CLW QUAD SERIES CHILLER INSTALLATION MANUAL

Unit Heat Exchanger Maintenance

1.

Keep all air out of the water or antifreeze solution.

2.

Keep the system under pressure at all times. Closed

loop systems must have positive static pressure or air

vents may draw air into the system.

NOTES: If the installation is in an area with a known high

mineral content in the water, it is best to establish with

the owner a periodic maintenance schedule for checking

the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger on a regular

basis. Should periodic cleaning be necessary, use standard

cleaning procedures. Generally, the more water flowing

through the unit, the less chance there is for scaling. Low

GPM flow rates produce higher temperatures through the

heat exchanger. To avoid excessive pressure drop and the

possibility of metal erosion, do not exceed GPM flow rate as

shown on the specification sheets for each unit.

Quarterly Checks

Compressor oil levels

Test and check all manual safeties

Check strainers for debris

Check water flow rates and pressure drops across

evaporators and condensers

Verify graphical data and trending

Properly document all data

Annual Checks

Remove and clean all waterside strainers

Back washing of heat exchangers

Perform leak tests on all refrigerant circuits

Check all water flanged connections for wear or leaks

Implement oil analysis if deemed necessary

Verify all electrical connections

Check and update all graphical interface items along

with main controller

Check and test all safeties both mechanical and

software

Verify sensor accuracy

Do a system check to get overall overview

Properly document all data
