a commitment to support their products and specify their equipment whenever possible. A separate session was held to cover the complicated area of controls.
