Turbocell Units
The water regulator valve should be adjusted so
that the media is damp from top to bottom. If water
is flowing down the outside surface of the media,
the water flow is too high. Adjust the water regula-
tor valve so that media is only damp on the enter-
ing air side.
After unit has been shut down, check ductwork
downstream for any signs of water carry over. If
water is in the ductwork, the water flow is too high.
Adjust the water regulator valve until this condition
has been corrected.
3. Adjust water bleed-off valve. The unit is provided
with a manually adjustable bleed-off valve which
will allow for continuous bleed-off of water into the
overflow connection on the sump.
The bleed-off required is dependent on the qual-
ity of water used and the rate of evaporation. As
climate conditions change, the rate of evaporation
may increase, thereby requiring an increase in the
bleed-off rate. It is recommended that the bleed-
off rate be set for the condition of maximum water
evaporation.
An indication of insufficient bleed-off is a uniform
build-up of minerals on the entering air face of
the cooling media. If this condition is observed,
increase the rate of bleed-off until the mineral
deposits dissipate. Repeated drying of the cooling
media will also cause the rapid build-up of insolu-
ble mineral deposits.
SECTION VI - UNIT SHUTDOWN
A. Extended Shutdown —
1. Disable the cooling for 30 seconds, then disable
the fan.
2. Open the electrical disconnect switch.
3. Drain sump(s) and shut-off all water valves.
B. Emergency Shutdown ONLY —
1. Open the electrical disconnect switch.
