What to do if EVAPCO Accessories fan motors are overamping?
- M
  matthew10Aug 18, 2025
  If EVAPCO Accessories fan motors are overamping, several factors could be responsible. It could be due to a reduction in air static pressure. For a forced draft unit, make sure the pump is on and water is flowing over the coil. If the pump is off, and the unit wasn't designed for dry operation, the motor might over-amp. Also, check the voltage across all three legs of the motor for any electrical issues. Verify the fan rotates correctly, and if not, switch the leads. Ensure the fan and motor turn freely by hand, checking for internal damage or bearing issues. Finally, check for proper belt tension, as extreme tension can cause overamping.

Why is my EVAPCO Accessories motor making unusual noise?
- A
  annfosterAug 20, 2025
  Unusual motor noise in EVAPCO Accessories can stem from various issues. The motor might be running single-phase; if you stop and try to restart it, it won't start again. Check the wiring, controls, and the motor itself. Incorrectly connected motor leads could also be the culprit, so verify the connections against the wiring diagram on the motor. Bad bearings are another potential cause; check the lubrication and replace the bearings if necessary. An electrical unbalance, where voltage and current are uneven across the three lines, can also lead to unusual noise, so check and correct if needed. Also, inspect for a non-uniform air gap and rotor unbalance and correct bracket fits or bearing, rebalance, reinstall or replace the fan if required.

How to fix an incomplete spray pattern in EVAPCO Accessories?
- K
  kpageAug 22, 2025
  An incomplete spray pattern in EVAPCO Accessories could be due to several reasons. The nozzles might be clogged, in which case you should remove and clean them, and flush the water distribution system. Another possibility is that the pump is running backwards; visually verify the pump rotor rotation by turning the pump off and then on, and verify the amp draw. Inadequate pump flow for a remote sump could also be the issue; confirm the inlet pressure at the header meets recommended valves and adjust the cylinder to provide blade tip clearance. Finally, check for a clogged strainer by removing and cleaning it.

What to do if the EVAPCO Cooling boxes makeup valve will not shut off?
- B
  Bailey BrownAug 26, 2025
  If the makeup valve on your EVAPCO Cooling boxes won't shut off, there are several potential causes. First, the make-up water pressure might be too high; for mechanical valves, it needs to be between 20 and 50 psi. A pressure reducing valve can lower excessive pressure. For electronic water level controls, the electrical actuator requires 5 to 125 psi. Other causes include debris in the solenoid (clean it out), a frozen float ball (inspect and replace if needed), or a float ball full of water (check for leaks and replace).

Why are the EVAPCO Cooling boxes pump motors overamping?
- K
  Kimberly BowenAug 27, 2025
  If your EVAPCO Cooling boxes pump motor is overamping, especially if the unit has only run for a few hours, it might be due to the pump wear ring needing to wear in. This should only cause small percentage increases. If the issue persists, verify the pump can turn freely by hand; if not, it likely needs replacement. Also, ensure the pump has been wired correctly and that the supply voltage is accurate. Note that changes in pump flow due to clogged or blown nozzles should not cause overamping.

What to do if the EVAPCO Cooling boxes cold water basin is overflowing?
- T
  Tyler HensonAug 30, 2025
  If the cold water basin of your EVAPCO Cooling boxes is overflowing, it could be due to a problem with the make-up line. Refer to the Makeup Valve or Electronic Water Level section for troubleshooting. If it's a multi-cell unit, ensure all cells are installed level with each other, as uneven installation can cause overflowing in one cell.

How to clean scaled inlet louvers on EVAPCO Cooling boxes AT units?
- S
  scott00Sep 1, 2025
  To clean scaled inlet louvers on EVAPCO Cooling boxes AT units, avoid using a power washer or wire brush as they can damage the louvers. Instead, remove the louver assemblies and soak them in the cold water basin of the unit. The water treatment chemicals present will help neutralize and dissolve the scale buildup. The soaking time depends on the severity of the scaling, assuming chemicals are in use.

Why is water constantly blowing out of the EVAPCO Cooling boxes overflow connection?
- W
  william67Sep 4, 2025
  Water blowing out of the overflow connection in EVAPCO Cooling boxes, particularly in forced draft units, can be due to positive pressure in the casing section. To resolve this, pipe the overflow with a P-trap to an appropriate drain. Also, verify the actual operating level against the recommended levels in the O&M manual to ensure the overflow connection has been properly piped.

Why is the stainless steel rusting on my EVAPCO Cooling boxes?
- N
  noahwoodSep 6, 2025
  Rust spots on the surface of your EVAPCO Cooling boxes typically aren't signs of the stainless steel corroding. Often, they result from foreign material like welding slag collecting on the surface. These spots can be removed with a good cleaning. EVAPCO recommends using either Naval Jelly or a good stainless steel cleaner, such as Mother’s Wax, along with a Scotch-Brite pad. Regular maintenance of the unit’s surface is advised.

Why is the fluid cooler insulation cracking on my EVAPCO Cooling boxes?
- K
  Kimberly CrawfordSep 9, 2025
  Most of the time, what appears to be cracking insulation on EVAPCO Cooling boxes is actually cracking paint. If the paint is degrading, it should be touched up to maintain the finish on the insulation. Maintaining the finish of the insulation paint should be part of your standard maintenance. If the insulation itself is cracking, consult your local Evapco representative.
