Maintenance
Procedures
ATTENTION:
Mechanical cleaning must not be
performed in the Evaporator, once the
water flows through the vessel and
refrigerant gas flows inside the tubing.
Chemical Cleaningn
Chemical cleaning is the most satisfactory
means of removing deposits from the
tubes. In this treatment, the deposits are
dissolved and taken away by the
circulation of a chemical solution. The
condenser is made up of copper, steel,
and cast iron. With this information any
company that is specialized in water
treatment will be able to recommend a
chemical product to be used for this
purpose. If it is not possible to contract a
water treatment service, a chemical
product supplier could be consulted.
Cleaning onEvaporator
The evaporator is part of a closed circuit
that should not accumulate any amount of
encrustations or sediments.
The speed of the accumulation of layers
will increase with high temperature of
condensation and by water with a high
ratio of minerals. The formation of layers of
sediments in the tubes of condenser
water occurs due to a decrease in the flow
of water, a small difference in temperature
between the entering and leaving water,
and the condensing temperature that is
abnormally high. The condenser needs to
be always free of sediments in order to
keep its maximum efficiency. Even a very
fine layer along the surfaces of the tube
can diminish significantly the condenser's
heat transfer capacity.
CAUTION:
All the tests done on the pressure
regulator should be done with reliable
pressure gauges. These safety devices
are calibrated at the factory and sealed. If
violated, the warranty will be void.
!
The internal parts of the evaporator are
made of steel, polypropylene, and copper.
Do not use cleaning products that can
damage these components.
