Inspecting the Heat Exchanger
Prerequisite
Perform an external inspection of the heat exchanger after every 500 hours of
operation (see Step 2 below).
Perform an internal inspection of the heat exchanger after every 2000 hours of
operation or when you notice a decrease in the heat exchanger performance.
Refer to the Heat Exchanger Care and Water Quality Guide (MTS part number
015-164-000) for additional information on heat exchangers and causes of heat
exchanger failure.
Important This procedure requires special training and familiarity with heat
exchanger operation. You must unbolt and remove the heat
exchanger from the reservoir in order to inspect it. Consult MTS
before you perform an internal inspection or any maintenance on
the heat exchanger.
Procedure
To inspect the heat exchanger:
1. Shut off the HPU and the cooling water supply.
