11 Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

Liquid flow too low

Check the valves/filters.

Leakage in system/coil block

Check the connections, brazings in the heat

transfer section and the tubing. When there is a

leakage in the heat transfer section, contact the

manufacturer for further repair instructions.

Wrong flow direction in the

circuiting

See 

Liquid cooler tube connections

 on page 47.

Air in system

Ventilate the system.

Fan/fans not operating

Locate the problem and repair it or change the

fan unit.

Heat transfer section blocked up/

dirty

Vacuum clean/wash the heat transfer section.

Incoming air flow too low

Check the minimum distance between the unit

and the obstacles (see 

Positioning

 on page 42).

Ensure that there are no obstacles for the air

flow.

Wrong fan rotation direction

Wrong phase sequence. Change the connection

on motor coupling or from the switch board.

Short of capacity

Inlet air too warm

Check the location of the units (see 

Positioning

on page 42). Shade the unit from the sun. The

heat transfer capacity can be increased by a

water jet system.
There may be hot air recirculation in the unit.

Use streamers and/or wind barriers to minimize

recirculation.

Broken fan

Repair or change the fan.

Dirty fan

Clean the device; if it is unstable after cleaning,

replace the fan.

Vibration in the unit

Damaged vibration dampers

Install new vibration dampers.

Fan frozen in fan collar

Remove ice.

Fuse blown out

Replace the fuse.

Fan does not start

Overload release

Check and reset the device from the overload

release switch.
