5. Use a steam cleaning machine, starting from the
top of the coil and working downward. Clean the
leaving air side of the coil first, then the entering air
side. Use a block-off to prevent steam from blowing
through the coil and into a dry section of the unit.
6. Repeat step 5 as necessary. Confirm that the drain
line is open following completion of the cleaning
process.
7. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before putting the
system back into service.
8. Straighten any coil fins that may be damaged with a
fin rake.
9. Replace all panels and parts and restore electrical
power to the unit.
10. Ensure that contaminated material does not contact
other areas of the equipment or building. Properly
dispose of all contaminated materials and cleaning
solutions.
Chemical Cleaning of Condenser and
Economizer Coil
Chemical cleaning removes scale deposits built up by
minerals in the water. For a suitable chemical solution,
consult a water treatment specialist. The condenser
water circuit is composed of copper, steel, and cast
iron. The chemical supply house should approve or
provide all materials used in the external circulating
system, along with the quantity of cleaning material,
duration of cleaning time, and safety precautions
necessary for handling the cleaning agent.

Water valves have a stern packing nut. If there is
evidence of water leakage at the valve stem, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove actuator motor from support plate.
2. Remove shaft coupling.
3. Torque the packing nut to 10-ft.-lbs. of torque.
4. Replace shaft coupling.
5. Replace actuator motor.
Flow Switch
Flow switches have a magnet on the vane assembly
that attracts ferrous particulate may build up on the
magnet to the point that the vane will wedge and not
operate properly. When the flow switch does not
operate, remove and replace.

Monthly Checklist
The following check list provides the recommended
maintenance schedule to keep the commercial self-
contained equipment running efficiently.
1. Inspect unit air filters. Clean or replace if airflow is
blocked or if filters are dirty.
2. Inspect coils for excess moisture or icing. Icing on
the coils may indicate low airflow supply, restricted
airflow from dirty fins, evaporator frost protection
sensor problems, or a shortage of refrigerant
flowing through the coil.
3. Check that condensate from the evaporator and
economizer coils flows freely through the
condensate piping, traps, drain pan, and drainage
holes. Remove algae and or any airflow
obstructions.
