Recommended Maintenance and
Monitoring Programme

Baltimore Aircoil Company's ICE CHILLER

®

Thermal Storage Units and Thermal Storage Coils have been

developed for long, trouble-free service when installed, operated and maintained properly. To ensure optimal

performance and maximum equipment life for your ICE CHILLER

®

Thermal Storage Unit, it is important that a

regular inspection/maintenance program be developed and implemented. This manual is provided as a guide to unit

operation and establishing an effective maintenance program for external melt systems.
Included in the manual are start-up and shutdown procedures, maintenance procedures and a schedule of

maintenance items and their recommended frequency for the ICE CHILLER

®

Thermal Storage Unit and its related

components. An illustration of the Thermal Storage Unit, with its major components identified, is provided in "ICE

Chiller®" on page 5. All inspections, maintenance and monitoring actions should be recorded in a cooling system

logbook.
As part of your maintenance record, it is advisable to have a copy of the unit's certified drawing available for

reference during inspection and maintenance. If you do not have a copy of this drawing, or need further information

about the unit, contact your local BAC Service provider. You can find name, e-mail and phone number on the

website www.BACService.eu.

Notes

1. Water Treatment and auxiliary equipment integrated in the cooling system may require additions to the table

above. Contact suppliers for recommended actions and their required frequency.

2. Recommended service intervals are for typical installations. Different environmental conditions may dictate

more frequent servicing.
