Please Help Me Identify This Equipment

[karlb]

Howdy. We own a warehouse that had a brewing company inside. They left a few pieces of equipment they didn't want which we put in a different warehouse. I told my dad I would try and find out what these three items are as I have no clue. Any help is appreciated.

That looks like a heater for the warehouse. York makes HVAC equipment.

It is not brewing related.

Have we ruled out time machine?

Looks like an old water heater to me

Cool. Many thanks. I saw the two filters in there but wasn't sure. Here's the other equipment. I have no clue what the first thing is (the beat up box). It seems to have a fan in there.

I'm not sure of the purpose of the Hydrothrift (I know they make dryers/evaporators).

The last photo is a Fulton Boiler.

I agree. AC equipment. That motor might work with a grain mill tho... jus' sayin'

It's an air handler. Motor drives the squirrelcage fan. Pipes carried heating fluid, likely hot water from a boiler. Not sure, in FL those pipes would be insulated copper and carry refrigerant.

That Hydrothhrift looks like an air-cooled chiller to me, perhaps for their glycol system. You can see the scroll compressors on the bottom of the photo.

That first photo, beats me. I think I see a fan mounted on the other side, so my guess would be a unit heater.

Looking back at the York unit, looks like a fan coil unit, for cooling the space. The bottom water connection has a label and it looks like it says "Cold Water".

An industrial space like this would be typically heated/cooled with unit heaters and fan coil units, so those make sense.

I believe he Fulton is a steam boiler, judging form the water column hanging off the left side in the photo.

It's definitely a heat exchanger. Jeremy W is probably right about the glycol system application. The air filter simply keeps the coils from clogging up due to dust in the air.
