10.6 Facility Fluid and Piping Maintenance forWaterandGlycolSystems
Maintaining the system fluid quality is required throughout the life of the system. Fluid and piping system maintenance
schedules must be established and performed. A coolant-fluid maintenance program must be established that will evaluate
fluid chemistry and apply necessary treatment. The complexity of water/glycol solution conditionproblems and the
variations of required treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water-treatment specialist and followa regularly-scheduled coolant-fluid system-maintenance program.
Perform periodic inspections of the facility and the unit coil and/or heat exchanger and coolant-fluid piping system for leaks
and visible damage.
