Cleaning work must be done a lot of scale is found. Physical and chemical cleaning can be chosen
according to the device you have. Generally, chemical cleaning is much easier to carry out. Methods are
as below. Arrange for a qualified water treatment specialist to develop and monitor a treatment program.
a) Cycle under normal temp. (A):
(Volume of condenser+ volume of pipes+ volume of container)×1/3
Note: concentration of detergent ——33%
b) Cycle under normal temp. (B):
(Volume of cooling tower flume + volume of condenser+ volume of pipes)×1/10
Note: concentration of detergent ——10%
Warning: When you do cleaning while the unit stops, the volume of the cooling tower flume can be 1/2
or 1/3 of rated value. The volume of cooling tower flume should keep at the rated value if cleaning is
performed when the unit is running. Midea assumes no responsibility for pressure vessel damage
resulting from untreated or improperly treated water.
