Refrigerant refining method
Note: Only use deionized water as the refrigerant in the chiller.
With an increase in the operation time of the chiller, some of the solution can mix in with the
refrigerant. Mixing the solution and the refrigerant lowers the refrigerating capacity. To prevent
this, refine the refrigerant periodically.
Refine the refrigerant according to the following procedure. The chiller must be operating to refine
refrigerant.
