                   Condenser Fins 
                   

Condenser fins become dirty over time as ambient air is induced to the 

                   

condenser. Dirty coil surfaces result in high condensing temperatures and 

                   

poor unit performance. Regular cleaning is recommended with frequency 

                   

depending on the installation and the surrounding environment. As a general 

                   

guide, it is advisable to do this at least once every two months.

                   

Fins should be cleaned with liquid detergent diluted with clean water. Before 

                   

washing, a light brush downward (in the direction of the fins) should be done 

                   

to remove heavy deposits. 

                   Electrical Connections
                   

Check tightness of electrical connections occasionally.

                   Routine Leak Test
                   

All joints should be checked for leaks during site visits. All joints should be 

                   

leak tested once a year. Condenser Fan(s) and Motor(s), an annual inspection 

                   

of these items is recommended. Fastenings may loosen, bearings may wear, 

                   

and fans may require cleaning of solid deposits which can cause imbalance.
