All piping must be installed only by a licensed
plumbing contractor, and in compliance with local
codes. It is the responsibility of the engineer and/or
the piping contractor to ensure that the piping is
correctly sized in relation to the installation.
Operation and Maintenance
First Use
Air Distribution
1.
Uniform air flow is crucial to coil performance and
should not vary significantly across the coil face
2.
Air velocities should be maintained between 200 and
550 feet per minute without a mist eliminator and
between 200 and 700 feet per minute with a mist
eliminator
3.
The drain pan should be designed and installed
such that there is no standing water
4.
The maximum operating temperature is 350°F for any
Direct Coil coils
Filters
Filters upstream of the coil should be checked regularly
for dirt and clogging. If the filters are dirty, they should be
cleaned or replaced. It is important that the coils be clean
to maintain maximum heat transfer capability.
Cleaning
1.
Coils must be cleaned periodically to obtain maximum
performance. Soiled fins reduce the capacity of the
coil, and demand more energy from the fan
2.
Periodic inspection of the coil for signs of damage,
leaks or corrosion is also recommended. Any repair
or replacement of parts should be performed by a
qualified professional.
3.
Any fluid passing through the coil should be free of
any sort of contaminants. Periodic testing and
correction will enable the coil to last longer.
4.
Fins can be cleaned using spray washers or using
commercial cleaners. Care must be taken not to
damage the coils and to not allow water to touch any
electrical equipment. However, caution should be
exercised when working with the fins as the sharp
edges can cause serious personal injury.
5.
When the coil surface itself needs cleaning, ensure
an appropriate solution and equipment are selected
to avoid damage to the coil and/or enabling any health
hazards. Cleaning should be done inwards from the
airflow exit so any contaminant will later be pushed
out of the coil
. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
with any cleaning solution or equipment
