Recommended maintenance and
monitoring programme

Baltimore Aircoil Company equipment needs to be properly installed, operated and maintained. Documentation of

the equipment used, including a drawing, technical data sheet and this manual should be kept on record. To

achieve long, trouble-free and safe operation, it is necessary to establish an operating plan including a programme

of regular inspection, monitoring and maintenance. All inspections, maintenance and monitoring actions should be

recorded in a cooling system logbook. The operating and maintenance instructions published here can be used as

a guide to achieve these goals.
In addition to establishing the operating plan and the cooling system logbook it is recommended to conduct a

cooling system risk analysis, preferably by an independent third party.
For more specific recommendations on keeping your cooling system efficient and safe, contact your local BAC

Balticare service provider or representative. Name, e-mail and phone number can be found on the website

www.BACService.eu.
