SeasonalMaintenance

 Checkoperatingtemperatureandpressures.
 Theexternalsurfaceoffinnedcoilscanbecleanedusingalowpressurewatersprayandabrush.
Coilfinsareeasilydamaged.Donotusehighpressuresteamorwatertocleancoils;itwill
permanentlydamagethecoil.Whenusingcleaningadditivesorsolutionstheymustbecompatible
withthecoilmaterialsorcoatings.Useafincombtostraightenanydamagedorbentfins.
 Inspectrefrigerantlinesforevidenceofoilleaks.
 Checkcondenserfansandtightensetscrews.

NOTE:Airflowisrestrictedbydirtycoils,slippingfanbeltsetc.Thiswillreducecapacity.
PressureControls
Encapsulatedpressurecontrolshavefixedsettingsandarenotadjustable.Mostpressurecontrolshave
thesetpointmarkeddirectlyonthecontrol.Thefollowingtableshowstypicalcutinandcutoutsetpoint
usingsaturatedtemperature;refertorefrigerantspecificsaturatedtemperature/pressuretablesto
converttopressure.
