Summer Checklist for your Water Chiller
After colder winter months, the warmer summer months are approaching and we recommend you give your chiller a good clean and inspection to ensure the equipment is operating efficiently and production can continue to run smoothly.
- IMPORTANT - Turn the equipment off and isolate electrically before taking the following steps.
- CLEAR AWAY ANY DIRT AND DEBRIS from the surrounding area. Any dust, dirt and leaves can get inside the enclosure and block the airflow.
- CLEAN THE PANELS - giving each panel and the chiller frame a good wipe down to get rid of dust, dirt or mould can reduce corrosion of the metal work. Repair/treat where appropriate to prolong its life.
- CLEAN THE COILS – gently clean the coils with appropriate cleaning chemicals and a suitable soft brush taking care not to bend the fins. Note: using a pressure washer may cause damage to the fins. A clean condenser will ensure the unit is operating efficiently and drawing the least amount of energy.
- CLEAN THE FILTERS – any intake filters should be removed, inspected, cleaned and if required replaced regularly, especially if in an oily or dusty environment.
- INSPECT FOR LEAKS – examine the pipes and the pump and repair any water leaks if found. Should you suspect a refrigerant leak, this must be reported immediately and repaired by a qualified F-Gas technician.
- REGULAR SERVICING & MAINTENANCE – it is important that your water chiller is regularly maintained and a service is carried out at least once or twice per year by a professional, qualified technician. Regular maintenance will ensure the equipment is operating efficiently keeping energy consumption and operating costs to a minimum.
It is the law that equipment using ozone-depleting refrigerants such as R407C, R410a, R134A etc. with a charge equivalent to 5 tonnes CO2 or more must be checked annually for leaks by a qualified person.
